If I were only a few inches shorter, I would still don a mask on Halloween and attempt to trick-or-treat with the other children in my neighborhood. Since that’s not exactly a possibility (and the idea’s a bit creepy), I’ve found other ways to celebrate my favorite holiday.
Last year, my friend Rachel, of Heart-of-Light, and I drove about an hour away to visit a pumpkin patch. Of course, we were the oldest ones there without children, but that didn’t stop us from jumping in wheel barrows and laughing our way through the make-shift haunted house. This year, we’ve upgraded just a bit and will be attempting our own Halloween decorations. Since I now live with my boyfriend, I’ve promised to keep them tasteful and simple with a little inspiration from Martha Stewart.
Paper mice – If these were spiders, I couldn’t deal, but these mice are such a fun option to decorate our entryway.
Silhouette Curtains – Not sure if the hanging body would bode well in Beverly Hills, but this would be so perfect for our two big windows facing the street.
Glittered pumpkins – Such a festive way to add a bit of sparkle to a table or mantle.
Do you have any annual Halloween traditions?

Ron Herman is one of those notoriously hip, overpriced stores that I simply can’t help but love. Even the site is filled with of-the-moment biker jackets and the softest of sweaters, but it’s the accessories department that truly sets them apart. Here are some of the standouts, all of which have a little something special to spice up a neutral outfit.
With this season’s emergence of statement jewelry comes this Chandelier Necklace by Bliss Lau. Made of antique brass with leather details, this can be looped in all sorts of ways as a delicate focal point for plain, white tops.
It’s no surprise that this incredibly original Ruth Pocket Scarf is from Sienna Miller’s fashion line, Twenty8Twelve. The olive color is an unexpected choice and the miniature, buttoned pockets are such a cute way to keep fingers toasty.
Beanies usually make me resemble an unfortunate snowman, but the details on Carolina K’s Chullo Hat are so adorable that even I feel as though I could pull it off. The cascading pom pom strands, ear muffs and the fact that it’s made of 100% Alpaca just seals the deal.

Even though the temperatures in Los Angeles are still hovering in the upper 80′s, I can’t help but imagine running through apple orchards with some lace-up boots, a tweed hat and some fingerless gloves.
