Your Haute Halloween Home

{ Via: Horchow }

Halloween is for all ages. Some love it, but some would rather not dress up, pretend, trick or treat, or pass out candy. This post is for those adults that are all in. If you are having a Halloween dinner or cocktail party, decor is essential.  You already know the theme that you want.  Now set the scene with playful pumpkins, creepy cocktails and more. Here's how to make it happen. 

All The Pretty Pumpkins
You'll find hand painted, glazed and happily haunted home things...perfect for any party.
MacKenzie-Childs

Morticia Melamine Tray
I so love this. What fun for less than $10. Buy these in multiples for indoor or outdoor service. I mean who doesn't love the Adams Family?
World Market 

Halloween Invitation
A perfect invite for fancy fetes. The illustration is fab and your guests will love it.
A Thing Created At Etsy

Gold Pumpkin Bowls
These pretty pumpkins add a glam touch to any table or bar cart. Use the large bowl for ice, a champagne cooler, as a soup tureen, or punch bowl. The smaller bowls are perfect for soup. A great addition to the Thanksgiving table, as well. 
Horchow

Velvet Pumpkins
I love it when you can match holiday decorations to your own decor. This is the loveliest pumpkin patch you ever saw. They are all hand crafted in every color under the sun.
Your Hearts Content Etsy

Nothing is classier than a linen napkin at an adult party. These feature edgy but intricate details that are just perfect for Halloween and beyond. They also make a fabulous 
host gift.
One Kings Lane

Halloween Mist Maker
I have always wondered how they make this happen. The secret is LED lights. It's on sale for less than $20. 
What fun!

As always, good style comes at all price points. It's time to boot up!

Loeffler Randall Exotic Mix

A little bit country with a certain chic femininity. The Dylan Boots are leather embossed cowhide with a stacked Cuban heel. The Maria Square Bag with Chains and Bamboo Handle is chock full of delicious details. 
Shopbop

The Ashlyn Boot

The classic Chelsea boot gets a cool and refined update with faux pearls. Aren't they great? Also available in a combat style and knee high.

Pearce Pointy Toe Bootie

Simple but sexy. These $100 boots with a pointed toe and high heel, gets your point of view across. 

Nine West

Lafayette 148  NY

The Boot Collection was designed to keep pace with the non-stop rhythms of city life. One of my fave styles of the seasons is the Eikkien Python Boot on the left.

Lafayette 148 NY

Paris Texas Boots

From a brand that is new to me. But I am loving the shiny and metallic leather and the croc embossing. Really beautiful! 

Neiman Marcus

ASOS Design Cecily

Selected not only for their price point { under $75 } but for their good looks and design. It's faux suede but still on trend. I would particularly love these with a 

midi skirt or dress.

ASOS

The Rich

Singer, and one of my favorite celebrities, Katy Perry, has created a line of footwear that is both adorable and affordable. Of course, this style is very "of the moment."

Katy Perry Collection

Proenza Schouler

Two-Tone Leather Ankle Boots

"Proenza Schouler's two-tone leather ankle boots are crafted with contrast paneling and an almond toe shape." One of the most expensive picks of the edit, and I feel they look it. Cream or Winter white is always so elegant. Add a touch of gold and it becomes glamorous.

Moda Operandi

The Pillar Boot

This season slouchy is stylish, standing or sitting. These boots have a striking heel and come with two year cobbler service. Click for information.

Tamara Mellon

Schutz Avory Two Tone Booties

Ferragamo Primula

My Mother wore Ferragamo shoes for their comfort.  Anyone would be happy wearing these for their charm!

Foodie Friday: A Taste Of Fall

Have you caught the Fall Fever yet? In Chicago we have gone from 88 degrees to 50 degrees in 48 hours. But as I have said before the "Shop This" household is all about Fall. We love it....the weather....the clothing, and the tastes of Fall. I look forward to making my first pot of chili this weekend, and maybe a cake or pie. If you, too, want to get back in the kitchen, this post is for you.  Be sure to click on the link at the bottom of the page for more
 inspiration from last year!

HERE: 12 Recipes That Scream Fall

Smoky Cider Mezcal Margarita
I had a Mezcal Margarita last Christmas Eve. It was beyond good. This recipe is a little smoky, a little citrusy and slightly heavy on the orange. The main ingredient is lots of cinnamon-y cider. 
How Sweet Eats

Apple, Bacon and Rosemary Pizza
Have you ever seen a prettier pizza? This recipe combines Sierra Beauty apples (although you can use any you like) with shredded mozzarella and gruyere (my favorite )and gets even more flavor from pieces of smoky bacon and bits of rosemary.  OMG!
Honestly Yum

Apple Coder Donut Pancakes
Doesn't apple cider and donuts just remind you of your childhood? This recipe is all of that and more. Looks perfect as a breakfast for
 dinner dish.
Broma Bakery

Pumpkin Pasta With Parmesan Garlic Cream Sauce
Comfort food. We all need it every once in a while. This dish will do it for you. With an infusion of thyme, the sauce is said to be 
super savory.
Family Style Food

Wild Mushroom Toast With Truffle Butter
Here's your next cocktail party appetizer. No one will be bale to resist the earthy aroma of wild mushrooms and truffle butter. That truffle will elevate everything. But they are expensive. I bet you could substitute truffle oil.
Williams Sonoma

Milk Chocolate Salted Caramel Cups

Caramel and chocolate, a match made in sugary heaven. If you haven't made your own caramel, please try it. It couldn't be easier. I make it often. This recipe only has six ingredients, and one of them is Nutella! Need I say more?

Half Baked Harvest 

Chile-Maple Roast Chicken

This recipe by Antoni Porowski is for "Mr. Shop This" His dream meal would be a roasted chicken. Because of my chicken /bird phobia, I just can't eat hot chicken with bones. I think I have heard Kelly Ripa mention the same aversion. But I am willing to prepare this chicken recipe for him. He has been working hard.  Can't you just imagine how it smells while roasting?
Pure Wow

 Sweet Potato Mash With Fresh Herbs

Why wait until Thanksgiving for this colorful concoction? I say test it out today. It would be wonderful with the roasted chicken above.
Foodness Gracious

The Best Cinnamon Rolls Ever

I admit that I have never made cinnamon rolls, but I sure have served plenty of those in the can. That will never happen again. Who needs those nasty preservatives? Most importantly this recipe calls for plenty of the cinnamon-y cream cheese frosting. YUM!
Foodie Crush

Butternut Squash Hummus
I started making my own Hummus last Thanksgiving. I know people love it, but I would never serve anything off a shelf to company. It was a big hit....pumpkin hummus. And it took no time at all to put together, This looks even better. Give it a try.

Minimalist Baker

Glazed and Flaky Apple Tart
If you love apples, this dish is for you. The apples are sliced in half and roasted with brandy and maple syrup. The crust is said to be the absolute flakiest. Sounds like a winning dessert for Fall. 
Epicurious

Pumpkin Pie-Tini
I am not a martini drinker. I  think that my arm could be twisted to take a sip of one of these. The recipe begins with Pumpkin or Vanilla Vodka and ends with a dollop of whipped cream. That rim is created with crushed graham crackers and maple syrup. Oh yes, I love to drink my dessert. Don't you?
