Today, I’ll be enjoying some treats at home and spending a cozy evening watching Scream and enjoying the smell of a scented pumpkin candle! I went for traditional Halloween colors for my outfit and wore a Halloween necklace I made for my Etsy shop!
I’ve always thought the design of the Union Jack is just so cool, and I love how it’s been used in everything from iconic pop culture moments (i.e., stunning Geri Halliwell rocking a daring mini dress on stage in the ’90s) to bold English punk fashion statements!
As for me, I styled this look with lots of hot pink and Hello Kitty! Because the cute cat is also an iconic pop culture figure – featured in both of these outfits! π

Leading into my next outfit, I’ve been re-reading one of my favorite Royal Diaries books, which is written from the perspective of a teenage Marie Antoinette! It’s fiction, but takes from actual historical events. βοΈ
One of the things mentioned in the book is how, at the Court of Versailles, women would decorate their hair with anything from silk roses to faux birds. I immediately thought, hey, I can do that! And that is how my new bird hair pin came to be. I love it soooo much and have been wearing it practically every day since making it, haha!
I followed along with the rococo vibes by wearing lots of small bows, crown hair clips and a cameo ring. I think it turned out really well!

It’s nice to see Frankenstein’s monster having a moment. I’m referring to the totally awesome Xfinity Wi-Fi commercial that I’ve caught on television recently, which shows him having the time of his life in his castle and village once he discovers the amazing internet provider (which I also use, and I, too, feel like the world is at my fingertips!). I thought, I need to bring out my purse of him and his blushing bride!
Also, I brought out my arm warmers for this outfit. I thought it was a fun and bold choice for a darker, edgier look; I like the star shirt and the heart bracelet, which add a focus on shapes in this outfit!
Rings: Temu
Cat shoes: Hot Topic
Hair clip: Made by me!
Also, my mom and I went to a local pumpkin patch, and I picked out a couple of small pumpkins – I drew a face on this one. He is a happy, smiley little guy!
When my friend and I decided to take a walk on a beautiful fall afternoon on the first day of October this week, what are the odds that we’d come across two black cats strolling alongside us?! I mean, it couldn’t be a more perfect way to kick off October! π€π€
Another great way to start the month was getting a Monster Cookie Sweet Cream Iced Coffee from Jack in the Box before I went on said walk. It was the perfect thing to sip on while enjoying the perfect autumn day!
To make the week even more awesome, my sister and I went to Target to check out the Halloween aisles, and much to my surprise, I found hair clips in the little girls’ section from the brand Cat & Jack that I simply couldn’t pass up. DOG HAIR CLIPS!!! π
So to mix in everything, from spooky Halloween cats to cute dogs, I give you this ensemble! I’m proud to say that I made the big purple bow I’m wearing in the back of my hair! I really love how it turned out, and how it looks with this outfit! π
