Ah moving in with your Food Editor who also has quite an eye for design means that I don't have complete say so on what goes within our space! I love that we agree and disagree and we are definitely learning. So we have an interesting space that is upstairs and downstairs. We decided that upstairs, which is our living space, will be very Japanese like. Our bed is a beautiful platform  bed that is known as Espresso in color. This is great since I love that the wood is black with a hint of brown but I find it difficult to find additonal wooden pieces. We also have gorgeous wood floors that are more a of a cherry stain so the problems continue. We need a bookcase badly and probably a few as we are piling up on books and interesting items. But what to get? Below are some shelves that I am thinking of and believe that this can add to our theme! This weekend we went to Pearl River and we bought our first sake set!

Now that Fashion Week is no longer a priority, I start to think about the rest of the year. With my birthday being last Fri, it always marks the middle of the month for me. It then makes me think about the fact that there are only three full months left and most of it becomes VERY holiday oriented. My sister was born on Halloween, so it's always important for me to think about what I will wear to her parties! This year she is reflecting back to her days at Duke where she enjoyed "Headmaster and Mistress Parties". When I was in college at IU, we never has a huge thing about having a theme but every weekend my sister seemed to go another themed event and this was one of my favorites. So I knew that I would be in a cute school girl outfit and my boyfriend would have to look like a professor or something like that. Around this time, Yandy.com which is known for their variety of costumes let me know that it was never too early to think about Halloween.

Ever since I have been in NYC, Halloween is never complete without standing in line at Ricky's days before the big party; however, this year I vowed that I wouldn't do this. I would have my costumes and then I could spend more time accessorizing them! So within today's gallery you can see my images and as I go to the parties, of course, you will see me in them. This year I will be Sexy Dorothy, a Geisha Doll and also Sexy Schoolgirl. What a great combo and it's nice to dress differently to each function that I will attend.

The good thing is that we can all enjoy these costumes by visiting Yandy and seeing what looks best. Each day, there are new items being added and they have great accessories such as shoes and more to make sure that you fully get into character. What are you going as for Halloween? Do you have favorite places? I will continue to do a weekly post sharing about where you can go and various discounts that are out there - stay tuned!
