With each blog post Halloween gets closer and closer. Do you know what you're going to be yet? If you answered no to that question here is an idea. Be a lion/lioness! This is a super easy costume that you can make from items in your closet or if you want you can get simple accessories from a Halloween store to elevate your look.

I'm just looking forward to eating all the chocolate covered strawberries I can possibly stomach. By now we all know the color scheme that goes along with this day; red, pink, and white. To be honest I don't own much of these colors so I had to look deep deep into my closet to find these particular outfits. The most important thing is to wear what...
