Halloween 5.0

Since I stay practically seven months behind in everything I do, I thought I should share photos from last year's Halloween. Adrienne trick-or-treated with her little besties again this year. The kids are getting older, so they are easier to wrangle. They totally had the hang of it unlike the chaos from the year before. We just sat back and watched from the end of each house's driveway. And then we went home, sent them to bed, and ate the good candy. Because PARENTS.

Oh, and here they are from the year before's Halloween! Gosh, they are growing.

Fairytale Jubilee and American Made

Fairytale Jubilee is very dear to me. Alisha Collins, the mastermind behind the extraordinary costume shop, sent Adrienne the most beautiful princess dress in the whole wide world, a while back. The dress I chose was an already made, one-of-a-kind, gown in a size 8, which was way too big at the time. Adrienne is finally a 6t now (where has the time gone?), and I'm anxiously waiting for her to fit into it for photos. I couldn't bare for it to be hidden away in her closet, so it's been hanging on Adrienne's wall in her room, like the piece of art that it is. And believe me, anytime someone new comes over and sees her room, that's the first thing they gasp over.

Fairytale Jubilee's dresses are incredible. Here are few of my favorites from her shop:

Andplusalso, Fairytale Jubilee, has just been chosen as a 2014 American Made finalist by Martha Stewart and her panel of judges. American Made is contest that showcases up and coming businesses that handcraft amazing goods. All of the contestants make their products here in America.

A big high five to Alisha for creating such amazing eye candy! And fingers crossed you will win. You deserve it.

Elliott's Fancy Dress

I'm going to start off by giving a full disclaimer. I'm located in the southern half of the United States. But, for some reason, I have a big following over in the UK. The British obviously know what's up. I mean, because, Coffee and Cashmere is pretty legit. #justsayin #helloroyals

Anyimhungryforcrumpetsnow, I'm going to be sharing yet another great company located overseas, Elliott's Fancy Dress. They offer a wide range of fancy dress costumes for us big kids. Some are downright awesome. I mean there is a BACON costume. Ohandplusalso? A friggin FRAGGLE ROCK MOKEY costume. And yes that had to be in caps to show my excitement. How did Halloween just pass without me knowing something that amazing even existed? Because that costume is my childhood.

Elliott's Fancy Dress also has costumes for the littles. From a little Michael Jackson to a very strange WWII evacuee costume (huh?), there is obviously something for everybody.

Elliott's Fancy Dress also offers book week fancy dress costumes online. Book week is an event in schools where a child picks out a book and reads it by a certain date. Then a big party is held, and the children dress up as the characters of the book they read. When I was little, we had Book It. You read so many books a month and you got a pizza from Pizza Hut. That's what we call motivation over here in the States.
