In Wes Anderson’s film, The Royal Tenenbaums, Gwyneth Paltrow plays Margot Tenenbaum, an adopted literary genius, who’s in love with her brother, never smiles, smokes like a chimney, and has an overall lack of care for life. She is my favorite character Gwyneth Paltrow has ever played, and she’s one of the easiest last minute …
Looking for the perfect Betty Draper dress can be daunting but it’s the most fun part about dressing up! I realized this a few years ago when the husband and I went as Don & Betty Draper for Halloween. So I thought I’d enjoy it again by doing the “grunt work” and finding all the …
To me, dressing up is more fun than well, not. So I started this Disney character series {Cinderella was my first} with the excuse that Halloween is just around the corner, but really, I’m having so much fun, I may just keep going after the fact. I guess we’ll just wait and see. But like …

It’s true I’ve been dressing up as Disney characters since I was an infant due to my mom’s deep admiration of the “Mouse”, but before they were labeled “princesses” I wanted to be every one of Disney’s leading ladies, and of them all, Cinderella was my favorite. I guess I just have a soft spot …
We have a really fun neighborhood full of great people and tons of kiddos, who happen to remember that we always give out full-sized candy bars on Halloween AND we let them choose whatever they want. This year was no different really, except for the addition of Miss Delilah George, who was meant to go …

MAC “Such Flare!” matte A61 lipstick {which ended up on my forehead at one point during the night… the reason I rarely wear red lips!} The husband and I had a blast dressing up as Don and Betty Draper for our Halloween party on Saturday night… so much fun we may just dress up again …
