Weekend Reads | 10-30

Happy Friday everyone and welcome to another Weekend Reads.

I can hardly believe it’s already almost Halloween, the election, and the start of holiday shopping.  We’re doing a cool promotion at Confête for voting, so make sure to read on!

What’s new over here this week?  We’ve been working on ordering all the finishes for the house.  Things like knobs, bathroom sconces, etc.  Interesting knobs were hard to find, but I stumbled upon Top Knobs, and they have a great range of options for your knob needs.

And I’ve been working on our spring and summer plans for 2021 for Confête.  A few of my favorite trends ahead: lilac, “everyday exuberance,” and woven, picnic-friendly accessories.

Also getting ready for Halloween…

Ideas on how to make Halloween festive and fun this year while staying in.  This year, we’re doing a low key Hocus Pocus movie night with friends over Zoom.  Planning on making some festive food and drink:

A Corpse Reviver sounds like an ideal Halloween cocktail.

One of the things I love making on Halloween is vodka soaked gummy bears.

Yummm…a cider sidecar.   Or a Black Widow cocktail.

A good punch with dry ice is always a fun option.

This is a great round-up of Halloween-inspired dinners.  I really like the spaghetti with eyeballs/meatballs.

A list of the best classic scary movies.

We still have no idea what we’re going to be.  This IG post is a hilarious way to decide your costume this year.

Also, from the archives, a post on last minute Halloween costume ideas.

The Rhode Ella dress has been super popular over the years, here’s a great fall dupe dress under $100.  AND 20% off when you show you voted…see below.

Sephora is having their blow-out sale (more picks below), but a few of the products I’ve been using during quarantine for everyday makeup:  this skin tint with SPF, glowy primer, my holy grail bronzer/highlighter.

An easy, budget-friendly way to bring a little spa into your home.

I absolutely love this $59 mirror.

Target is having a BOGO 50% off on women’s sweaters.  This color of this pullover is gorgeous.

I’m working on doing a whole piece on the best drugstore lipsticks and lip liners.  I bought about 25 of them to try out!  But I couldn’t resist sharing how good this lip liner is (and it’s $3!!!).

Considering this beautiful rattan vanity for our bathroom.
