Time to Shine: Fashion Halloween

I have to be 1000% honest- Fashion Halloween is perhaps one of my most favorite series, planning, times I have all year. The combination of aging and fashion? The story telling? I get a kick of planning and putting together my costumes each year– and I can’t wait to share this year’s choices with you! Yet, in the meantime- here is a look back at some of my most favorite Fashion Halloween moments and costumes!

As you can tell- I LOVE this time of year- and these costumes. One of the ones I am planning (and the mask I bought) may be one of my best EVER! What are you being for Halloween? Have you thought about it? Do you love planning a costume and story like I do? I would love to hear any and all about it (and give ideas if needed!) From this Wednesday till the Wednesday before Halloween we will be celebrating Fashion Halloween- I truly and so excited and can’t wait! Happy Spooky Season! XO RA
