BITE ME

Halloween is approaching wicked fast and Etsy, as always, is just in time with some fabulous homemade goods. The above skull lollipop favors (set of ten) were created by SIMPLE TASTES and the "bite me" banner was created by HOUSE OF CLOUDS. 

 Frightening budget this Halloween?  Etsy has a lot of great ideas for decor that you and your family can create together.

ATTRACTIVE SUPERFLUTIES

Though they may be small, accessories make a HUGE difference when decorating spaces. The most important factor when selecting accessories: Make sure you love them. Avoid buying something just because it matches. Also, I like accessories that not only look good but serve a purpose, too. All of the above accessories have some sort of function. But what if they don't match your space or what if you hate the color?  I have been watching Antonio Balatore on HGTV and he has taken a ceramic piece and sprayed it hot pink in almost every room he has designed, leaving it as his signature. I, personally, love spray paint! I currently have a bottle of robin egg blue paint from Michael's that I use on everything. When making your purchase, remember to love the item and use a little spray paint if you have to. Taking chances is what makes design exciting.

CLOTHES

Though famous for underwear, Victoria's Secret has some excellent outerwear for the fall season. I think the sequined jacket is a great fall choice. After all, who couldn't use a little more wardrobe bling!

INTERIORS

Designer Isabel Lopez Quesada has a remarkable eye. I love the mixture of gold and off white accents.
