Bride & Fungus!

Less than 2 weeks away from my favorite special event of the season!! I can’t wait to fill up at Taste of Terror to start off. These next two looks are a little more subtle, but again keeping it on theme and Florida weather appropriate. I’ve been scoping out the set pieces being brought in for the scarezones and like every year, they are elaborate and look great. My favorite is the FEDRA inspection station. (Pictured above). 

If you don’t know, this is gassed on Tiffany Valentine in Bride of Chucky and the Chucky Series. I love Jennifer Tilly, so had to give her some props here. There is no way that anyone is going to love wearing a leather jacket in this heat, so I kept the look with a lighter option and a tennis dress. This Chucky clutch is so darn cute too, this shade of red is vintage for the film. Affiliate links are below;


The last of Us is the toughest for me to style! This one screens Ellie though. Between her tattoo and her bag that has swag, you’ve got it covered. You will sure to be comfortable in this thought.

HHN- Stranger Things Heavy!

I know it’s July, but all over tik tok and all over Florida it is feeling more like fall- although the weather begs to differ. Halloween season comes quicker every year, with good reason! It’s so fun and out of the norm. You get to be a bit spookier and kookier with no judgement. Over at Casa de spicy- we are going to be having a Halloween party- Glam style. I’ve been picking up things here and there as I come across them, but let me tell you that Homegoods has the most by far, especially for party items like serving dishes and decor. 

I digress! Back to bounding! Affiliate links are below for the items shown  


I love Dustin from ST! He is the heart of the show, and embodies teenage awkwardness to the fullest. This is an ode to Dusty-bunny. Remember that this event is in Orlando, and although is a Halloween event, there is No Fall in Florida. It will be hot, so make sure your clothes breaths. This romper is just the thing to keep you cool, along with the button up shirt that offers some cover for the strong air conditioning. The hat can be customized with Camp Knowhere if you are handy with a cricut. I actually own this cross body bag, and it’s small and lightweight with a good amount of pockets. I love it!

I love Nancy Wheeler just as much. She reminds me of my big sister in her style and ever-annoyed attitude toward her younger brother. She is definitely channeling preppy throughout the show, but you know she’s got an edge! This outfit is definitely all Nancy! Check out this camera purse, which I think is my favorite price for sure. Each of these can be used for everyday wear as separate pieces, but all together, there is no mistaking who you are paying tribute to.

More HHN Looks

Aside from the more popular IP’s this year I want to throw some love at the other houses and scarezones that are being featured. Don’t get me wrong, I could put together looks for Stranger Things, Chucky & The apart of us all day long. In fact, I’m having trouble really deciding what to wear on the nights that I attend. Below I have put together some less spooky looks, and more of a nod to the other houses. Hope you love them. 


This look is a 50’s classic monsters look. The dress is a lightweight knit that is sure to keep you comfy at the park. Also, the flats are comfort walking ones, so leave the sneakers at home. I just love this Loungefly that I found at Hot Topic too. The earrings are from Etsy  
Ok, I really had to dig for inspiration on this one. The Exorcist was one of those movies that scared the mess out of me as a kid. There were some really intense scenes, and even make me super squirrelly as an adult. Although the house this year is based on a yet-to-be released sequel, I am basing this look on the original. The shorts I found are flowy like a skirt which I love and kind of reminds me  of a nun’s habit. The purse is super cool and really could go with any movie-themed house. Those along with the rosary style necklace are from Amazon. The earrings and button are from Etsy, and the shirt is from hot topic. 

I for one love a girly look, but my beautiful wife prefers a button down any day of the week. This one is for her to support my The Last of Us obsession. I love this fungus & skull shirt from Hot Topic. I would definitely add the firefly patch to the cargo shorts to complete the look. She doesn’t carry a bag, that’s what I’m for, but I couldn’t resist that killer toadstool pin for some flair. 

Never Sleep Again

 We are halfway to HHN and speculation is upon us for the IP houses. One that is in hot gossip is a Freddy house, or Nightmare on Elm Street...
