7 Halloween Decorations to Use All Season

7 Halloween Decorations to Use All Season

ONE | TWO | THREE | FOUR | FIVE | SIX | SEVEN

I almost hate to breathe a word about Halloween and catapult us right to the end of October, but the undeniable crispness in the air along with my first seasonal sip of pumpkin beer the other night has put me in the mood for fall. And with autumn comes the desire to introduce some moodier decor into our home with a little bit of pre-Halloween shopping. It seems I’m not the only one, either. Retailers are pulling out the macabre merchandise earlier and earlier each year.

Aside from a few Target jack-o’-lanterns, I don’t have much in the way of Halloween-specific decorations — which is exactly what I prefer. I think Halloween decorations are best when they’re not limited to one spooky night of the year. I’ve rounded up seven seasonal decorations and serving pieces that are a little dark and a little moody, but would work just as well with your autumnal decor as they do on Oct. 31.

That pumpkin ale, however, is limited to a one-and-done endeavor.

The Weekend Guide

LEARN
In an increasingly digital — and photo heavy — age, there’s immense pressure to always work our best angles. There’s nothing wrong with that, as Garance Doré points out, but there’s also more to life.

DAYDREAM
We’re starting to look at houses, which is as nerve-wracking and intimidating as it is exciting! We actually found a small ’50s home that had been completely renovated. I’m crazy about it, but it doesn’t have a place to eat, aside from a tiny “eat-in kitchen” area that wouldn’t fit four adults. And, it really bothers me. It’s also $50,000 over what I wanted to spend. In the meantime, I’m stashing money away for the big day and daydreaming about home decor. I’m loving this inspiration post.

STEP
The New York Times goes inside the mind of Karl Lagerfeld.

SHAKE
Classic cocktails are long overdue for a comeback. Toss four ingredients into a shaker this weekend and take flight with an aviation.

SAVE
Loeffler Randall’s Friends & Family Sale is in full force (use code SQUADGOALS). I’ve wanted these star-studded sandals for years. Silver is the only color remaining in my size and I had my heart set on gold, so we’ll see if these finally make their way to my closet.

SWOON
This three-year-old will put your Halloween costume to shame. (She should find a Choupette lookalike and go as Karl next year.)

NOTABLE SALES
20% off full-price clothing at Anthropologie.
25% off at Kate Spade’s Friends & Family sale. (A fox hat is a reasonable purchase, right?)
Saks Fifth Avenue is offering 25% off most items and 20% off jewelry.

FIVE UNDER $55

EARLIER THIS WEEK
I’ve worn a windowpane mini dress on repeat. (Seriously, three times this week…)
This post skewed a bit Alice in Wonderland, but I like it.
A necklace that’s as versatile as a LBD.
Couldn’t pass up an opportunity to snap a photo on a cute floor.

BEAUTIFY
Give your blog’s brand a quick makeover with these easy fixes.

COMPARE
Now that Halloween candy is out in full force, you should read this comprehensive comparison guide to figure out which mini versions are better than their full-size counterparts.

WEAR
This season’s jewelry goes big, bold, and sculptural. Find inspiration in this slideshow.

SIP
I’m instituting an at-home cocktail hour once the weather turns cold enough to keep us indoors after work on Fridays. This autumn cocktail with apple and maple syrup sounds like the perfect way to kickoff the budding tradition.

LEARN
The first episode of Sex and the City premiered 17 years ago. (Holy crap, right?) Here’s how the series still holds up today — and how things have changed.

ESCAPE
Key West has never been on my list of must-visit places, until I came across this guide on Vogue.com.

FINDS UNDER $55

EARLIER THIS WEEK
A ’70-inspired dress I can’t stop wearing.
A beautiful, sweetly scented orange water candle.
The latest addition to my handbag collection.
A bit of plaid for fall.

I’m challenging myself to get through a backlog I’m challenging myself to get through a backlog of travel photos before we book our next trip. First up, photos of the gothic York Minster. I’m not religious in the slightest but I can’t resist stunning architecture and the opportunity to climb hundreds of cathedral stairs for a city view. This one only had a single rest stop about halfway up the flight of 275 steps for a closeup view of the flying buttresses — and a waiver you had to sign before your ascent to promise you’re healthy enough to make it.

Visiting York earlier this month put us in the Hal Visiting York earlier this month put us in the Halloween spirit. While it claims to be the most haunted place in Europe and is dubbed the city of a thousand ghosts, we only encountered the wire-mesh sculptures of Ghosts in the Gardens (@the_york_bid) and the family of souvenir ghosts I brought home from @yorkghostmerchants.
