Fall Trend: Built In Baubles

{ Via: Moda Operandi }

Here's the first in a series of Fall trend posts. We will cover them all in the next couple of weeks - Fringe, Leather everywhere, Skirt Suits, Puff Sleeves and more.  By baubles, I mean embellishments. Think chains, pearls, crystals and all of the elegant extras. It is very nineties, and my favorite trend of the season. Consider built in baubles to be an easy solution to accessorizing.

Halloween At Home: Etsy Style

Halloween will be different this year. Many families are playing it safe and celebrating at home. But that doesn't mean that it can't be a boo-tiful event. Invite a few of the kids besties, plan a theme, dress them up, decorate the door. Make it a mini party, but special. This edit begins with hello and a great door mat, and ends with sweet dreams for all in matching jammies. No tricks. Just treats!

Etsy Editors Picks

When I shop Etsy, the first place I go to are the Editor's Picks. I always find something good no matter what the department. The Halloween Edit is filled with the best in freaky and

 fabulous finds.

Create A Warm Welcome

This year has been spooky enough. Why not make everyone feel welcome instead of afraid? The Pumpkin Door Mat is the cutest, and the wreath is one of the prettiest. Wild Ridge Designs allows you to choose your size and ribbon color.  Those giant Spider Webs are fun and made of wool. You get two in your set. Use them inside or out. 

Set A Safari Theme

Grown ups and little kids alike will love this awesome animal theme. Dress the baby in a leopard print romper from Tesa Babe.  Hang animal print paper lanterns in the foyer or over the table. Find these at Party Connoisseur .  I would use the leopard paper plates any day of the week. And the darling mini Party Pails will be fab for holding individual treats. 

Party Favors

Invite a few of the kids "besties" over, ask them to wear a mask, and give them each one of these adorable favors.

Goodie Goodie Surprise

Staying Home?

This is all the costume you need.

Dress Up The kids

Let's raise our children to be super heroes. Teach them that they have the powers within to change the world. These personalized capes and accessories will make them look the part. Not to mention, they will be super comfy, too.

Top Left. and Bottom Right from Love Lane Designs. Wonder Woman Tutu is from Posh Little Kids and the personalized blue Cape is from 

Super Kid Capes

Super Hero Party Inspiration

Can we have too much super hero inspo? I think not. These perfect picks will get your mini party going.  The Super Hero Party Bags are beautifully made. Create Cupcakes for a sweet treat, and add these colorful toppers from B Squared Design. Decorate the table with S for Super Hero Confetti. The most important party favor of all will be the super hero face mask. Etsy has a big selection. Be safe, especially on Halloween.

Personalized Pumpkin PJS
Talk about sweet dreams after all of that candy! These precious pumpkin jammies are just the thing to wear at home on Halloween.  The owner of the shop states that the pajamas are made with cotton, embroidery, and love. So sweet. Best yet, they come in sizes newborn - adult 3XL.
