Playlist // Trick-or-Treat

The time for tricks and treats is nearly here. Don't get caught sitting on your pumpkin with no music when the guests arrive. We compiled our favorite modern mix of spooktacular tunes perfect for costume parties and young trick-or-treaters. Enjoy!

Moodboard Monday // Halloween

Can you believe this is the last week of October? For all of those Halloween enthusiasts (Jami, we're looking at you!), we have the goodies to get your going while you prep for trick-or-treaters and spooky guests arriving at your home this week. 

Row 1: Make an amazing pumpkin punch or spiced cider served in our Irish Glass. Image via here / / One of our favorite bloggers, Waiting on Martha, created an eerily cool scene for a Halloween party. We loved her presentation of punch and stemware. See all her glorious details here.
Row 2: Even more Waiting on Martha, from candy apples to eyeball amuse bouche. Style Me Pretty covered the details here.  
Row 3: Serve your ghoulish guests stylishly with the White Chloe Goblet while refreshments stay cool in your customized pumpkin cooler. If beer isn't your thing, how about a fun Poison Apple drink in a crystal coup.  
Row 4: Celebrate the Day of the Dead with Onyx Stemware. // Kelly Wearstler styles her Beetlejuice dinner rather stylishly, don't you think? // Going for elegance rather than eerie? Mint julep cups and mixed metals approach the evening with a stunning rather than spooky vibe. 
Row 5: Black striped linens will make even the plainest tablescape pop. // For even more delicious yet festive options for serving drinks, our Autumn Ardor page is filled with our favorite ways to imbibe, like this Rosemary Pear Vodka drink.  
Row 6: Amber Goblets add a nice touch to your harvest tabletop. // Decorate everything from your bar cart to your entry way. Our favorite finds for Halloween decorating are on Domaine. 

POSH Playlist: Thriller

What's a ridiculously fun holiday without a killer playlist? Here's a list of spooky and spectacular tunes sure to keep your trick-or-treaters wanting to stick around (and stay on your Ipod well after the festivities end). Not planning the party but instead arriving as a ghoulish guest? Click here to check out these last-minute Halloween recipes for a great treat to bring to your host.

 

Entertain: Halloween

Maybe it's the candy and the costumes, but Halloween seems to bring out the little kid in us. Is there anything better than a fun evening of hocus pocus with friends and kiddos? Here's to hoping you have a wonderful Halloween weekend!

Invitation by Paperless Post

The Graveyard: No, this isn't from a movie or haunted house. We've mentioned before that Halloween is Jami's favorite holiday, and her front yard proves it. She and husband Joe create a fantastic display of ghouls and graves that bring in droves of trick-or-treaters.
The Tabletop: Mix and match from these fun and festive colors. (Clockwise from top left) Green Chloe Goblet, Onyx Glassware, Amber Goblet, Tangerine Acrylic Scalloped Charger with Leopard China, Scalloped Black Charger with Black and Gold China.
The Decor: (Clockwise from left) These wine bottles turned candle holders provide a glamorous look for Halloween. The decor should be as whimsical and enchanted as possible.

Agenda: Jami

What does Jami have on her agenda for Fall? Find out below.

What do you most look forward to for Fall? 
The weather so I can wear my favorite Burberry quilted jacket, leggings, and boots. Oh, did you mean for work? - I love the Fall. It is my favorite season, and Halloween really is my favorite holiday.

What is your favorite way to celebrate Fall?
Fall baseball and Honeycrisp  Apples, a little "nip" in my hot chocolate, Frito Pie, and finally getting to go for a walk outside.

Favorite Fall fashions?
Besides the Burberry and boots listed earlier, I love a fun fur coat and Chanel jewel tone tweed sweaters.  

1. Channeling: Cozy knits as shown on Charlize Theron, fun furs as shown on Lee Radziwill, and Grace Kelly in Fall. (Images via here.)
2. Wearing: The latest Burberry quilted coat from the Fall 2012 runways.
3. Partaking: Getting cozy with comfort foods like hot chocolate, honeycrisp apples, and Frito Pie.
4. Doing: Walks outside down beautiful Fall streets, watching baseball, enjoying the great weather, and, of course, Halloween!
