Have you entered our Ruche or Margarita Bloom giveaways yet? And I’m using this post as entry for SITS Canon Rebel contest cuz mama needs a DSLR and the hubs hasn’t sprung for one yet. HA!
Happy Monday lovelies. I hope everyone had a fabulously fun Halloween if you celebrate it! Ours didn’t turn out quite as I had planned. The dude kept his costume on all of about five minutes. There’s always next year right?
Big hugs and thanks to everyone who voted for him in the Gap Casting Call contest by the way! It’s still open so feel free to vote every day. I know you have that kind of time. HA! I’m sure we’ll catch up to that little babe in the lead with the 20,000 plus votes in no time. What? Is that unrealistic? I’m a glass is have full kinda chick lately, so I choose to think that everyone who sees his photo will think he’s as adorable as I do. You gotta love crazy mama rationale right? Anyhoo, take a look at my cranky little spider.
Thankfully, that foul mood if his didn’t last all night. Once we took off his costume, he chilled and we had a marvelous evening. My mama cooked us up a feast, after which the hubs and I rented a dvd and had some snugs on the sofa. The dude took pity on us and went to bed sans crying fit. I’d call it a pretty successful Sunday!
Before our Halloween festivities got underway, I kicked off the weekend with a little shopping on Friday and I scored some killer deals at the Loft. I know I said I was trying to save my pennies for all my upcoming travel, but these deals were too good to pass up. I’m talking 30% off already heavily discounted items. Holla!
I was hoping to find a little plum colored pretty to add to my wardrobe, but that didn’t happen. Boo. I did score another electric blue piece however. I needed something else in that color like I need a hole in the head. What can I say? It’s like a tractor beam for moi. The reason I had plum on the brain, thought, is because I came across a beautiful plum sweater that I had forgotten about in my closet and it occurred to me that I don’t have nearly enough of that deep, rich and most perfect fall color in my wardrobe. What about ya’ll? Is plum part of your color tricks of the trade?

Jessica says
At least the lil’ dude looked adorable in his costume for a wee bit! 🙂
I made sure to stay far, far away from Loft this weekend. I do not need any temptation! Haha. But these plum pieces are gorgeous.
Debby says
I love Plum and yes, I have my fair share of it. It’s one of those colors that kind of brighten me up! Glad your son enjoyed Halloween even if it was sans costume. Now I am off to vote for your little guy!
p.s. I am having a Williams Sonoma gift card giveaway if you want to come enter! xo
HauteWorld says
Aww, your little one makes one adorable spider! A shame he didn’t want to keep his costume on, but I can understand he’d start getting fidgety in it.
Love those plum choices! That dress is too gorgeous. I have only a few plum colored items, but I definitely wouldn’t mind getting more!
Danielle (elleinadspir) says

Connie @ Sogni e Sorrisi says
Love plum! And what an adorable costume.
everton terrace says
I adore that less than happy photo. I have a friend who uses those kind of “real life” photos for her Christmas cards and I think I look forward to her card most of all. Just fun and we can all relate. I kind of feel that way today actually.
Joey @ Big Teeth & Clouds says
That’s a great color!
Glad you had a nice night even though the spider’s part in it was pretty abbreviated!
Gina says
What a cute lil spidey!!
I think most little ones only end up wearing their costumes for a few moments 🙂
Plum has always been one of my fav fall/winter colors, i think i will try to incorporate it into my outfit today (yes it is 11:30 and i’m not dressed yet!) hehe
I so want in on this twitter party!!
I’ll be at work during it so i’m gonna try to finagle as much party time as possible 😉
Hope your Monday is going smoothly.
Jenny says
The dude is an adorable spider!! Glad to know that my toddler wasn’t the only one who ditched the costume quick! Loving the plaid shirt!

Oh, I love plum. More as an accessory though, because otherwise I think it highlights the dark circles under my eyes…

Cranky spiders need candy!

Hope your week’s off to a great start!
