29 Oct
One Tiny Champagne Bar. Otherwise known as the cutest bar I’ve ever seen in my life. It’s hardly surprising coming from a girl whose room was painted ‘Mint Majesty’ for years. I’m considering turning my kitchen into One Tiny Champagne Bar… what do you think? Not a bad idea I’d say. Except that I’m not a fan of champagne (something about the bubbles) so let’s go with One Tiny Wine Bar. Or maybe One Tiny Hot Chocolate Bar. Mmmm. One Tiny Green Tea Bar. Apparently I’m partial to things that are tiny. And corks in a bell jar (genius). If you’re ever in Helsinki, don’t forget to pop in to this tiny establishment!
LAST-MINUTE HALLOWEEN IDEAS (from the runway)

Still struggling for last minute Halloween costume ideas? Well I went to the Spirit Halloween store last night and let me tell you, it was not hot. If you’re looking for a Halloween costume that does not involve a corset or fishnets this year, why not look to the runways? I sifted through a few of the more theatrical shows and found these, but there’s so much more inspiration to be found! Better yet, these costumes don’t require a trip to the Halloween store.
1. Put a lampshade on your head (or a giant visor for that matter) your most extravagant dress (yunno the one you never get to wear!) and be an Alexander McQueen model
2. Don all your leopard, too-tight clothing, an outrageous hat, and too much makeup. Bring a rolling luggage and go as a tacky tourist.
3. You could always pull a Roberto Cavalli and go as Karl Lagerfeld! A black blazer, white button up, a tie, some white hair spray paint on your ponytail, and sunglasses should do the trick.
Sarah Jessica Parker on Glee
24 Oct
I haven’t actually had a chance to see this episode yet, but Sarah Jessica Parker as editor of Vogue on Glee is a triple threat if I’ve ever heard one. She can sing, she can dance, she can act, and unequivocally, the girl can dress. That’s a quadruple threat. SJP is BFFs with Anna Wintour, and supposedly Anna helped pick out her wardrobe to play the part. I wonder if she picked that gem encrusted eagle necklace too! If you’d like a bird of your own, Zara does one for just $39.90, and to get the look for even less, Forever 21 has one for $12.80!
DIY Files: Butterflies & Pumpkins
23 Oct
The steps and materials are essentially the same for all of three of these DIYs! Print clip art butterflies onto vellum sheets, and stick them to a lightbulb, a branch, a pumpkin, or anything you’d like. And if you’d prefer, you can use these butterfly decals instead.
I think this would be a fabulous way to add character to a ceiling light if you live in an apartment and can’t change out your fixtures. For materials and directions, you’ve gotta check out Suzonne’s post over at Urban Comfort. She even pulled together a pinterest board of butterfly clip art! Such a good resource.
