Halloween Costume Idea – The Roaring 20´ s…

….

Happy Friday ladies,

I haven´t planned on sharing this costume or a single costume at all but we are invited to a roaring 20´s themed birthday party and we had to get some cool theme matching stuff asap.

The Great Gatsby has been one of the movies I admired the most. The costumes, the music, the party, the stunning decor – everything was on point. 20´s parties have been all the rage since a few years. Who doesn´t love the mix of black and gold. It looks mysterious, expensive, sleek. My first idea of our wedding also was a Gatsby theme but I went with Fall because that´s my favorite and the reason we got married in September.

So for this look I went with a sequins and fringes dress I got from SheIn. It has the most beautiful cream color. Accessories are my favorite things to add and this era was nothing short of them. The pearl necklace, the headband and the gloves are all from SheIn and the super cool black feather boa has been an amazon find. 

All in all I am very happy with my look and can´t wait to wear it out on the town. 😉 Can you tell we don´t get out much often. 

Since all of the pieces are from SheIn / amazon it is a total affordable look and definitely could be worn to another party as well. 

Here are the exact things I got plus some really pretty pieces available on amazon.

Dress / pearl necklace / gloves / rhinestone headband

Sinister Halloween table scape….

….

Good morning friends,
(post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung – Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links-not sponsored)
can you tell me what happened over night? Why it is freezing in the morning? As much as I love fall I am not ready for frozen car windows and super cold leather seats. I broke out my winter coat today cause it only had 1 degrees outside. Anyways let´s get to today´s post.

Are there any other holiday loving, Christmas awaiting folks over here ??


I love the holidays. Love. Love. Love. I don´t know why – maybe because of the festive mood or the family get togethers or the delicioius food or maybe everything together – I just love it. Starting with the beginning of fall there are lots of holidays coming like Halloween, Thanksgiving and of course Christmas.

So let´t start with the first one – Halloween. Usually we are at home for Halloween, watch some scary movies and hand out candy to all the trick-or-treaters on our street but last year we headed to the Europapark in Rust, Germany for their Halloween decorated theme park and their parades. It was magical and mystical all in one. Have a look at the hotel here.

So since we are sticking with our old schedule this year we are having a Halloween dinner date at home including some scary decoration and sinister foods.

I am sharing my Halloween table scape today to give you some inspiration for the most horrifying day of the year.
I got this blood drenched table runner from Galeria Kaufhof, a store I personally love. They have all kinds of place mats, kitchen towels, aprons and cotton napkins. I added a chandelier with black candles to the table cause I think this will always fit just change the color of the candles and put on some spider webs. 

The black lanterns are from Ikea and I filled them up with straw I had left from our bridesmaid boxes. Always good to keep stuff like that cause you never know when you will need it again.

The grave stone placards are from amazon. Be sure to have a look since they do have lots of interesting stuff like crows and bones and spiderwebs.

All the other things are pretty random and easy to get year round like the black cotton napkins, the napkin rings and the place mats. 

The punch I made is from Martha Stewart and I also made some hummus to serve with crackers and got some Italian antipasti  as an entrée. The main course included a steak cause I couldn´t think of a better halloween food than a bloody piece of meat on my plate.


Are you planing on celebrating a dinner date/party at home or are you going out. I love staying in and scaring the neighbours children.
