Halloween in the City

I know it's November, but I couldn't help but share these pictures of our Halloween here in NYC. It was so much fun to walk around the city as the Wizard of Oz characters! 

We took Duo to a children's event in Alsphalt Green in Battery Park, that had a lot of fun activities going on. Halloween in the city is sooo different from the suburbs!

My costume and Duo's were store bought, but Brian made his own and I loved it! He got many compliments. He went to a coffee store and bought coffee bags for $2 each! He got the straw at a Halloween store, we already had the hat (mine!). And because there was no Tin Man, I made the "Missing Tin Man sign".

Duo had a blast running around, although he did not want to keep his lion mane on! We all had a great time and we never found the Tin Man. We did see another Dorothy and a Scarecrow...

Afterwards, on our way home we ran into the West Village Halloween Parade. We watched for a minute, and then headed home...to Oz. Ha!

 

Hope you enjoyed a peek into our Halloween. We love Halloween and we already know what we'll be next year!

Happy Halloween: Pumpkin Patch

On Monday we headed on a family adventure to Alstede Farm in Chester, New Jersey. It was a beautiful day filled with smiles, animal feeding and lots of pumpkins!

Duo is obsessed with animals, and besides our cat, the city dogs, pigeons and the occasional squirrel he doesn't get to see and feed many animals, so when we fed the goats he was super happy!

It was so much fun to see him be free, run and explore. It was definitely a different experience for him from the city. He's really a city boy!

I love that picture of him as a bee below. Isn't it cute? After running around for a while we hopped on the hayride and headed to the pumpkin patch.

This was also my first time to a pumpkin patch. Brian thinks it's crazy that I'd never been to one. Well, he grew up in what he likes to call a "property" with animals in Washington State. I grew up in the suburbs of Southern California and the city life of Buenos Aires, so having animals other than cats and dogs in your backyard to me is a farm. Period. Right, Duo?

Skull Fashion Sense

I love skulls all year round, and with Halloween being closer it's a trend that can be added to anybody's wardrobe.

Of course the master of skulls in fashion Alexander Mc Queen and this classic scarf is the perfect accessory for any outfit. And what about some fun skull jewelry? Tatina Tarantino always has fun items and I think the necklace and ring are a cute way of wearing skulls.

Oh, but have you seen those Alexander Mc Queen flats? Love them! And they also come in many other colors. 

 

What about you? Do you wear skulls all year, on halloween or are they "too scary" for you?
