Halloween for Grown-Ups

Halloween has always been one of my favorite fun holidays. When I was little, I used to plan my costume months in advance, making sure every detail was perfect, every stitch where it should be. My mom and my grandma were my seamstresses/costume masters and together, the three of us would make ghoolish magic.

What can I say? Even as a kiddo, I loved a dramatic costume change : )

Since it's frowned upon for a 26 year old woman to go trick or treating, I've resolved to figure out less juvenile ways of adding little All Hallow's Eve spice to my life this time of year. I love pulling Halloween colors and Gothic-inspired fabrics like lace into my everyday look, as well as sporting smoky eye make-up and slightly darker shades of lip gloss as ways to celebrate the holiday while still looking like an adult.

Planet Blue has some ah-mazing Gothic-inspired pieces that are so chic, you won't be able to handle yourself!

Make-up is another superb way to add Halloween-inspired flair to your everyday look. Though false eyelashes might be a bit much for the office, you could totally sport some on a fun date night with your man. He won't be able to keep his hands off ya...pinky swear : )

So tell me, Blonde Ambitioners. What do you do around Halloween to spice up your look?
