Jewel Toned Shimmer

So for some days 
I love old fashioned elegance.

Instead of  matchy-matchy ideas
I would go for 
layering of different patterns and textures.

Accents in jewel tones
red, burnt orange, rust and a hint of gold,
for more oomph and interest.

A little metallic punch here and there

goes a long way in creating a visual interest.

Have fun with styling
and give your space

 a richer and more dramatic look.

Which means Treats and Treats and not Tricks!

Oh yes, there must be some healthier options 

for the Halloween Treats.

and all the cute, little devils are here...

The little wicked witch

and black cats are seen,
the moon laughs and whispers
'tis near Halloween"
