All Hallow's Eve

Happy Halloween friends! Bambi is going to dress up as a 5 star general. Authentic looking costume, right?  :) I ended up being a cat this weekend (that was pre-whiskers) which is what I have been probably 10 out of my 25 Halloweens. I say this every year, but I really am going to prepare ahead of time and be something original next time. We're planning on spending the evening watching scary movies and waiting to see if any trick or treaters pay us a visit. What are your halloween plans? Hope it's a good one!

Face First

I'm kinda obsessed with this photo of Barbara Palvin. And that puppy is pretty cute, too.
