Halloween kisses

Halloween, although big in the states, is hardly a big deal in South Africa.

However, pretty much everyone I know loves to dress up, so Halloween gets her fair share of celebrating, despite that fact that you won't see pumpkins or skeletons decorating any lawns. It's actually mainly the dressing up that we partake in, and that's about it. (Some kids trick or treat but they have to visit quite a few houses as many folk forget to buy sweets as the shops here don't make a fuss over halloween candy)

This year we headed to a friend's beach cottage down in Umzumbe for a  little shindig. I didn't take too many pics, but I did instagram a few...

I baked a batch of angry spider cupcakes

we may not have pumpkins but we do have oranges...

Day of the dead, pocahontas and a hobo

The Boyfriend and I

and of course I had to make my nails halloween appropriate

Happy Halloween

This year for Halloween I opted to go as the intrepid explorer Wally / Waldo. As a kid I had many of his books and could spend hours paging through, looking not only for Wally, but taking in all the other awesome details going on in the books!

So yeah, he's not entirely scary, but hey, I love the chance to dress up and quite frankly Twilight has ruined vampires for me anyway.
