In all of the packing and unpacking that’s been going on, I almost managed to forget that Halloween was nearly upon us! It’s definitely a favorite time of year, not just for the fact that we can all get a bit creative and let out our inner ghouls and goblins, but for the simple fact that candy is aplenty…
So I decided to put together more of a Halloween-themed Lust List this month. Need some last minute costume ideas? Have a penchant for some sinister decorations? Or simply want to stay in keeping with the ghoulish theme of the month? Then read on…
To Decorate the Haunted Mansion
These wall decals definitely bring back memories of Hitchcock’s The Birds….

I’ve always loved old vintage perfume bottles. Maybe this time of year I could use this one to conceal a love potion….

This will be our first major holiday in our new (temporary) home. We’re on the hunt for a permanent house, but have settled into the cutest short-term rental for the time being. Trick or Treating isn’t a really thing in Australia, so I’m excited to be able to hand out candy this year and revel in the unending cute of the neighborhood kids and their costumes.
I’m also looking forward to taking advantage of some Halloween sales. I heard through the ghostly grapevine that Modcloth is offering FREE Express shipping on orders $150+ from 9 a.m. on 10/24 to 9 a.m. on 10/26 (no code required). If there’s anything you’ve had your eye on and were worried it wouldn’t arrive in time, fear not.
I’ll try to let you know if I hear of any sales or specials. I’m a big fan of the Halloween treats. Tricks need not apply….
Happy Autumn!
xoxo
