straight up legit.


halloween was splendid.
don't be jealous or anything, but ted and i are straight up legit.



ted borrowed one of zach's old costumes (i can't believe it fit).
and he drew on his own lightening bolt scar (i was impressed).
i am pretty sure he makes a better harry than daniel ratcliffe...




sierra and i worked on our costumes together for the past few weeks.
we decided to be glammed out witches.
we had glittered tulle tutus. we sprayed glitter spray paint on our jeweled brooms and rosette-embellished witch hats. and we wore bling. we were pretty much ballin'...



love! no big deal...


so what i am trying to say is...
we had a "witchin'" good time.




what were you for halloween? what did you do?

You're costumes are amazing!! :D
I was a can can dancer. I had a BIG poofy tutu that went under my red dress and when I kicked up it would fan out. It was a lot of fun to wear. :D

Love the costumes!! You guys looked great! I was a Vampire (not the cullen kind). My husband is on deployment so all of our cute couples ideas went out the window. Anyway, I to a friends house for a Survivor Halloween party! It was the bomb. Really. Ryan and Meagan rock! She the fabulously tasty popcorn that she got from your blog!

Amber W. said...

Fun! I dressed up as a witch, too! I got to take my kis trick-or-treating for the first time. It was a huge hit!

Yours and Sierra's costumes were wicked cute!! No pun intended =) And Ted looks legit!! He could totes pass for Harry, no lie.

I did not dress up for Halloween. I dressed up on Thurs for this casino night event. I basically dressed up did make-up and called myself a Hollywood Starlet.
Last night I made sparks and scared people in a dark hallway with an air cannon, good times, good times.

love the witch costumes. this year i went to goodwill and got tons of crap straight out of the 80's and sorta threw it all on and that was my costume!! oh and i teased my hair/bangs so they were about 2 feet tall:) good times.

Loys said...

I really like your costume and the glitter thingies around your eyes. (What exactly are they?) And Ted totally looks more like Harry Potter than Daniel Radcliff!

I didn't dress up for Halloween. I stayed at home and watched "Love actually" with a friend. There was a lot of sobbing and crying. Seriously.

Klin said...

I was Nurse Cruella and the hubs was fantastic looking skeleton.

You guys are awesome looking.

Klin said...

I was Nurse Cruella De Ville and hubs was an awesome looking skeleton dude.

Your costumes are amazing. Love your glamour witch outfit.

Connie said...

We went but were too late :( You both look awesome! (Ted too... I wanted to be Harry Potter after seeing this weeks episode of Community. haha)

Alexandria said...

The Tedward makes a great Harry Potter...and you and Sierra are the most darling glam-itches!!

Tedauren.Is.The.Cutest.

Marissa said...

Love the glitter!

Jenn said...

I love the glitter and tutus! My husband and I went as Russell the Wilderness Explorer and Carl the old man from the movie "UP." We had a blast together. We were pretty stunned to take home "Most Original Costume" for the night.

whitney said...

You guys look super awesome!
I went as KStew. It was pretty much the best costume idea I have ever came up with.

LIndsay said...

I was Snow White! Everyone appreciated my costume (stick with the classics, my friend.) And I was the real Snow White, not the slutty Snow White-esque nonsense. I was also legit.

Melissa said...

hahha... so I'm gonna go on a limb and say your shirt is from target? True? hahaha.. I also wore that for my costume.

Chaphets said...

I was Belle in the blue dress from the beginning of Beauty and the Beast. :) It was a lot of fun! :D

Ryan, Meagan, and Jase said...

Your costumes are GREAT! This year we threw a BIG Halloween bash for 17 people and 4 little monsters! Our apartment was PACKED to say the least, but it was so fun. I put together "Halloween Survivor" which was a total blast! My hubby and I were 'Before' and 'After' slimfast people. I STUFFED myself til I couldn't breath and my husband wore a musle man shirt.
ps I also made some of you white chocolate and marshmellow popcorn stuff- it was a major hit YUM!

Elyse said...

Love it! Ted makes an awesome Harry Potter. I did the whole Cullen thing this year. I have to say that I officially know what the cast is talking about when they say the colored contacts are difficult.

Crystal said...

I was the angel of death...I pretty much just wanted to wear black feather wings and be a bit scary. So I carried a sickle and wore black make-up. Everyone else was just trying to be sexy and so I thought it might be cool to be the scary one of the bunch. :)

Your costumes are great! Tedward makes a great Harry Potter. :)

Kelsie said...

Mmmkay....LOVE your costume. You should probably stop bein' so cute. And as for your Hubby..he makes a wonderful Harry Potter. Woot Woot

Nyssa said...

I was a luchador like from Nacho Libre. Friggin sweet!

Alexandra said...

I was a pirate and went to my best friend's Halloween party where we ate pumpkin soup, which is my new favorite food.

RatalieNose said...

omg!!!The tedward looks EXACTLY like I've always pictured Harry!!

Trina said...

You are the most stylish witch I have seen! I love the black and white top with your tutu, very nice!

My friend hosted a murder mystery dinner, and I played a fortune teller. I made a rainbow patchwork skirt this past spring, and I wore it with a white ruffled top and a black waist cincher. I used a $1 plastic ball as my crystal ball, the swirly tie dye pattern on it looked like 'mist.' The best part of the night? I was secretly a vampire!

Ann Marie said...

Love the glam witchie costumes!
So glad your Halloween was great! XO

Lauren said...

You two are SO cute!!

Rasha @ and this is what she said... said...

Cute!! I like it.

You can see my blog on what we were :)

xoxox

Tameka said...

You two are cuteness! I wanted my princess to dress up as Hermione this year but she said the robe was too itchy so she went as Batgirl instead. I took her trick or treating and ending tripping, falling, and taking a header into a sewer! I was okay for the most part but I guess since I was wearing jeans and Chucks I was officially dressed as Bella!

PS - longest.comment.ever. Srsly :-)

{Steve and Amanda} said...

Harry likes the glamorous witches :)You guys are so cute.

We went to a trunk or treat and were crazy retro scientists (even the baby. And we had 13 real mice running around our trunk. I posted pics on our blog. I love Halloween.

Katie said...

This is fantastic! And best of all I know that you agree with me that the witch that Harry is with would DEFINITELY be Hermione. ;)

I love the glammed out costumes. You and Sierra are beautiful.

What was I for Halloween? I was...in the library studying for a hard Astronomy Test and researching so I could write a research proposal today. Boo, in the least fun sense of the word. I want my weekend back!

Molly said...

AAHHH!!! i officially love Ted. Not in a romantic way, but in a he-is-freaking-awesome way. Ted? I love your costume.
Lauren, you looked to cute! I love it!

As for me, I was trapped in a house of hyper little kids. Fun times. NOT.

Austin and Ashtyn said...

Your two witch costume's were darling! Ok and I am late yes I know, but I just have to tell you that your recap on Vampire Diaries was Hilarious! I was laughing out loud. You are hilarious!

Nancy Face said...

I was Princess Leia, and my kids couldn't even believe how weird I looked without poofy hair!

erica said...

Cherie said...

You guys looks too cute!

Bree and Bryce said...

Bree and Bryce said...

So so cute!

Cammie said...

Me and my best friend had planned this aaaawesome halloween party, but then she got sick and we had to cancel it. So we watched The Shining together and we almost peed our pants. To say that we are easily frightent are an understatement :p But that thing is freakin' scary!

I had planned to go as an zombie barbie or something. I am very pale to begin with so I figured I couldn't be a normal barbie ;p I was going to wear this kneeshort black dress and wear purple or darkred tights under. I would have been SO cool. But there's always next year, right? :)

You and Ted looked VERY legit, I must say. Find me a Ron and we're best friends! :D

Fran said...

Hi Lauren!
I'm Fran, a fan of your blog and a first time commenter.
You know something, I'm from Chile, and down here, it's not appropiate to celebrate Halloween
because it's not our tradition. Most people don't even know/understand the real meaning of Halloween, though people do
dress up and kids go out trick and treating. For people like me, Halloween (in southamericans countries) is a reason for the
merchants to sell more candy and get money from people's ignorance. If I were an USA native or a Great Britain native, the most probable
is that I'll dress up and participate in activities. So it makes me feel so angry when I watch the news or read the newspaper and found
articles about how the "Halloween fashion" is so trendy in my country. It makes me feel sad that we need to copy foreings traditions.
That being said, I love yours costumes!!
The glammed out witches ruled!!
Last august I celebrate my 23th birthdaY, we made a costume party; I dress up as a charleston girl. My boyfriend as Paris Hilton, that was pretty much
the bomb dot com! {Yes, I do have pcitures but no, I won't be posting them on the web- I much rather extort him with it and then get goodies =)}

Mel said...

You're right - I think Ted does make a better Harry Potter than Daniel Radcliffe. You both looked great! (as always)

Natalie said...

We took Alexandria out trick-or-treating for the first time with her BFF Emilie (they're 3!) and they were epically cute.

Then, we came back, ate chips and salsa and watched "It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown." Awesome.

manda said...

I went to the a big party at Utah State University. There were over 2000 people there and it was too crowded and too hot. But I dressed up as a gypsie and that was a lot of fun! Your costumes are super cute :) I love your blog!!!

Lala said...

Love the costumes!

I went as a 1 eyed 1 horned flying purple people eater, and my husby was Swine Flu! A doctor outfit/mask with pig ears/nose and wings with kleenex on them! and a syringe! lol

Holly Larson said...

mjMuffin said...

Halloween for me this year was defined by dressing up in full pink as Frenchie from Grease. I was all dropped out of school with my pink dress, pink wig, pink ladies jacket, pink sunglasses.. etc. It was three people's birthday at my dorm so of course we celebrated with brownies and other deliciousness. Unfortunately there was no trick or treating involved for the first time in my life!! I'm still sad about that! I was the only one who gave out candy in my dorm, I put out one of those 79c pumpkin buckets from walmart full of dumdum lollies and other sugary candies. The festivities ended around 12:30 when everyone went to bed.. but my brother and I had too much tacos and brownies for sleep time so we walked down to the beach in the middle of the night with under all the stars and super bright moon. Then around 2:30am or 1:30 am..?? [i hate daylight savings adjustments!] we went back to the dorm for a movie but he picked Gattica.. weird but I guess it was okay. Sleep didn't arrive until 4:45ish.. Overall I had a good time. <3

Yvonne said...

You two look so cute. Glad you had a great time.

We stayed home and gave out candy--to our 8 or 10 trick or treaters ; (

Mikaela said...

Your costume is sooo cute!

Rugergirl said...

I dressed up as a headless bride. I won all the costume contests, but only took one prize. No need to be greedy. You guys look SUPERDUPER! lol

The Gomes Family said...

I was a pilgrim because I found this hideous dress at a thrift store for 4 bones so I totally got it! Totally floor to neck ugly thing! My daughter was a ghost and a pumpkin! Awesome witchin time!

Danielle and Clint said...

Hubby and I were hippies :-). His costume was way better than mine. But he had more time to spend on it. We had a Halloween Party October 24 to celebrate with our friends.

Great costumes!

Lauren said...

Oh so fun!
Love your costumes!!!

Renschke Christians said...
