The Monday Rundown: Halloween Edition

Pumpkin-shaped Chocolate Cake: I haven’t actually tried this recipe (since I have zero backing skills) but I love that it’s just two bundt cakes put together with an ice cream cone as the stem.

GAP 1969 Leopard Jeggings: The Current/Elliot version has been all the rage in the blogosphere, and I like them, but I think this darker, more subtle version is a little more me and definitely more versatile.

Bath & Body Works Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin Candle: The combo of cinnamon and pumpkin is absolutely amazing, calming and reminds me of when I lived in New York and we had actual seasons.

LUSH Jacko Bath Bomb: This bath bomb doesn’t actually smell like pumpkin.  However, the spicy clove bud and spearmint combo has a lot of gusto and I’m just a big fan of bath bombs in general.

iVillage Makes Finding Your Fall Style Easy

So on Saturday I went shopping with India from Glam.com and Aly from SheKnows.com and I bought my first pair of jeggings.  Yes, ladies, I have to tell you…the Gap’s version is actually a lot more flattering than I thought it would be.  This little shopping excursion made me realize that yes, fall is coming.  Since LA doesn’t really have any seasons, I’ve been kind of oblivious to the season changes and hence, started feeling a little anxious about fall shopping expectations.

This is where iVillage comes in- they’re holding a “Find Your Fall Style Challenge.” All you have to do is sign up and you can submit photos of your outfits or accessories to Style Coach, Kim Johnson of Gross of Chic Simple.  She’ll give you advice on the best way to rock it…essentially she’s your free cyber stylist.  And, as a bonus, just for signing up you’ll be automatically entered to win a $100 Target gift card to begin your fall shopping.  Get on this fast.
