Creepy & Fun Food Ideas for Halloween

It's no secret - I love a theme. Around Halloween I can't help but look for fun food, decor and costume inspiration. It's my Christmas. Normally, overly fussy foods bore me, but make them creepy and I'll sit cutting eyeballs out of olives for hours. A few years back I made this Halloween spread, featuring mini mummy calzones, eyeball pizzas, graveyard layer dip with tortilla headstones and witch finger cookies:




Like I said, I love a theme. 😎  I've been poking around pinterest and google to find more new ideas for Halloween treats, and now I've got more options than I know what to do with! Here are my top 20 Halloween food inspirations:










































Are you making any fun Halloween treats this year?

Etsy Shop of the Month: rommydebommy

Fried Egg Purse


If you've ever wondered what it would be like to step inside the candy-filled world of Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory, or perhaps be shrunken down to the size of an ant a la Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, you'll get a sense of what both would be like through the art of rommydebommy.

Wondering how? Rommy's fashion accessories, a colorful mix of purses, necklaces and even bow ties, are made to resemble everyday items, like a bowl of cereal or a buttery croissant, except they're oversized in scale and fantastical in image - a serious feast for the eyes. 


Cereal Necklace & Purse


Most of her creations are based on food items, from iced layer cakes to syrupy waffles to full English breakfast plates. The pieces evoke a huge dose of whimsy and are honestly just a joy to look at. Ever wanted to strut around with a giant piece of Nutella toast as a clutch purse? Maybe not, but now that you know you can - don't you kind of need to?

All of Rommy's products give me that feeling - like I need them now. They're so surreal in the greatest way, and they would no doubt be the number one conversation piece in literally any room. I mean, who isn't going to ask you where you got your gummy worms necklace?



Clockwise: Taco Purse  //  Candy Watch Purse  //  Cake Purse  //  Pad Purse


The use of foam as a main material gives her pieces that exciting cartoonish vibe that always catches my eye. Everything is so big and colorful and fun! It feels to me as if the characters from Pee Wee's Playhouse all walked out the door and decided to hang from your shoulder, and for my kitschy tastes, that's about as good as it gets.


Croissant Purse



These cool purses aren't just form over function either - each has adequate space to stash all your essentials, typically accompanied by flashy gold accents. You'll find everything you need to play the part of kooky fashionista on the go!

Have you ever seen Rommy's stuff before? What's your favorite piece? Would you walk around with a pad clutch or no?

Friday Faves Vol. 2


Here's some fun stuff that's catching my eye lately:


These cool magnetic pineapple plant holders from etsy.


This cool (and surprisingly simple) DIY for beaded shoes with an eye motif.


Actress Sarah Ramos found a rom-com she wrote when she was 12, so she decided to actually make it - now we have the wonderful strangeness of City Girl.


This amazing makeup look from @nickeilgenesis - umm, those BROWS!


This beautiful work of art is actually an edible cake!


This DIY moon phase wall hanging would be super easy to make!


This map that shows what Pangea would look like with current national borders. Weird to imagine I'd be just a hop, skip & a jump away from Morocco!


This collection of gumball machine prizes from the 1970s! I'd want the little teeth.


This digital art by Markos Kay that imagines the human body as only blood vessels.


This behind-the-scenes photo of Sarah from Jeopardy's 'Clue Crew' getting ready before a shoot. I'm genuinely shocked that she does her own hair and makeup!
