I can't believe we are already at mid November. Thanksgiving is right around the corner and then the holiday parties begin. Are you prepared for the impromptu soirees and every so often doing a little pre party hosting at your place? I know I am in serious need of stocking up my bar cart with all the holiday fun essentials. Want to get your bar cart in gear?

It's about that time to start prepping for Halloween house parties. I can remember being a little girl and having the best Halloween parties in the neighborhood. Everyone in our family always dressed up over the top and I was always so in love with the smoking punch and candied apples. I've not been big on doing it myself at my house, probably because I don't have kiddos yet but after seeing a few Halloween inso shoots, I may change my mind. This first dark and moody look by Justina B used with items from Savers thrift is so so spooky and gorgeous.

The other look I am pretty in love with is by Mandy from Waiting on Martha. It's a lighter take on the Halloween look but I love it just as much. I love the textures going on in here, it makes for such a cozy yet festive look.
