Favorite Things Part 4
It's been a while since I've made a Favorite Things post, so I feel like it's time for one today!
1. Winter Coats
Now that Autumn is officially here and Winter isn't TOO far away, I'm super excited about breaking out all of the cold weather ware! Here in NC, our mornings are varied from mid 40's to mid 60's, with the warmest part of the day reaching upper 50's to upper 70's. This time of year is sooo tricky! I haven't pulled out and dusted off my winter coats, yet, but I definitely feel the need to share the love I have for coats!
2. Scarves
What goes best with a winter coat during those cool/cold Autumn/Winter days? A scarf! I'm not talking about this flimsy fashion scarves that people wear. I'm talking scarves made for warmth...AND fashion! I love having my three winter coats (one gray that hits mid-thigh, one black that hits at my hip, and one blue plaid that hits at my waist) and having SEVERAL scarves that can be changed out and worn with almost all three of my coats!
3. Children's Holiday Movies
I admit it. I love love love love LOVE holiday movies...especially those made specifically for children. I'm not just talking about Christmas movies such as Frosty, Rudolph, The Night Before Christmas, etc. I'm talking about Halloween, Thanksgiving, Easter, Fourth of July, etc. etc. movies. I love the Hallmark Channel original movies made for adults as well as some of the other made for TV movies, but my most favorite always have and always will be the holiday movies made for kids!
These are a few of my favorite things! Do we share any favorites? Do you despise my choices? Let me know in the comments below! I'd love to hear from you!

Halloween Inspiration
Are you a last minute kind of person? I used to be. I sometimes, though rarely, still am. I like to plan ahead, but sometimes my plans stay plans for too long and I'm rushing around at the last minute trying to pull everything I planned together! If you're like me OR if you're a procrastinator (or even if you're a planner), this post is for you!
I don't know how things work in your family, but growing up, we always made our costumes. We didn't buy those flimsy overpriced costumes that you pray make it through the night without exposing yourself. Plus, those things are THIN and since I am originally from Central NY, they just didn't cut it...especially the years it snowed on October 31st. Anyway, now that I'm an adult, I don't really want to put TOO much time, effort, or money into my costume, so I try to use basic items that I already have in my wardrobe and/or accessorize using inexpensive accessories.
Last year, I bought $3 fairy wings, glitter hairspray, and some black nail polish. I made a tutu out of purple and black tulle, wore a black shirt and leggings that I already owned, did some crazy eye makeup and called myself a dark fairy. :-) The hubs wore his golf pants, golf shoes, a golf polo, golf hat, and carried a golf club. I'll give you two guesses what his costume was...and the first one doesn't count. :-)
I was playing around on Polyvore creating a style board for the hubs and my 2011 Halloween costumes (look for it on Fashion Friday, 10/28) when I had the idea to create a few other style boards to offer others inspiration for Halloween costumes! Here are some I came up with!
What are you going to be for Halloween?
