I'm such a kid when it comes to holidays, especially those that involve tricking out my apartment with kitcshy decor and wearing a ridiculous get-up. Thus, Halloween holds a special place in my heart.

I've been holding out on putting up all the boo-tastic finery until October rolled around, but seeing as how it is now October 5th....well...let's get this party started, shall we?

Because I am eons more mature and refined than I used to be (righttttt.....), I've been trying to find more stylish, toned-down Halloween decor. Less Adams Family, more Martha-Stewart-gone-Goth. I call it Spooky Chic.

Catchy, no?

Now you just can't do All Hallow's Eve without some devilishly sexy make-up. But you also don't want to look like Elvira's twin sister...it can be a tricky balance. Let's try...

1) Loose Khol Dust from Top Shop in Black; 2) Givenchy Vernis Please! Nail Laquer; 3) Mac Venomous Villains Mineralize Eye Shadow Duo; 4) Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner in Black by Bobbi Brown; 5) Lipgloss in Gloom from Topshop

It's macabre but still office-appropriate. Because I know y'all have all been losing sleep over how you're going to craft a Halloween-inspired make-up look that won't get HR all worked up...

Be blessed, lovelies-
