The thing about gaining weight is you have to get really creative with your outfits. But here are some of my fall fashions, some are pinterest inspired and some of the worst ones are all me.

Just a few spooky elements to spruce up the front of my house for Halloween

I hope everyone had a great and safe Halloween this year! Mine was very fun filled, lots of laughs, lots of candy and cocktails and great friends! As promised here is a look at my costume and some of my night...

p.s. I had only my point and shoot camera for the night, so please excuse the lack of high quality shots

As some of you regular readers know I threw a Halloween bash at my place last year and I went all out! This year I am headed to a party and although I am not decking my place out again aside from a few pumpkins some cobwebs, and a bowl of candy I can still share last years pics with all my lovely readers and wish everyone a Happy Halloween!

So remember when I said I was going as a black swan ballerina this year for Halloween...well I changed my mind. Yup that's my indecisive self again! Anyway I decided I would go as one of my favourite things ever!!! a vintage pin up girl. I love old pin ups. I am really nostalgic and I love the 40's, 50's and 60's including clothing and even music. I became interested in pin ups when Vanity Fair magazine started putting out their "Vanities" photo spreads featuring big hollywood starlets dressed as vintage pin ups; I even started a group on Facebook called PIN UP GIRLS when I first joined back in the day and the group now has over 3900 members! So I guess I am not alone in my love of pin ups!

So I've been researching costumes, makeup and even hairdo's from that era. I have this cute polka dot romper, a flower pin for my hair, a white belt, some cute nude coloured pumps and I just need some red nail polish and a set of false lashes to top it all off. I Can't wait for the weekend when I will be all done up, but until then here is a little sneak peek at my costume...I will be sure to post pics of me in full costume and makeup next week.

I just spotted this amazing sweet table over at Hostess with the Mostess. A Victorian Halloween dessert table! If I were doing a Halloween bash at my place this year I would definetely try this, so I am bookmarking it for next year. I love the purple, orange and black colour theme.

How about you guys anyone doing a party at their place or going out to a party maybe? I'd love to hear about it...

Enjoy the pics:

Here are just some of the soaps I've been staying up late to make for the upcoming holiday season, plus some other fun Halloween soaps for next week... head over there's lots more. I hope you can all have a look at my shop Lather & Soak if you've never been before. BTW these soaps make perfect gifts!!
