halloween 2017



halloween this year will go down in history as one of my favorites!  we met up with a few friends at a stranger things-themed festival in downtown raleigh.  it was so much fun seeing all the 80's costumes and people dressed as characters from the show!  i went as my favorite heroine from game of thrones, daenerys targaryen/khaleesi/mother of dragons, while cory went in his favorite rock star costume ;)  i made my costume by hand (using this awesome tutorial), and almost didn't finish in time... but i'm happy i did because i won second place in the traditional costume contest and got a $50 giftcard!!  woot woot!

khaleesi and drogon!

the cutest little dragon you ever did see!


there was a polaroid photo booth at the festival!  so fun and nostalgic!

so rock and roll!

wonder woman and another 80's rocker!

we ran into eleven...

willy wonka...

and even negan and lucille!

we ended the night with more friends at watts and ward for some cocktails and cigars! (if you live near raleigh and have not been here, you need to stop what you're doing and go there right now).



we also had a little pumpkin carving date night at home earlier in the week.  i wanted to do something a little different, so i looked to my favorite podcast for a little inspo, while cory kept it traditional.  you can see our pumpkin creations from years past here (2016), here (2014 when i had red hair!), and here (2013)!  i don't know what happened in 2015, haha!

stay sexy.  don't get murdered.

a little out of focus, whoopsie!



halloween 2017, you were wonderful!
