Fall Decorating Ideas MEREDITH COTTON
FIVEFALLDECORATINGIDEAS
Fall was always a favorite time of year for my family even growing up in Florida I remember how colorful the house seemed when I would vis-it on a fall weekend in college Now that I am in a place of my own I hope to keep the fall decor tradition alive in my own place Below Ive composed a list of my five favorite DIY was to add a touch of fall to your own bachelorette pad
1 A WREATH- Nothing says Wel-come like a sweet wreath ready for fall While there a plenty of gor-geous options for purchase at stores like Home Goods
2 REPLACING DECOR- While my apartment definitely has a color scheme I love adding in holiday touches with things like dish towels picture frames and more While I dont really have the budget (or storage) to be stocking up on a ton of fall decor I did pick up a few plastic fall veggies like pumpkins and squash from my local Dol-lar Tree I spray painted the pieces white and silver which match the color scheme of my apartment a re-placed a bit of my decor with these items
This also works well for Halloween I grabbed a few skulls and cats and spray painted these to match my apartment as well
3 SCENTS- There a few things better than walking into a fabu-lously scented room While candles are great for evenings at home its important to keep the scent going
Personally I love the scent options from Bath and Body Works I use wallflowers 247 and candles when I am cooking relaxing in the eve-ning Some of their best fall scents include Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin Leaves Apple Ale Pumpkin Carv-ing and Bergamot Woods
4 TABLESCAPE- A fall tablescape can really go a long way in a small apartment I love mixing rustic masculine materials when creating my fall table setting--think plaids wood lanterns metallic etc I picked up quick a few great piec-es for this project at both Target and my local Dollar Tree Not sure where to start I definitely suggest heading over to Pinterest for some quick inspiration
5 FOOD- Lauren posted on LPF about a favorite fall food tradition she shares with Jocelyn when they enjoy spiced apple cider and donuts on the first night of fall I know they look forward to it every year just like I look forward to the first time its finally cool enough to make pumpkin bread
Take some time to enjoy a new recipe (it makes for a fun date) with seasonal favorites like pumpkin or fresh picked apples I am looking forward to trying this lightened-up Pumpkin Banana Bread from Food Love amp Life
Hopefully these tips help to make your place feel a bit more like home this season
Halloween is right around the corner It is that time of year that we have always loved since childhood Those were the times we spent getting dressed up going to scary parties and knocking on neighboursquos doors shouting ldquoTrick or Treatrdquo Now we love the idea of taking some of your existing wardrobe and transforming it into a styl-ish classic Halloween costume
What to wear is always the biggest challenge Lately the norm is to be as scandalous as you can with your halloween get-up but thatrsquos just not for everyone Another theme of outfits that seem to be all over the shelves nowadays is Halloween versions of Alice In Wonderland and Little Red Riding Hood but those can seem too sweet amp not spooky enoughWhen I was a little girl all I wanted to dress up as was a witch not a fairy tale or Disney character
Nevertheless with our busy student schedules and lack of money to throw away on just one fan-cy dress outfit why not buy clothes that you can dress up to suit one of the classic Halloween per-sonas this year This way you have a brand new outfit that can be worn more than once a year
The female version of the Devil is deemed to be sexy powerful and the ultimate lsquoLady in Redrsquo In-stead of buying a tacky PVC dress or the shortest red skirt imaginable go towards the more elegant look with a slinky red maxidress and red stilettos

DIY Halloween Costumes FAYE SMITH
Wear strong black liner with mascara and com-plete the look with blood red lips and nails You will feel sexy and sophisticated with this look and you will definitely turn heads in this outfit
Another classic is the vampire Historically (and if you have seen all the vampire films and television shows old and new) the female vam-pire is flawless beautiful and seductive For this night and every other without the fangs you can mirror the same image with a simple fitted LBD dark red lips dark eye makeup oxblood nails with a cracking pair of sky high black stilletos to complete the look
As I said before transforming into a witch when I was a kid was so exciting To have my mother make me up with her dark red lipstick completed with a spider drawn on my cheek with black eyeliner is one of my cherished moments from early childhood Now that Irsquom twenty if I were to become a classic witch I would be doing my own makeup -Creating a black smoky eye using dark greys with black around the outer cor-ner A black laced dress with laced tights creates the perfect witch silhouette and to top it off a tall black hat For your feet witches can magic up anything so why not a pair of beautiful laced up boots

LPF MAG Share with us the businesses yoursquove launched your entrepreneurial pursuits
JENNIFER In 2007 after I graduated from college I joined my parents in Ovaleye which at the time was focusing on web development and shared hosting My responsibility initially was in growing the do-it-yourself clientele Eventually we decided to focus more of our efforts on shared hosting and used live webcasting to put our word
of mouth marketing on overdrive and it paid off
In the beginning of this year I began focusing on offering our live webcasting platform and man-aged production services to other brands YoungFe-
maleEntrepreneurscom my lifestyle brand for entrepreneurial women in their 20s and 30s has used our services since 2012
LPF MAG How did you get started as an entrepreneur
JENNIFER After college my parents sat me down as I was applying for employment and asked if I saw myself being tied down at a nine to five job or if I wanted to be in charge of my own destiny I chose the latter
LFF MAG What is your favorite part of your job
JENNIFER My favorite part of live webcasting is what it does for communities Sure itrsquos con-tent but most importantly itrsquos an event that is easy to access great for meeting new people and exchanging ideas
LPF MAG Whatrsquos the best thing about being an entrepreneur
JENNIFER Itrsquos a constant reminder that oppor-tunities are endless if you know what you want and believe you can achieve it

LPF MAG What is the best business advice yoursquove ever received
JENNIFER ldquoThink happy thoughtsrdquo My par-ents were big on positive thinking growing up (Editors Note This reminds me of my parents as well)

JENNIFER ldquoI didnrsquot expect any of this I didnrsquot expect my love for YFE that I would be in the business of live webcasting and I definitely didnrsquot expect the time it is taking to realize the
bigger picture in all of this
LPF MAG Where do you see YFE + Ovaleye TV heading in the future
JENNIFER YFE will focus on helping entrepre-neurial women in their 20s and 30s connect with their peers online and in person on a grander
scale Ovaleye is focusing on building out the technolo-gy that makes live webcasting more conducive to community building LPF MAG Per-sonal branding has been a big focus in the business commu-nity lately- whatrsquos the best way for someone to start creating that
JENNIFER I read Make a Name for Yourself by Robin Fisher Roffer early in Ovaleye and think all young women should too

FIVEFALLDECORATINGIDEAS
Fall Decorating Ideas MEREDITH COTTON
FIVEFALLDECORATINGIDEAS
Fall was always a favorite time of year for my family even growing up in Florida I remember how colorful the house seemed when I would vis-it on a fall weekend in college Now that I am in a place of my own I hope to keep the fall decor tradition alive in my own place Below Ive composed a list of my five favorite DIY was to add a touch of fall to your own bachelorette pad
1 A WREATH- Nothing says Wel-come like a sweet wreath ready for fall While there a plenty of gor-geous options for purchase at stores like Home Goods
2 REPLACING DECOR- While my apartment definitely has a color scheme I love adding in holiday touches with things like dish towels picture frames and more While I dont really have the budget (or storage) to be stocking up on a ton of fall decor I did pick up a few plastic fall veggies like pumpkins and squash from my local Dol-lar Tree I spray painted the pieces white and silver which match the color scheme of my apartment a re-placed a bit of my decor with these items
This also works well for Halloween I grabbed a few skulls and cats and spray painted these to match my apartment as well
3 SCENTS- There a few things better than walking into a fabu-lously scented room While candles are great for evenings at home its important to keep the scent going
Personally I love the scent options from Bath and Body Works I use wallflowers 247 and candles when I am cooking relaxing in the eve-ning Some of their best fall scents include Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin Leaves Apple Ale Pumpkin Carv-ing and Bergamot Woods
4 TABLESCAPE- A fall tablescape can really go a long way in a small apartment I love mixing rustic masculine materials when creating my fall table setting--think plaids wood lanterns metallic etc I picked up quick a few great piec-es for this project at both Target and my local Dollar Tree Not sure where to start I definitely suggest heading over to Pinterest for some quick inspiration
5 FOOD- Lauren posted on LPF about a favorite fall food tradition she shares with Jocelyn when they enjoy spiced apple cider and donuts on the first night of fall I know they look forward to it every year just like I look forward to the first time its finally cool enough to make pumpkin bread
Take some time to enjoy a new recipe (it makes for a fun date) with seasonal favorites like pumpkin or fresh picked apples I am looking forward to trying this lightened-up Pumpkin Banana Bread from Food Love amp Life
Hopefully these tips help to make your place feel a bit more like home this season
Halloween is right around the corner It is that time of year that we have always loved since childhood Those were the times we spent getting dressed up going to scary parties and knocking on neighboursquos doors shouting ldquoTrick or Treatrdquo Now we love the idea of taking some of your existing wardrobe and transforming it into a styl-ish classic Halloween costume
What to wear is always the biggest challenge Lately the norm is to be as scandalous as you can with your halloween get-up but thatrsquos just not for everyone Another theme of outfits that seem to be all over the shelves nowadays is Halloween versions of Alice In Wonderland and Little Red Riding Hood but those can seem too sweet amp not spooky enoughWhen I was a little girl all I wanted to dress up as was a witch not a fairy tale or Disney character
Nevertheless with our busy student schedules and lack of money to throw away on just one fan-cy dress outfit why not buy clothes that you can dress up to suit one of the classic Halloween per-sonas this year This way you have a brand new outfit that can be worn more than once a year
The female version of the Devil is deemed to be sexy powerful and the ultimate lsquoLady in Redrsquo In-stead of buying a tacky PVC dress or the shortest red skirt imaginable go towards the more elegant look with a slinky red maxidress and red stilettos

DIY Halloween Costumes FAYE SMITH
Wear strong black liner with mascara and com-plete the look with blood red lips and nails You will feel sexy and sophisticated with this look and you will definitely turn heads in this outfit
Another classic is the vampire Historically (and if you have seen all the vampire films and television shows old and new) the female vam-pire is flawless beautiful and seductive For this night and every other without the fangs you can mirror the same image with a simple fitted LBD dark red lips dark eye makeup oxblood nails with a cracking pair of sky high black stilletos to complete the look
As I said before transforming into a witch when I was a kid was so exciting To have my mother make me up with her dark red lipstick completed with a spider drawn on my cheek with black eyeliner is one of my cherished moments from early childhood Now that Irsquom twenty if I were to become a classic witch I would be doing my own makeup -Creating a black smoky eye using dark greys with black around the outer cor-ner A black laced dress with laced tights creates the perfect witch silhouette and to top it off a tall black hat For your feet witches can magic up anything so why not a pair of beautiful laced up boots

Fall was always a favorite time of year for my family even growing up in Florida I remember how colorful the house seemed when I would vis-it on a fall weekend in college Now that I am in a place of my own I hope to keep the fall decor tradition alive in my own place Below Ive composed a list of my five favorite DIY was to add a touch of fall to your own bachelorette pad
1 A WREATH- Nothing says Wel-come like a sweet wreath ready for fall While there a plenty of gor-geous options for purchase at stores like Home Goods
2 REPLACING DECOR- While my apartment definitely has a color scheme I love adding in holiday touches with things like dish towels picture frames and more While I dont really have the budget (or storage) to be stocking up on a ton of fall decor I did pick up a few plastic fall veggies like pumpkins and squash from my local Dol-lar Tree I spray painted the pieces white and silver which match the color scheme of my apartment a re-placed a bit of my decor with these items
This also works well for Halloween I grabbed a few skulls and cats and spray painted these to match my apartment as well
3 SCENTS- There a few things better than walking into a fabu-lously scented room While candles are great for evenings at home its important to keep the scent going
Personally I love the scent options from Bath and Body Works I use wallflowers 247 and candles when I am cooking relaxing in the eve-ning Some of their best fall scents include Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin Leaves Apple Ale Pumpkin Carv-ing and Bergamot Woods
4 TABLESCAPE- A fall tablescape can really go a long way in a small apartment I love mixing rustic masculine materials when creating my fall table setting--think plaids wood lanterns metallic etc I picked up quick a few great piec-es for this project at both Target and my local Dollar Tree Not sure where to start I definitely suggest heading over to Pinterest for some quick inspiration
5 FOOD- Lauren posted on LPF about a favorite fall food tradition she shares with Jocelyn when they enjoy spiced apple cider and donuts on the first night of fall I know they look forward to it every year just like I look forward to the first time its finally cool enough to make pumpkin bread
Take some time to enjoy a new recipe (it makes for a fun date) with seasonal favorites like pumpkin or fresh picked apples I am looking forward to trying this lightened-up Pumpkin Banana Bread from Food Love amp Life
Hopefully these tips help to make your place feel a bit more like home this season
Halloween is right around the corner It is that time of year that we have always loved since childhood Those were the times we spent getting dressed up going to scary parties and knocking on neighboursquos doors shouting ldquoTrick or Treatrdquo Now we love the idea of taking some of your existing wardrobe and transforming it into a styl-ish classic Halloween costume
What to wear is always the biggest challenge Lately the norm is to be as scandalous as you can with your halloween get-up but thatrsquos just not for everyone Another theme of outfits that seem to be all over the shelves nowadays is Halloween versions of Alice In Wonderland and Little Red Riding Hood but those can seem too sweet amp not spooky enoughWhen I was a little girl all I wanted to dress up as was a witch not a fairy tale or Disney character
Nevertheless with our busy student schedules and lack of money to throw away on just one fan-cy dress outfit why not buy clothes that you can dress up to suit one of the classic Halloween per-sonas this year This way you have a brand new outfit that can be worn more than once a year
The female version of the Devil is deemed to be sexy powerful and the ultimate lsquoLady in Redrsquo In-stead of buying a tacky PVC dress or the shortest red skirt imaginable go towards the more elegant look with a slinky red maxidress and red stilettos

DIY Halloween Costumes FAYE SMITH
Wear strong black liner with mascara and com-plete the look with blood red lips and nails You will feel sexy and sophisticated with this look and you will definitely turn heads in this outfit
Another classic is the vampire Historically (and if you have seen all the vampire films and television shows old and new) the female vam-pire is flawless beautiful and seductive For this night and every other without the fangs you can mirror the same image with a simple fitted LBD dark red lips dark eye makeup oxblood nails with a cracking pair of sky high black stilletos to complete the look
As I said before transforming into a witch when I was a kid was so exciting To have my mother make me up with her dark red lipstick completed with a spider drawn on my cheek with black eyeliner is one of my cherished moments from early childhood Now that Irsquom twenty if I were to become a classic witch I would be doing my own makeup -Creating a black smoky eye using dark greys with black around the outer cor-ner A black laced dress with laced tights creates the perfect witch silhouette and to top it off a tall black hat For your feet witches can magic up anything so why not a pair of beautiful laced up boots

Fall Decorating Ideas MEREDITH COTTON
FIVEFALLDECORATINGIDEAS
Fall was always a favorite time of year for my family even growing up in Florida I remember how colorful the house seemed when I would vis-it on a fall weekend in college Now that I am in a place of my own I hope to keep the fall decor tradition alive in my own place Below Ive composed a list of my five favorite DIY was to add a touch of fall to your own bachelorette pad
1 A WREATH- Nothing says Wel-come like a sweet wreath ready for fall While there a plenty of gor-geous options for purchase at stores like Home Goods
2 REPLACING DECOR- While my apartment definitely has a color scheme I love adding in holiday touches with things like dish towels picture frames and more While I dont really have the budget (or storage) to be stocking up on a ton of fall decor I did pick up a few plastic fall veggies like pumpkins and squash from my local Dol-lar Tree I spray painted the pieces white and silver which match the color scheme of my apartment a re-placed a bit of my decor with these items
This also works well for Halloween I grabbed a few skulls and cats and spray painted these to match my apartment as well
3 SCENTS- There a few things better than walking into a fabu-lously scented room While candles are great for evenings at home its important to keep the scent going
Personally I love the scent options from Bath and Body Works I use wallflowers 247 and candles when I am cooking relaxing in the eve-ning Some of their best fall scents include Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin Leaves Apple Ale Pumpkin Carv-ing and Bergamot Woods
4 TABLESCAPE- A fall tablescape can really go a long way in a small apartment I love mixing rustic masculine materials when creating my fall table setting--think plaids wood lanterns metallic etc I picked up quick a few great piec-es for this project at both Target and my local Dollar Tree Not sure where to start I definitely suggest heading over to Pinterest for some quick inspiration
5 FOOD- Lauren posted on LPF about a favorite fall food tradition she shares with Jocelyn when they enjoy spiced apple cider and donuts on the first night of fall I know they look forward to it every year just like I look forward to the first time its finally cool enough to make pumpkin bread
Take some time to enjoy a new recipe (it makes for a fun date) with seasonal favorites like pumpkin or fresh picked apples I am looking forward to trying this lightened-up Pumpkin Banana Bread from Food Love amp Life
Hopefully these tips help to make your place feel a bit more like home this season
Halloween is right around the corner It is that time of year that we have always loved since childhood Those were the times we spent getting dressed up going to scary parties and knocking on neighboursquos doors shouting ldquoTrick or Treatrdquo Now we love the idea of taking some of your existing wardrobe and transforming it into a styl-ish classic Halloween costume
What to wear is always the biggest challenge Lately the norm is to be as scandalous as you can with your halloween get-up but thatrsquos just not for everyone Another theme of outfits that seem to be all over the shelves nowadays is Halloween versions of Alice In Wonderland and Little Red Riding Hood but those can seem too sweet amp not spooky enoughWhen I was a little girl all I wanted to dress up as was a witch not a fairy tale or Disney character
Nevertheless with our busy student schedules and lack of money to throw away on just one fan-cy dress outfit why not buy clothes that you can dress up to suit one of the classic Halloween per-sonas this year This way you have a brand new outfit that can be worn more than once a year
The female version of the Devil is deemed to be sexy powerful and the ultimate lsquoLady in Redrsquo In-stead of buying a tacky PVC dress or the shortest red skirt imaginable go towards the more elegant look with a slinky red maxidress and red stilettos

Wear strong black liner with mascara and com-plete the look with blood red lips and nails You will feel sexy and sophisticated with this look and you will definitely turn heads in this outfit
Another classic is the vampire Historically (and if you have seen all the vampire films and television shows old and new) the female vam-pire is flawless beautiful and seductive For this night and every other without the fangs you can mirror the same image with a simple fitted LBD dark red lips dark eye makeup oxblood nails with a cracking pair of sky high black stilletos to complete the look
As I said before transforming into a witch when I was a kid was so exciting To have my mother make me up with her dark red lipstick completed with a spider drawn on my cheek with black eyeliner is one of my cherished moments from early childhood Now that Irsquom twenty if I were to become a classic witch I would be doing my own makeup -Creating a black smoky eye using dark greys with black around the outer cor-ner A black laced dress with laced tights creates the perfect witch silhouette and to top it off a tall black hat For your feet witches can magic up anything so why not a pair of beautiful laced up boots

FIVEFALLDECORATINGIDEAS
Fall was always a favorite time of year for my family even growing up in Florida I remember how colorful the house seemed when I would vis-it on a fall weekend in college Now that I am in a place of my own I hope to keep the fall decor tradition alive in my own place Below Ive composed a list of my five favorite DIY was to add a touch of fall to your own bachelorette pad
1 A WREATH- Nothing says Wel-come like a sweet wreath ready for fall While there a plenty of gor-geous options for purchase at stores like Home Goods
2 REPLACING DECOR- While my apartment definitely has a color scheme I love adding in holiday touches with things like dish towels picture frames and more While I dont really have the budget (or storage) to be stocking up on a ton of fall decor I did pick up a few plastic fall veggies like pumpkins and squash from my local Dol-lar Tree I spray painted the pieces white and silver which match the color scheme of my apartment a re-placed a bit of my decor with these items
This also works well for Halloween I grabbed a few skulls and cats and spray painted these to match my apartment as well
3 SCENTS- There a few things better than walking into a fabu-lously scented room While candles are great for evenings at home its important to keep the scent going
Personally I love the scent options from Bath and Body Works I use wallflowers 247 and candles when I am cooking relaxing in the eve-ning Some of their best fall scents include Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin Leaves Apple Ale Pumpkin Carv-ing and Bergamot Woods
4 TABLESCAPE- A fall tablescape can really go a long way in a small apartment I love mixing rustic masculine materials when creating my fall table setting--think plaids wood lanterns metallic etc I picked up quick a few great piec-es for this project at both Target and my local Dollar Tree Not sure where to start I definitely suggest heading over to Pinterest for some quick inspiration
5 FOOD- Lauren posted on LPF about a favorite fall food tradition she shares with Jocelyn when they enjoy spiced apple cider and donuts on the first night of fall I know they look forward to it every year just like I look forward to the first time its finally cool enough to make pumpkin bread
Take some time to enjoy a new recipe (it makes for a fun date) with seasonal favorites like pumpkin or fresh picked apples I am looking forward to trying this lightened-up Pumpkin Banana Bread from Food Love amp Life
Hopefully these tips help to make your place feel a bit more like home this season
Halloween is right around the corner It is that time of year that we have always loved since childhood Those were the times we spent getting dressed up going to scary parties and knocking on neighboursquos doors shouting ldquoTrick or Treatrdquo Now we love the idea of taking some of your existing wardrobe and transforming it into a styl-ish classic Halloween costume
What to wear is always the biggest challenge Lately the norm is to be as scandalous as you can with your halloween get-up but thatrsquos just not for everyone Another theme of outfits that seem to be all over the shelves nowadays is Halloween versions of Alice In Wonderland and Little Red Riding Hood but those can seem too sweet amp not spooky enoughWhen I was a little girl all I wanted to dress up as was a witch not a fairy tale or Disney character
Nevertheless with our busy student schedules and lack of money to throw away on just one fan-cy dress outfit why not buy clothes that you can dress up to suit one of the classic Halloween per-sonas this year This way you have a brand new outfit that can be worn more than once a year
The female version of the Devil is deemed to be sexy powerful and the ultimate lsquoLady in Redrsquo In-stead of buying a tacky PVC dress or the shortest red skirt imaginable go towards the more elegant look with a slinky red maxidress and red stilettos

Wear strong black liner with mascara and com-plete the look with blood red lips and nails You will feel sexy and sophisticated with this look and you will definitely turn heads in this outfit
Another classic is the vampire Historically (and if you have seen all the vampire films and television shows old and new) the female vam-pire is flawless beautiful and seductive For this night and every other without the fangs you can mirror the same image with a simple fitted LBD dark red lips dark eye makeup oxblood nails with a cracking pair of sky high black stilletos to complete the look
As I said before transforming into a witch when I was a kid was so exciting To have my mother make me up with her dark red lipstick completed with a spider drawn on my cheek with black eyeliner is one of my cherished moments from early childhood Now that Irsquom twenty if I were to become a classic witch I would be doing my own makeup -Creating a black smoky eye using dark greys with black around the outer cor-ner A black laced dress with laced tights creates the perfect witch silhouette and to top it off a tall black hat For your feet witches can magic up anything so why not a pair of beautiful laced up boots

Fall Decorating Ideas MEREDITH COTTON
FIVEFALLDECORATINGIDEAS
Fall was always a favorite time of year for my family even growing up in Florida I remember how colorful the house seemed when I would vis-it on a fall weekend in college Now that I am in a place of my own I hope to keep the fall decor tradition alive in my own place Below Ive composed a list of my five favorite DIY was to add a touch of fall to your own bachelorette pad
1 A WREATH- Nothing says Wel-come like a sweet wreath ready for fall While there a plenty of gor-geous options for purchase at stores like Home Goods
2 REPLACING DECOR- While my apartment definitely has a color scheme I love adding in holiday touches with things like dish towels picture frames and more While I dont really have the budget (or storage) to be stocking up on a ton of fall decor I did pick up a few plastic fall veggies like pumpkins and squash from my local Dol-lar Tree I spray painted the pieces white and silver which match the color scheme of my apartment a re-placed a bit of my decor with these items
This also works well for Halloween I grabbed a few skulls and cats and spray painted these to match my apartment as well
3 SCENTS- There a few things better than walking into a fabu-lously scented room While candles are great for evenings at home its important to keep the scent going
Personally I love the scent options from Bath and Body Works I use wallflowers 247 and candles when I am cooking relaxing in the eve-ning Some of their best fall scents include Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin Leaves Apple Ale Pumpkin Carv-ing and Bergamot Woods
4 TABLESCAPE- A fall tablescape can really go a long way in a small apartment I love mixing rustic masculine materials when creating my fall table setting--think plaids wood lanterns metallic etc I picked up quick a few great piec-es for this project at both Target and my local Dollar Tree Not sure where to start I definitely suggest heading over to Pinterest for some quick inspiration
5 FOOD- Lauren posted on LPF about a favorite fall food tradition she shares with Jocelyn when they enjoy spiced apple cider and donuts on the first night of fall I know they look forward to it every year just like I look forward to the first time its finally cool enough to make pumpkin bread
Take some time to enjoy a new recipe (it makes for a fun date) with seasonal favorites like pumpkin or fresh picked apples I am looking forward to trying this lightened-up Pumpkin Banana Bread from Food Love amp Life
Hopefully these tips help to make your place feel a bit more like home this season
Halloween is right around the corner It is that time of year that we have always loved since childhood Those were the times we spent getting dressed up going to scary parties and knocking on neighboursquos doors shouting ldquoTrick or Treatrdquo Now we love the idea of taking some of your existing wardrobe and transforming it into a styl-ish classic Halloween costume
What to wear is always the biggest challenge Lately the norm is to be as scandalous as you can with your halloween get-up but thatrsquos just not for everyone Another theme of outfits that seem to be all over the shelves nowadays is Halloween versions of Alice In Wonderland and Little Red Riding Hood but those can seem too sweet amp not spooky enoughWhen I was a little girl all I wanted to dress up as was a witch not a fairy tale or Disney character
Nevertheless with our busy student schedules and lack of money to throw away on just one fan-cy dress outfit why not buy clothes that you can dress up to suit one of the classic Halloween per-sonas this year This way you have a brand new outfit that can be worn more than once a year
The female version of the Devil is deemed to be sexy powerful and the ultimate lsquoLady in Redrsquo In-stead of buying a tacky PVC dress or the shortest red skirt imaginable go towards the more elegant look with a slinky red maxidress and red stilettos

Wear strong black liner with mascara and com-plete the look with blood red lips and nails You will feel sexy and sophisticated with this look and you will definitely turn heads in this outfit
Another classic is the vampire Historically (and if you have seen all the vampire films and television shows old and new) the female vam-pire is flawless beautiful and seductive For this night and every other without the fangs you can mirror the same image with a simple fitted LBD dark red lips dark eye makeup oxblood nails with a cracking pair of sky high black stilletos to complete the look
As I said before transforming into a witch when I was a kid was so exciting To have my mother make me up with her dark red lipstick completed with a spider drawn on my cheek with black eyeliner is one of my cherished moments from early childhood Now that Irsquom twenty if I were to become a classic witch I would be doing my own makeup -Creating a black smoky eye using dark greys with black around the outer cor-ner A black laced dress with laced tights creates the perfect witch silhouette and to top it off a tall black hat For your feet witches can magic up anything so why not a pair of beautiful laced up boots

Fall Decorating Ideas MEREDITH COTTON
FIVEFALLDECORATINGIDEAS
Fall was always a favorite time of year for my family even growing up in Florida I remember how colorful the house seemed when I would vis-it on a fall weekend in college Now that I am in a place of my own I hope to keep the fall decor tradition alive in my own place Below Ive composed a list of my five favorite DIY was to add a touch of fall to your own bachelorette pad
1 A WREATH- Nothing says Wel-come like a sweet wreath ready for fall While there a plenty of gor-geous options for purchase at stores like Home Goods
2 REPLACING DECOR- While my apartment definitely has a color scheme I love adding in holiday touches with things like dish towels picture frames and more While I dont really have the budget (or storage) to be stocking up on a ton of fall decor I did pick up a few plastic fall veggies like pumpkins and squash from my local Dol-lar Tree I spray painted the pieces white and silver which match the color scheme of my apartment a re-placed a bit of my decor with these items
This also works well for Halloween I grabbed a few skulls and cats and spray painted these to match my apartment as well
3 SCENTS- There a few things better than walking into a fabu-lously scented room While candles are great for evenings at home its important to keep the scent going
Personally I love the scent options from Bath and Body Works I use wallflowers 247 and candles when I am cooking relaxing in the eve-ning Some of their best fall scents include Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin Leaves Apple Ale Pumpkin Carv-ing and Bergamot Woods
4 TABLESCAPE- A fall tablescape can really go a long way in a small apartment I love mixing rustic masculine materials when creating my fall table setting--think plaids wood lanterns metallic etc I picked up quick a few great piec-es for this project at both Target and my local Dollar Tree Not sure where to start I definitely suggest heading over to Pinterest for some quick inspiration
5 FOOD- Lauren posted on LPF about a favorite fall food tradition she shares with Jocelyn when they enjoy spiced apple cider and donuts on the first night of fall I know they look forward to it every year just like I look forward to the first time its finally cool enough to make pumpkin bread
Take some time to enjoy a new recipe (it makes for a fun date) with seasonal favorites like pumpkin or fresh picked apples I am looking forward to trying this lightened-up Pumpkin Banana Bread from Food Love amp Life
Hopefully these tips help to make your place feel a bit more like home this season
Halloween is right around the corner It is that time of year that we have always loved since childhood Those were the times we spent getting dressed up going to scary parties and knocking on neighboursquos doors shouting ldquoTrick or Treatrdquo Now we love the idea of taking some of your existing wardrobe and transforming it into a styl-ish classic Halloween costume
What to wear is always the biggest challenge Lately the norm is to be as scandalous as you can with your halloween get-up but thatrsquos just not for everyone Another theme of outfits that seem to be all over the shelves nowadays is Halloween versions of Alice In Wonderland and Little Red Riding Hood but those can seem too sweet amp not spooky enoughWhen I was a little girl all I wanted to dress up as was a witch not a fairy tale or Disney character
Nevertheless with our busy student schedules and lack of money to throw away on just one fan-cy dress outfit why not buy clothes that you can dress up to suit one of the classic Halloween per-sonas this year This way you have a brand new outfit that can be worn more than once a year
The female version of the Devil is deemed to be sexy powerful and the ultimate lsquoLady in Redrsquo In-stead of buying a tacky PVC dress or the shortest red skirt imaginable go towards the more elegant look with a slinky red maxidress and red stilettos

Wear strong black liner with mascara and com-plete the look with blood red lips and nails You will feel sexy and sophisticated with this look and you will definitely turn heads in this outfit
Another classic is the vampire Historically (and if you have seen all the vampire films and television shows old and new) the female vam-pire is flawless beautiful and seductive For this night and every other without the fangs you can mirror the same image with a simple fitted LBD dark red lips dark eye makeup oxblood nails with a cracking pair of sky high black stilletos to complete the look
As I said before transforming into a witch when I was a kid was so exciting To have my mother make me up with her dark red lipstick completed with a spider drawn on my cheek with black eyeliner is one of my cherished moments from early childhood Now that Irsquom twenty if I were to become a classic witch I would be doing my own makeup -Creating a black smoky eye using dark greys with black around the outer cor-ner A black laced dress with laced tights creates the perfect witch silhouette and to top it off a tall black hat For your feet witches can magic up anything so why not a pair of beautiful laced up boots

Fall Decorating Ideas MEREDITH COTTON
FIVEFALLDECORATINGIDEAS
Fall was always a favorite time of year for my family even growing up in Florida I remember how colorful the house seemed when I would vis-it on a fall weekend in college Now that I am in a place of my own I hope to keep the fall decor tradition alive in my own place Below Ive composed a list of my five favorite DIY was to add a touch of fall to your own bachelorette pad
1 A WREATH- Nothing says Wel-come like a sweet wreath ready for fall While there a plenty of gor-geous options for purchase at stores like Home Goods
2 REPLACING DECOR- While my apartment definitely has a color scheme I love adding in holiday touches with things like dish towels picture frames and more While I dont really have the budget (or storage) to be stocking up on a ton of fall decor I did pick up a few plastic fall veggies like pumpkins and squash from my local Dol-lar Tree I spray painted the pieces white and silver which match the color scheme of my apartment a re-placed a bit of my decor with these items
This also works well for Halloween I grabbed a few skulls and cats and spray painted these to match my apartment as well
3 SCENTS- There a few things better than walking into a fabu-lously scented room While candles are great for evenings at home its important to keep the scent going
Personally I love the scent options from Bath and Body Works I use wallflowers 247 and candles when I am cooking relaxing in the eve-ning Some of their best fall scents include Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin Leaves Apple Ale Pumpkin Carv-ing and Bergamot Woods
4 TABLESCAPE- A fall tablescape can really go a long way in a small apartment I love mixing rustic masculine materials when creating my fall table setting--think plaids wood lanterns metallic etc I picked up quick a few great piec-es for this project at both Target and my local Dollar Tree Not sure where to start I definitely suggest heading over to Pinterest for some quick inspiration
5 FOOD- Lauren posted on LPF about a favorite fall food tradition she shares with Jocelyn when they enjoy spiced apple cider and donuts on the first night of fall I know they look forward to it every year just like I look forward to the first time its finally cool enough to make pumpkin bread
Take some time to enjoy a new recipe (it makes for a fun date) with seasonal favorites like pumpkin or fresh picked apples I am looking forward to trying this lightened-up Pumpkin Banana Bread from Food Love amp Life
Hopefully these tips help to make your place feel a bit more like home this season
Halloween is right around the corner It is that time of year that we have always loved since childhood Those were the times we spent getting dressed up going to scary parties and knocking on neighboursquos doors shouting ldquoTrick or Treatrdquo Now we love the idea of taking some of your existing wardrobe and transforming it into a styl-ish classic Halloween costume
What to wear is always the biggest challenge Lately the norm is to be as scandalous as you can with your halloween get-up but thatrsquos just not for everyone Another theme of outfits that seem to be all over the shelves nowadays is Halloween versions of Alice In Wonderland and Little Red Riding Hood but those can seem too sweet amp not spooky enoughWhen I was a little girl all I wanted to dress up as was a witch not a fairy tale or Disney character
Nevertheless with our busy student schedules and lack of money to throw away on just one fan-cy dress outfit why not buy clothes that you can dress up to suit one of the classic Halloween per-sonas this year This way you have a brand new outfit that can be worn more than once a year
The female version of the Devil is deemed to be sexy powerful and the ultimate lsquoLady in Redrsquo In-stead of buying a tacky PVC dress or the shortest red skirt imaginable go towards the more elegant look with a slinky red maxidress and red stilettos

DIY Halloween Costumes FAYE SMITH
Wear strong black liner with mascara and com-plete the look with blood red lips and nails You will feel sexy and sophisticated with this look and you will definitely turn heads in this outfit
Another classic is the vampire Historically (and if you have seen all the vampire films and television shows old and new) the female vam-pire is flawless beautiful and seductive For this night and every other without the fangs you can mirror the same image with a simple fitted LBD dark red lips dark eye makeup oxblood nails with a cracking pair of sky high black stilletos to complete the look
As I said before transforming into a witch when I was a kid was so exciting To have my mother make me up with her dark red lipstick completed with a spider drawn on my cheek with black eyeliner is one of my cherished moments from early childhood Now that Irsquom twenty if I were to become a classic witch I would be doing my own makeup -Creating a black smoky eye using dark greys with black around the outer cor-ner A black laced dress with laced tights creates the perfect witch silhouette and to top it off a tall black hat For your feet witches can magic up anything so why not a pair of beautiful laced up boots

Fall Decorating Ideas MEREDITH COTTON
FIVEFALLDECORATINGIDEAS
Fall was always a favorite time of year for my family even growing up in Florida I remember how colorful the house seemed when I would vis-it on a fall weekend in college Now that I am in a place of my own I hope to keep the fall decor tradition alive in my own place Below Ive composed a list of my five favorite DIY was to add a touch of fall to your own bachelorette pad
1 A WREATH- Nothing says Wel-come like a sweet wreath ready for fall While there a plenty of gor-geous options for purchase at stores like Home Goods
2 REPLACING DECOR- While my apartment definitely has a color scheme I love adding in holiday touches with things like dish towels picture frames and more While I dont really have the budget (or storage) to be stocking up on a ton of fall decor I did pick up a few plastic fall veggies like pumpkins and squash from my local Dol-lar Tree I spray painted the pieces white and silver which match the color scheme of my apartment a re-placed a bit of my decor with these items
This also works well for Halloween I grabbed a few skulls and cats and spray painted these to match my apartment as well
3 SCENTS- There a few things better than walking into a fabu-lously scented room While candles are great for evenings at home its important to keep the scent going
Personally I love the scent options from Bath and Body Works I use wallflowers 247 and candles when I am cooking relaxing in the eve-ning Some of their best fall scents include Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin Leaves Apple Ale Pumpkin Carv-ing and Bergamot Woods
4 TABLESCAPE- A fall tablescape can really go a long way in a small apartment I love mixing rustic masculine materials when creating my fall table setting--think plaids wood lanterns metallic etc I picked up quick a few great piec-es for this project at both Target and my local Dollar Tree Not sure where to start I definitely suggest heading over to Pinterest for some quick inspiration
5 FOOD- Lauren posted on LPF about a favorite fall food tradition she shares with Jocelyn when they enjoy spiced apple cider and donuts on the first night of fall I know they look forward to it every year just like I look forward to the first time its finally cool enough to make pumpkin bread
Take some time to enjoy a new recipe (it makes for a fun date) with seasonal favorites like pumpkin or fresh picked apples I am looking forward to trying this lightened-up Pumpkin Banana Bread from Food Love amp Life
Hopefully these tips help to make your place feel a bit more like home this season
Halloween is right around the corner It is that time of year that we have always loved since childhood Those were the times we spent getting dressed up going to scary parties and knocking on neighboursquos doors shouting ldquoTrick or Treatrdquo Now we love the idea of taking some of your existing wardrobe and transforming it into a styl-ish classic Halloween costume
What to wear is always the biggest challenge Lately the norm is to be as scandalous as you can with your halloween get-up but thatrsquos just not for everyone Another theme of outfits that seem to be all over the shelves nowadays is Halloween versions of Alice In Wonderland and Little Red Riding Hood but those can seem too sweet amp not spooky enoughWhen I was a little girl all I wanted to dress up as was a witch not a fairy tale or Disney character
Nevertheless with our busy student schedules and lack of money to throw away on just one fan-cy dress outfit why not buy clothes that you can dress up to suit one of the classic Halloween per-sonas this year This way you have a brand new outfit that can be worn more than once a year
The female version of the Devil is deemed to be sexy powerful and the ultimate lsquoLady in Redrsquo In-stead of buying a tacky PVC dress or the shortest red skirt imaginable go towards the more elegant look with a slinky red maxidress and red stilettos

Wear strong black liner with mascara and com-plete the look with blood red lips and nails You will feel sexy and sophisticated with this look and you will definitely turn heads in this outfit
Another classic is the vampire Historically (and if you have seen all the vampire films and television shows old and new) the female vam-pire is flawless beautiful and seductive For this night and every other without the fangs you can mirror the same image with a simple fitted LBD dark red lips dark eye makeup oxblood nails with a cracking pair of sky high black stilletos to complete the look
As I said before transforming into a witch when I was a kid was so exciting To have my mother make me up with her dark red lipstick completed with a spider drawn on my cheek with black eyeliner is one of my cherished moments from early childhood Now that Irsquom twenty if I were to become a classic witch I would be doing my own makeup -Creating a black smoky eye using dark greys with black around the outer cor-ner A black laced dress with laced tights creates the perfect witch silhouette and to top it off a tall black hat For your feet witches can magic up anything so why not a pair of beautiful laced up boots

FIVEFALLDECORATINGIDEAS
Fall was always a favorite time of year for my family even growing up in Florida I remember how colorful the house seemed when I would vis-it on a fall weekend in college Now that I am in a place of my own I hope to keep the fall decor tradition alive in my own place Below Ive composed a list of my five favorite DIY was to add a touch of fall to your own bachelorette pad
1 A WREATH- Nothing says Wel-come like a sweet wreath ready for fall While there a plenty of gor-geous options for purchase at stores like Home Goods
2 REPLACING DECOR- While my apartment definitely has a color scheme I love adding in holiday touches with things like dish towels picture frames and more While I dont really have the budget (or storage) to be stocking up on a ton of fall decor I did pick up a few plastic fall veggies like pumpkins and squash from my local Dol-lar Tree I spray painted the pieces white and silver which match the color scheme of my apartment a re-placed a bit of my decor with these items
This also works well for Halloween I grabbed a few skulls and cats and spray painted these to match my apartment as well
3 SCENTS- There a few things better than walking into a fabu-lously scented room While candles are great for evenings at home its important to keep the scent going
Personally I love the scent options from Bath and Body Works I use wallflowers 247 and candles when I am cooking relaxing in the eve-ning Some of their best fall scents include Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin Leaves Apple Ale Pumpkin Carv-ing and Bergamot Woods
4 TABLESCAPE- A fall tablescape can really go a long way in a small apartment I love mixing rustic masculine materials when creating my fall table setting--think plaids wood lanterns metallic etc I picked up quick a few great piec-es for this project at both Target and my local Dollar Tree Not sure where to start I definitely suggest heading over to Pinterest for some quick inspiration
5 FOOD- Lauren posted on LPF about a favorite fall food tradition she shares with Jocelyn when they enjoy spiced apple cider and donuts on the first night of fall I know they look forward to it every year just like I look forward to the first time its finally cool enough to make pumpkin bread
Take some time to enjoy a new recipe (it makes for a fun date) with seasonal favorites like pumpkin or fresh picked apples I am looking forward to trying this lightened-up Pumpkin Banana Bread from Food Love amp Life
Hopefully these tips help to make your place feel a bit more like home this season
Halloween is right around the corner It is that time of year that we have always loved since childhood Those were the times we spent getting dressed up going to scary parties and knocking on neighboursquos doors shouting ldquoTrick or Treatrdquo Now we love the idea of taking some of your existing wardrobe and transforming it into a styl-ish classic Halloween costume
What to wear is always the biggest challenge Lately the norm is to be as scandalous as you can with your halloween get-up but thatrsquos just not for everyone Another theme of outfits that seem to be all over the shelves nowadays is Halloween versions of Alice In Wonderland and Little Red Riding Hood but those can seem too sweet amp not spooky enoughWhen I was a little girl all I wanted to dress up as was a witch not a fairy tale or Disney character
Nevertheless with our busy student schedules and lack of money to throw away on just one fan-cy dress outfit why not buy clothes that you can dress up to suit one of the classic Halloween per-sonas this year This way you have a brand new outfit that can be worn more than once a year
The female version of the Devil is deemed to be sexy powerful and the ultimate lsquoLady in Redrsquo In-stead of buying a tacky PVC dress or the shortest red skirt imaginable go towards the more elegant look with a slinky red maxidress and red stilettos

Wear strong black liner with mascara and com-plete the look with blood red lips and nails You will feel sexy and sophisticated with this look and you will definitely turn heads in this outfit
Another classic is the vampire Historically (and if you have seen all the vampire films and television shows old and new) the female vam-pire is flawless beautiful and seductive For this night and every other without the fangs you can mirror the same image with a simple fitted LBD dark red lips dark eye makeup oxblood nails with a cracking pair of sky high black stilletos to complete the look
As I said before transforming into a witch when I was a kid was so exciting To have my mother make me up with her dark red lipstick completed with a spider drawn on my cheek with black eyeliner is one of my cherished moments from early childhood Now that Irsquom twenty if I were to become a classic witch I would be doing my own makeup -Creating a black smoky eye using dark greys with black around the outer cor-ner A black laced dress with laced tights creates the perfect witch silhouette and to top it off a tall black hat For your feet witches can magic up anything so why not a pair of beautiful laced up boots

FIVEFALLDECORATINGIDEAS
Fall was always a favorite time of year for my family even growing up in Florida I remember how colorful the house seemed when I would vis-it on a fall weekend in college Now that I am in a place of my own I hope to keep the fall decor tradition alive in my own place Below Ive composed a list of my five favorite DIY was to add a touch of fall to your own bachelorette pad
1 A WREATH- Nothing says Wel-come like a sweet wreath ready for fall While there a plenty of gor-geous options for purchase at stores like Home Goods
2 REPLACING DECOR- While my apartment definitely has a color scheme I love adding in holiday touches with things like dish towels picture frames and more While I dont really have the budget (or storage) to be stocking up on a ton of fall decor I did pick up a few plastic fall veggies like pumpkins and squash from my local Dol-lar Tree I spray painted the pieces white and silver which match the color scheme of my apartment a re-placed a bit of my decor with these items
This also works well for Halloween I grabbed a few skulls and cats and spray painted these to match my apartment as well
3 SCENTS- There a few things better than walking into a fabu-lously scented room While candles are great for evenings at home its important to keep the scent going
Personally I love the scent options from Bath and Body Works I use wallflowers 247 and candles when I am cooking relaxing in the eve-ning Some of their best fall scents include Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin Leaves Apple Ale Pumpkin Carv-ing and Bergamot Woods
4 TABLESCAPE- A fall tablescape can really go a long way in a small apartment I love mixing rustic masculine materials when creating my fall table setting--think plaids wood lanterns metallic etc I picked up quick a few great piec-es for this project at both Target and my local Dollar Tree Not sure where to start I definitely suggest heading over to Pinterest for some quick inspiration
5 FOOD- Lauren posted on LPF about a favorite fall food tradition she shares with Jocelyn when they enjoy spiced apple cider and donuts on the first night of fall I know they look forward to it every year just like I look forward to the first time its finally cool enough to make pumpkin bread
Take some time to enjoy a new recipe (it makes for a fun date) with seasonal favorites like pumpkin or fresh picked apples I am looking forward to trying this lightened-up Pumpkin Banana Bread from Food Love amp Life
Hopefully these tips help to make your place feel a bit more like home this season
Halloween is right around the corner It is that time of year that we have always loved since childhood Those were the times we spent getting dressed up going to scary parties and knocking on neighboursquos doors shouting ldquoTrick or Treatrdquo Now we love the idea of taking some of your existing wardrobe and transforming it into a styl-ish classic Halloween costume
What to wear is always the biggest challenge Lately the norm is to be as scandalous as you can with your halloween get-up but thatrsquos just not for everyone Another theme of outfits that seem to be all over the shelves nowadays is Halloween versions of Alice In Wonderland and Little Red Riding Hood but those can seem too sweet amp not spooky enoughWhen I was a little girl all I wanted to dress up as was a witch not a fairy tale or Disney character
Nevertheless with our busy student schedules and lack of money to throw away on just one fan-cy dress outfit why not buy clothes that you can dress up to suit one of the classic Halloween per-sonas this year This way you have a brand new outfit that can be worn more than once a year
The female version of the Devil is deemed to be sexy powerful and the ultimate lsquoLady in Redrsquo In-stead of buying a tacky PVC dress or the shortest red skirt imaginable go towards the more elegant look with a slinky red maxidress and red stilettos

DIY Halloween Costumes FAYE SMITH
Wear strong black liner with mascara and com-plete the look with blood red lips and nails You will feel sexy and sophisticated with this look and you will definitely turn heads in this outfit
Another classic is the vampire Historically (and if you have seen all the vampire films and television shows old and new) the female vam-pire is flawless beautiful and seductive For this night and every other without the fangs you can mirror the same image with a simple fitted LBD dark red lips dark eye makeup oxblood nails with a cracking pair of sky high black stilletos to complete the look
As I said before transforming into a witch when I was a kid was so exciting To have my mother make me up with her dark red lipstick completed with a spider drawn on my cheek with black eyeliner is one of my cherished moments from early childhood Now that Irsquom twenty if I were to become a classic witch I would be doing my own makeup -Creating a black smoky eye using dark greys with black around the outer cor-ner A black laced dress with laced tights creates the perfect witch silhouette and to top it off a tall black hat For your feet witches can magic up anything so why not a pair of beautiful laced up boots

FIVEFALLDECORATINGIDEAS
Fall was always a favorite time of year for my family even growing up in Florida I remember how colorful the house seemed when I would vis-it on a fall weekend in college Now that I am in a place of my own I hope to keep the fall decor tradition alive in my own place Below Ive composed a list of my five favorite DIY was to add a touch of fall to your own bachelorette pad
1 A WREATH- Nothing says Wel-come like a sweet wreath ready for fall While there a plenty of gor-geous options for purchase at stores like Home Goods
2 REPLACING DECOR- While my apartment definitely has a color scheme I love adding in holiday touches with things like dish towels picture frames and more While I dont really have the budget (or storage) to be stocking up on a ton of fall decor I did pick up a few plastic fall veggies like pumpkins and squash from my local Dol-lar Tree I spray painted the pieces white and silver which match the color scheme of my apartment a re-placed a bit of my decor with these items
This also works well for Halloween I grabbed a few skulls and cats and spray painted these to match my apartment as well
3 SCENTS- There a few things better than walking into a fabu-lously scented room While candles are great for evenings at home its important to keep the scent going
Personally I love the scent options from Bath and Body Works I use wallflowers 247 and candles when I am cooking relaxing in the eve-ning Some of their best fall scents include Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin Leaves Apple Ale Pumpkin Carv-ing and Bergamot Woods
4 TABLESCAPE- A fall tablescape can really go a long way in a small apartment I love mixing rustic masculine materials when creating my fall table setting--think plaids wood lanterns metallic etc I picked up quick a few great piec-es for this project at both Target and my local Dollar Tree Not sure where to start I definitely suggest heading over to Pinterest for some quick inspiration
5 FOOD- Lauren posted on LPF about a favorite fall food tradition she shares with Jocelyn when they enjoy spiced apple cider and donuts on the first night of fall I know they look forward to it every year just like I look forward to the first time its finally cool enough to make pumpkin bread
Take some time to enjoy a new recipe (it makes for a fun date) with seasonal favorites like pumpkin or fresh picked apples I am looking forward to trying this lightened-up Pumpkin Banana Bread from Food Love amp Life
Hopefully these tips help to make your place feel a bit more like home this season
Halloween is right around the corner It is that time of year that we have always loved since childhood Those were the times we spent getting dressed up going to scary parties and knocking on neighboursquos doors shouting ldquoTrick or Treatrdquo Now we love the idea of taking some of your existing wardrobe and transforming it into a styl-ish classic Halloween costume
What to wear is always the biggest challenge Lately the norm is to be as scandalous as you can with your halloween get-up but thatrsquos just not for everyone Another theme of outfits that seem to be all over the shelves nowadays is Halloween versions of Alice In Wonderland and Little Red Riding Hood but those can seem too sweet amp not spooky enoughWhen I was a little girl all I wanted to dress up as was a witch not a fairy tale or Disney character
Nevertheless with our busy student schedules and lack of money to throw away on just one fan-cy dress outfit why not buy clothes that you can dress up to suit one of the classic Halloween per-sonas this year This way you have a brand new outfit that can be worn more than once a year
The female version of the Devil is deemed to be sexy powerful and the ultimate lsquoLady in Redrsquo In-stead of buying a tacky PVC dress or the shortest red skirt imaginable go towards the more elegant look with a slinky red maxidress and red stilettos

DIY Halloween Costumes FAYE SMITH
Wear strong black liner with mascara and com-plete the look with blood red lips and nails You will feel sexy and sophisticated with this look and you will definitely turn heads in this outfit
Another classic is the vampire Historically (and if you have seen all the vampire films and television shows old and new) the female vam-pire is flawless beautiful and seductive For this night and every other without the fangs you can mirror the same image with a simple fitted LBD dark red lips dark eye makeup oxblood nails with a cracking pair of sky high black stilletos to complete the look
As I said before transforming into a witch when I was a kid was so exciting To have my mother make me up with her dark red lipstick completed with a spider drawn on my cheek with black eyeliner is one of my cherished moments from early childhood Now that Irsquom twenty if I were to become a classic witch I would be doing my own makeup -Creating a black smoky eye using dark greys with black around the outer cor-ner A black laced dress with laced tights creates the perfect witch silhouette and to top it off a tall black hat For your feet witches can magic up anything so why not a pair of beautiful laced up boots

FIVEFALLDECORATINGIDEAS
Fall was always a favorite time of year for my family even growing up in Florida I remember how colorful the house seemed when I would vis-it on a fall weekend in college Now that I am in a place of my own I hope to keep the fall decor tradition alive in my own place Below Ive composed a list of my five favorite DIY was to add a touch of fall to your own bachelorette pad
1 A WREATH- Nothing says Wel-come like a sweet wreath ready for fall While there a plenty of gor-geous options for purchase at stores like Home Goods
2 REPLACING DECOR- While my apartment definitely has a color scheme I love adding in holiday touches with things like dish towels picture frames and more While I dont really have the budget (or storage) to be stocking up on a ton of fall decor I did pick up a few plastic fall veggies like pumpkins and squash from my local Dol-lar Tree I spray painted the pieces white and silver which match the color scheme of my apartment a re-placed a bit of my decor with these items
This also works well for Halloween I grabbed a few skulls and cats and spray painted these to match my apartment as well
3 SCENTS- There a few things better than walking into a fabu-lously scented room While candles are great for evenings at home its important to keep the scent going
Personally I love the scent options from Bath and Body Works I use wallflowers 247 and candles when I am cooking relaxing in the eve-ning Some of their best fall scents include Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin Leaves Apple Ale Pumpkin Carv-ing and Bergamot Woods
4 TABLESCAPE- A fall tablescape can really go a long way in a small apartment I love mixing rustic masculine materials when creating my fall table setting--think plaids wood lanterns metallic etc I picked up quick a few great piec-es for this project at both Target and my local Dollar Tree Not sure where to start I definitely suggest heading over to Pinterest for some quick inspiration
5 FOOD- Lauren posted on LPF about a favorite fall food tradition she shares with Jocelyn when they enjoy spiced apple cider and donuts on the first night of fall I know they look forward to it every year just like I look forward to the first time its finally cool enough to make pumpkin bread
Take some time to enjoy a new recipe (it makes for a fun date) with seasonal favorites like pumpkin or fresh picked apples I am looking forward to trying this lightened-up Pumpkin Banana Bread from Food Love amp Life
Hopefully these tips help to make your place feel a bit more like home this season
Halloween is right around the corner It is that time of year that we have always loved since childhood Those were the times we spent getting dressed up going to scary parties and knocking on neighboursquos doors shouting ldquoTrick or Treatrdquo Now we love the idea of taking some of your existing wardrobe and transforming it into a styl-ish classic Halloween costume
What to wear is always the biggest challenge Lately the norm is to be as scandalous as you can with your halloween get-up but thatrsquos just not for everyone Another theme of outfits that seem to be all over the shelves nowadays is Halloween versions of Alice In Wonderland and Little Red Riding Hood but those can seem too sweet amp not spooky enoughWhen I was a little girl all I wanted to dress up as was a witch not a fairy tale or Disney character
Nevertheless with our busy student schedules and lack of money to throw away on just one fan-cy dress outfit why not buy clothes that you can dress up to suit one of the classic Halloween per-sonas this year This way you have a brand new outfit that can be worn more than once a year
The female version of the Devil is deemed to be sexy powerful and the ultimate lsquoLady in Redrsquo In-stead of buying a tacky PVC dress or the shortest red skirt imaginable go towards the more elegant look with a slinky red maxidress and red stilettos

DIY Halloween Costumes FAYE SMITH
Wear strong black liner with mascara and com-plete the look with blood red lips and nails You will feel sexy and sophisticated with this look and you will definitely turn heads in this outfit
Another classic is the vampire Historically (and if you have seen all the vampire films and television shows old and new) the female vam-pire is flawless beautiful and seductive For this night and every other without the fangs you can mirror the same image with a simple fitted LBD dark red lips dark eye makeup oxblood nails with a cracking pair of sky high black stilletos to complete the look
As I said before transforming into a witch when I was a kid was so exciting To have my mother make me up with her dark red lipstick completed with a spider drawn on my cheek with black eyeliner is one of my cherished moments from early childhood Now that Irsquom twenty if I were to become a classic witch I would be doing my own makeup -Creating a black smoky eye using dark greys with black around the outer cor-ner A black laced dress with laced tights creates the perfect witch silhouette and to top it off a tall black hat For your feet witches can magic up anything so why not a pair of beautiful laced up boots

Fall was always a favorite time of year for my family even growing up in Florida I remember how colorful the house seemed when I would vis-it on a fall weekend in college Now that I am in a place of my own I hope to keep the fall decor tradition alive in my own place Below Ive composed a list of my five favorite DIY was to add a touch of fall to your own bachelorette pad
1 A WREATH- Nothing says Wel-come like a sweet wreath ready for fall While there a plenty of gor-geous options for purchase at stores like Home Goods
2 REPLACING DECOR- While my apartment definitely has a color scheme I love adding in holiday touches with things like dish towels picture frames and more While I dont really have the budget (or storage) to be stocking up on a ton of fall decor I did pick up a few plastic fall veggies like pumpkins and squash from my local Dol-lar Tree I spray painted the pieces white and silver which match the color scheme of my apartment a re-placed a bit of my decor with these items
This also works well for Halloween I grabbed a few skulls and cats and spray painted these to match my apartment as well
3 SCENTS- There a few things better than walking into a fabu-lously scented room While candles are great for evenings at home its important to keep the scent going
Personally I love the scent options from Bath and Body Works I use wallflowers 247 and candles when I am cooking relaxing in the eve-ning Some of their best fall scents include Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin Leaves Apple Ale Pumpkin Carv-ing and Bergamot Woods
4 TABLESCAPE- A fall tablescape can really go a long way in a small apartment I love mixing rustic masculine materials when creating my fall table setting--think plaids wood lanterns metallic etc I picked up quick a few great piec-es for this project at both Target and my local Dollar Tree Not sure where to start I definitely suggest heading over to Pinterest for some quick inspiration
5 FOOD- Lauren posted on LPF about a favorite fall food tradition she shares with Jocelyn when they enjoy spiced apple cider and donuts on the first night of fall I know they look forward to it every year just like I look forward to the first time its finally cool enough to make pumpkin bread
Take some time to enjoy a new recipe (it makes for a fun date) with seasonal favorites like pumpkin or fresh picked apples I am looking forward to trying this lightened-up Pumpkin Banana Bread from Food Love amp Life
Hopefully these tips help to make your place feel a bit more like home this season
Halloween is right around the corner It is that time of year that we have always loved since childhood Those were the times we spent getting dressed up going to scary parties and knocking on neighboursquos doors shouting ldquoTrick or Treatrdquo Now we love the idea of taking some of your existing wardrobe and transforming it into a styl-ish classic Halloween costume
What to wear is always the biggest challenge Lately the norm is to be as scandalous as you can with your halloween get-up but thatrsquos just not for everyone Another theme of outfits that seem to be all over the shelves nowadays is Halloween versions of Alice In Wonderland and Little Red Riding Hood but those can seem too sweet amp not spooky enoughWhen I was a little girl all I wanted to dress up as was a witch not a fairy tale or Disney character
Nevertheless with our busy student schedules and lack of money to throw away on just one fan-cy dress outfit why not buy clothes that you can dress up to suit one of the classic Halloween per-sonas this year This way you have a brand new outfit that can be worn more than once a year
The female version of the Devil is deemed to be sexy powerful and the ultimate lsquoLady in Redrsquo In-stead of buying a tacky PVC dress or the shortest red skirt imaginable go towards the more elegant look with a slinky red maxidress and red stilettos

Wear strong black liner with mascara and com-plete the look with blood red lips and nails You will feel sexy and sophisticated with this look and you will definitely turn heads in this outfit
Another classic is the vampire Historically (and if you have seen all the vampire films and television shows old and new) the female vam-pire is flawless beautiful and seductive For this night and every other without the fangs you can mirror the same image with a simple fitted LBD dark red lips dark eye makeup oxblood nails with a cracking pair of sky high black stilletos to complete the look
As I said before transforming into a witch when I was a kid was so exciting To have my mother make me up with her dark red lipstick completed with a spider drawn on my cheek with black eyeliner is one of my cherished moments from early childhood Now that Irsquom twenty if I were to become a classic witch I would be doing my own makeup -Creating a black smoky eye using dark greys with black around the outer cor-ner A black laced dress with laced tights creates the perfect witch silhouette and to top it off a tall black hat For your feet witches can magic up anything so why not a pair of beautiful laced up boots

FIVEFALLDECORATINGIDEAS
Fall was always a favorite time of year for my family even growing up in Florida I remember how colorful the house seemed when I would vis-it on a fall weekend in college Now that I am in a place of my own I hope to keep the fall decor tradition alive in my own place Below Ive composed a list of my five favorite DIY was to add a touch of fall to your own bachelorette pad
1 A WREATH- Nothing says Wel-come like a sweet wreath ready for fall While there a plenty of gor-geous options for purchase at stores like Home Goods
2 REPLACING DECOR- While my apartment definitely has a color scheme I love adding in holiday touches with things like dish towels picture frames and more While I dont really have the budget (or storage) to be stocking up on a ton of fall decor I did pick up a few plastic fall veggies like pumpkins and squash from my local Dol-lar Tree I spray painted the pieces white and silver which match the color scheme of my apartment a re-placed a bit of my decor with these items
This also works well for Halloween I grabbed a few skulls and cats and spray painted these to match my apartment as well
3 SCENTS- There a few things better than walking into a fabu-lously scented room While candles are great for evenings at home its important to keep the scent going
Personally I love the scent options from Bath and Body Works I use wallflowers 247 and candles when I am cooking relaxing in the eve-ning Some of their best fall scents include Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin Leaves Apple Ale Pumpkin Carv-ing and Bergamot Woods
4 TABLESCAPE- A fall tablescape can really go a long way in a small apartment I love mixing rustic masculine materials when creating my fall table setting--think plaids wood lanterns metallic etc I picked up quick a few great piec-es for this project at both Target and my local Dollar Tree Not sure where to start I definitely suggest heading over to Pinterest for some quick inspiration
5 FOOD- Lauren posted on LPF about a favorite fall food tradition she shares with Jocelyn when they enjoy spiced apple cider and donuts on the first night of fall I know they look forward to it every year just like I look forward to the first time its finally cool enough to make pumpkin bread
Take some time to enjoy a new recipe (it makes for a fun date) with seasonal favorites like pumpkin or fresh picked apples I am looking forward to trying this lightened-up Pumpkin Banana Bread from Food Love amp Life
Hopefully these tips help to make your place feel a bit more like home this season
Halloween is right around the corner It is that time of year that we have always loved since childhood Those were the times we spent getting dressed up going to scary parties and knocking on neighboursquos doors shouting ldquoTrick or Treatrdquo Now we love the idea of taking some of your existing wardrobe and transforming it into a styl-ish classic Halloween costume
What to wear is always the biggest challenge Lately the norm is to be as scandalous as you can with your halloween get-up but thatrsquos just not for everyone Another theme of outfits that seem to be all over the shelves nowadays is Halloween versions of Alice In Wonderland and Little Red Riding Hood but those can seem too sweet amp not spooky enoughWhen I was a little girl all I wanted to dress up as was a witch not a fairy tale or Disney character
Nevertheless with our busy student schedules and lack of money to throw away on just one fan-cy dress outfit why not buy clothes that you can dress up to suit one of the classic Halloween per-sonas this year This way you have a brand new outfit that can be worn more than once a year
The female version of the Devil is deemed to be sexy powerful and the ultimate lsquoLady in Redrsquo In-stead of buying a tacky PVC dress or the shortest red skirt imaginable go towards the more elegant look with a slinky red maxidress and red stilettos

Wear strong black liner with mascara and com-plete the look with blood red lips and nails You will feel sexy and sophisticated with this look and you will definitely turn heads in this outfit
Another classic is the vampire Historically (and if you have seen all the vampire films and television shows old and new) the female vam-pire is flawless beautiful and seductive For this night and every other without the fangs you can mirror the same image with a simple fitted LBD dark red lips dark eye makeup oxblood nails with a cracking pair of sky high black stilletos to complete the look
As I said before transforming into a witch when I was a kid was so exciting To have my mother make me up with her dark red lipstick completed with a spider drawn on my cheek with black eyeliner is one of my cherished moments from early childhood Now that Irsquom twenty if I were to become a classic witch I would be doing my own makeup -Creating a black smoky eye using dark greys with black around the outer cor-ner A black laced dress with laced tights creates the perfect witch silhouette and to top it off a tall black hat For your feet witches can magic up anything so why not a pair of beautiful laced up boots

FIVEFALLDECORATINGIDEAS
Fall was always a favorite time of year for my family even growing up in Florida I remember how colorful the house seemed when I would vis-it on a fall weekend in college Now that I am in a place of my own I hope to keep the fall decor tradition alive in my own place Below Ive composed a list of my five favorite DIY was to add a touch of fall to your own bachelorette pad
1 A WREATH- Nothing says Wel-come like a sweet wreath ready for fall While there a plenty of gor-geous options for purchase at stores like Home Goods
2 REPLACING DECOR- While my apartment definitely has a color scheme I love adding in holiday touches with things like dish towels picture frames and more While I dont really have the budget (or storage) to be stocking up on a ton of fall decor I did pick up a few plastic fall veggies like pumpkins and squash from my local Dol-lar Tree I spray painted the pieces white and silver which match the color scheme of my apartment a re-placed a bit of my decor with these items
This also works well for Halloween I grabbed a few skulls and cats and spray painted these to match my apartment as well
3 SCENTS- There a few things better than walking into a fabu-lously scented room While candles are great for evenings at home its important to keep the scent going
Personally I love the scent options from Bath and Body Works I use wallflowers 247 and candles when I am cooking relaxing in the eve-ning Some of their best fall scents include Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin Leaves Apple Ale Pumpkin Carv-ing and Bergamot Woods
4 TABLESCAPE- A fall tablescape can really go a long way in a small apartment I love mixing rustic masculine materials when creating my fall table setting--think plaids wood lanterns metallic etc I picked up quick a few great piec-es for this project at both Target and my local Dollar Tree Not sure where to start I definitely suggest heading over to Pinterest for some quick inspiration
5 FOOD- Lauren posted on LPF about a favorite fall food tradition she shares with Jocelyn when they enjoy spiced apple cider and donuts on the first night of fall I know they look forward to it every year just like I look forward to the first time its finally cool enough to make pumpkin bread
Take some time to enjoy a new recipe (it makes for a fun date) with seasonal favorites like pumpkin or fresh picked apples I am looking forward to trying this lightened-up Pumpkin Banana Bread from Food Love amp Life
Hopefully these tips help to make your place feel a bit more like home this season
Halloween is right around the corner It is that time of year that we have always loved since childhood Those were the times we spent getting dressed up going to scary parties and knocking on neighboursquos doors shouting ldquoTrick or Treatrdquo Now we love the idea of taking some of your existing wardrobe and transforming it into a styl-ish classic Halloween costume
What to wear is always the biggest challenge Lately the norm is to be as scandalous as you can with your halloween get-up but thatrsquos just not for everyone Another theme of outfits that seem to be all over the shelves nowadays is Halloween versions of Alice In Wonderland and Little Red Riding Hood but those can seem too sweet amp not spooky enoughWhen I was a little girl all I wanted to dress up as was a witch not a fairy tale or Disney character
Nevertheless with our busy student schedules and lack of money to throw away on just one fan-cy dress outfit why not buy clothes that you can dress up to suit one of the classic Halloween per-sonas this year This way you have a brand new outfit that can be worn more than once a year
The female version of the Devil is deemed to be sexy powerful and the ultimate lsquoLady in Redrsquo In-stead of buying a tacky PVC dress or the shortest red skirt imaginable go towards the more elegant look with a slinky red maxidress and red stilettos

Wear strong black liner with mascara and com-plete the look with blood red lips and nails You will feel sexy and sophisticated with this look and you will definitely turn heads in this outfit
Another classic is the vampire Historically (and if you have seen all the vampire films and television shows old and new) the female vam-pire is flawless beautiful and seductive For this night and every other without the fangs you can mirror the same image with a simple fitted LBD dark red lips dark eye makeup oxblood nails with a cracking pair of sky high black stilletos to complete the look
As I said before transforming into a witch when I was a kid was so exciting To have my mother make me up with her dark red lipstick completed with a spider drawn on my cheek with black eyeliner is one of my cherished moments from early childhood Now that Irsquom twenty if I were to become a classic witch I would be doing my own makeup -Creating a black smoky eye using dark greys with black around the outer cor-ner A black laced dress with laced tights creates the perfect witch silhouette and to top it off a tall black hat For your feet witches can magic up anything so why not a pair of beautiful laced up boots
