Whats up spooks?! HAPPY HALLOWEEN GUYS!

The older I get, the more fun I have with costumes & makeup on this wicked holiday! I love buying a costume/clothes that I would regularly wear, and just spicing it up with some good accessories & makeup! (Remember my pink unicorn from last year?! Same concept!)

This year I headed to Lulus for my skeleton costume needs and found this black velvet dress! Perfect for Halloween & even more perfect to wear out on a date night! I totally scored with this dress! I also adore these boots and socks which I also scored at Lulus! (Also, if you remember my unicorn costume last year, it was all Lulus as well! They’re simply the best!)

For Chases costume, we decided that black on black was the way to go! Hole-y + distressed tee & jeans + the skell makeup and he’s good to go!

I did our halloween makeup this year and it is in no way professional! But, after a few years of testing out Halloween makeup, I do have a few tips for you guys!

1. Find a picture of Halloween makeup you like and copy it as best as you can! I continually look at the picture while doing my Halloween makeup and it helps a ton!!!!

2. Use as much real makeup as possible! (Aka don’t use the cheap stuff from the grocery store unless you have to!) Real makeup stays in place better, looks better, and feels better than the cheap Halloween makeup! (We did use cheap white cream that we found for $1.00 at target, but it was hard to work with! If you can find actual white makeup.. it’s going to look so much better!) You can shop the makeup we used/the makeup I recommend for this look below!

3. Apply the makeup how you would regular makeup! Use brushes, bake your foundation, add detail, & BLEND the crap out of lines! I used foundation brushes, eye liner brushes, liquid eyeliner pens, and a beauty blender to complete our faces!

4. TAKE YOUR SWEET TIME! Sure, you can throw the look on in 5 minutes, but if you go slow and pay attention to detail, it’s going to look soo much better! It took us 25 minutes to do our faces, and I honestly could have done better if I had the time!

5. HAVE FUN! Be creative, get crazy, accentuate your features, and be unique! No two skells should be alike. (;

Thanks for stopping by guys! Wishing you all a spooky good night! Happy Halloween everyone!!!! <3 Love you all!

Feeling on top of the world at "Top of the Rock!" We took breaks inbetween the shows, meetings, and events to play tourist in the city!

Top of the Rock, (on top of the Rockefeller center) was one of our favorite attractions! It's so high up, has the prettiest views, and you can see the Empire State Building perfectly from it! This is something we'll be going to every time we're in NYC from here on out!

Some other touristy things we did and LOVED were the Brooklyn Bridge, Dumbo, Central Park, 9/11 Memorial, Empire State Building, Jimmy Fallon, Soho, the Highline, Hudson river, flatiron building, the Met, Wicked on Broadway, Yankee Stadium, and 5th Ave! We recommend visiting these places if you're headed to the city!

We used City Pass to get discount attraction tickets and saved a couple hundred dollars! City Pass also got us through lines quickly on majority of the things we did! (Check out City Pass HERE!) We also found cheap broadway tickets on an app called Tickets Today, and cheap Yankees tickets as well on the Yankee Stadium app! We recommend these discount apps/tickets, they were AMAZING for us!

Aside from Top of the Rock and the shows during fashion week, our favorite thing to do in the city was EAT! We pigged out HARD and are missing the food in the city already! Our favorite places to grab grub were Mighty Quins Bbq, STK, Black Tap Burgers & Shakes, By Chloe, The Smith, Shake Shack, and Laduree for sweets/dessert! (We suggest not going to chains while you're in the city! There's so much good food to try!.. We didn't even get half way through our list of places to eat!)

For transportation we used Uber & the subway! Uber drivers are cheaper, nicer, and better drivers than Cabbies! (Taxi drivers.) The subway is 100% the way to travel though.. it's going to be the cheapest & quickest way to any destination! We used Google Maps to help us navigate through the city. Just hit "transit" or "subway" after you've entered in your destination!

We stayed at Arlo Hotel (Nomad location) and it was incredible! Reasonably priced for the area we were in, (it's on 5th avenue and two blocks away from the Empire State Building) our room was clean and new compared to all the other hotels we looked at, it had incredible views, and the nicest staff! Seriously, we made friends with half the staff there! Arlo has another hotel located in Soho that looks extremely similar and is priced a bit better if you're not wanting to stay in midtown!

Our photographer in NYC was non other than the incredible Ty French! Ty took our formals when we got married and we both LOVE his work! He shoots everything from commercial, to fashion, to weddings! He's also available for travel! We both love his style and recommend him as a photographer for ANYTHING! (Love you, Ty!)
