spooking season

overalls: modcloth

The only thing better than the start of spooking season? Blue corduroy overalls.

A slight breeze rustled through the evergreen trees in my suburb, and like that, it was fall. That's really the only indicator we get here. It was enough for me to reach for my brand new overalls from Modcloth and hit the old 'patch. When I was a kid, I used to ferret around for the biggest possible pumpkin my little stick arms could carry. Now, I just look for something cute and sufficiently spooky.

Speaking of childhood: corduroyyyyyy. These overalls are so satisfyingly textured. I'm constantly running my hands down them. Plus they're this deep navy blue color that makes them a bit fancier than my standard get-up. Even more enticingly, they just feel like fall. Or at least, what I imagine ~fall~ to feel like. They were part of my latest Modcloth raid - wait until y'all see the velvet dress.

We spent this evening wandering through one of the biggest corn mazes in California with a very confusing map, our suspiciously cheerful friends, and a rustling in the stalks that Jordan said was a mouse..

..but I'm pretty sure it was just a very small ghost.

I'm a mouse, duh

jacket: miss selfridges
t-shirt: chance the rapper merch
jeans: forever 21
boots: b.c. footwear
ears: THE MAIN MOUSE HIMSELF


It's officially happened. I'm that lame college student who tried her best and couldn't get a single decent costume together, despite her best efforts + Amazon purchases. In my defense, I tried.

Last night I witnessed Chance the Rapper and I do, in fact, feel blessed. I love seeing people truly engage with their passion, and that's what he's doing. If you've never listened to his music, try this one. Or just listen to The Life of Pablo, because he's one of the few people trusted by Kanye (who I am seeing in 455 hours, or 2,360 minutes) to touch his tracks. Live music is always a good investment, and so is merch.

Here's a thing this lame costume made me think about: It's October and I haven't been to Disneyland all year. This may sound like a first world problem to those of you who have never been to Disneyland, and to those of you who have, but I dont care at all. Disneyland should be a public insitiution, like libraries, or Target.

Now I need to go fill up on my favorite vegetable:
 candy corn.

Happy Day-After-Halloween aka Sugar Hangover Day

I'm sitting here feeling some candy-coated form of regret. Not about my costume, but that more people didn't get to see it. I was spectacularly pink. Even for me.  My nails are even painted "punk rock pink". You already know. 

As you should also already know, I was OBSESSED with the S/S '15 Moschino  collection. I mean, let's go over this: Barbie-inspired ensembles using every shade of pink known to man, rollerskates, + full-of-secrets big hair. It was MADE to be a halloween costume. And also to be worn every other day of the year. Don't deny this love.

What did everyone dress up as? How were the candy hauls? Or do you have one of those things...what're they called..oh yeah, a "social life". I've heard that people who have those don't go trick or treating with their little brother. Weird.

this is halloween, halloween, halloween

 this is my pumpkin, her name is Suzy

Haaaappy Halloweeeeeeen

all jokes about taking candy from strangers aside, 

I love Halloween

Costumes, awesome makeup, oh and candy 

What're you dressing up as?

note: if you say "miley cyrus", you're disowned

And yes, I still trick or treat.

no shame in my game

Then I'll probably sit on my couch in a sea of Milky Way wrappers

and watch Hocus Pocus, Charlie Browns The Great Pumpkin, 

and the Nightmare Before Christmas in quick succession.

there are other nights to party with friends, nights without so many amazing themed movies

And of course, the most important thing about Halloween:

There's only 54 days until Christmas!

Queen Of The Pumpkins.

 (#teenvogue sweater c.o Society Of Chic|Jeans:Levi's|Cami: Aeropostale|Boots: Ariat|Bag:vintage)

 Happppppyyy Halloweeeeeeennn!

Linus has nothing on me when it comes to Halloween excitedness.

 We go to the same awesome little pumpkin patch every year. It's been run by the same family for ages, and everything is rickety, and old, and basically falling apart, but in a really good way.
My family always ends up buying way more pumpkins than any rational family needs.  As in, six. Not four, not five, six.

 This is also usually the time that I usually start pulling out my sweater piles.  

Unfortunately, California hasn't gotten the "It's practically November, go away sunshine." memo.

But this sweater is a good transition piece that still fuels my mental need to wear a sweater.

 It's nice and light.

 and sparkly.

 You know how I feel about sparkly things.

 Can I put glitter on a pumpkin????

xx,

Justina

ps. I want to hear all about your candy hauls. spill.

pps. Black. Cats.
