Hot n' Trendy Halloween

Hot n' Trendy Halloween by h2-z

In spite of the fact that many people here on the East Coast are postponing their festivities due to the effects of Hurricane Sandy, it's still Halloween! You don't have to be in costume to enjoy the holiday, whether or not you're actually celebrating it, but why not spooky it up anyway?  Get in the spirit with these Halloween inspired outfits.  

And while our Crystal Clear and Sparkling Slate wrap bracelets and Bellissa Large Scrap Leather Satchel look particularly good with skulls and black cats, we have to confess we think they're worthy of being worn year round. 

Whatever you end up wearing this year, be it costume or classy outfit, we hope that your candy haul is excellent!

And hey! If you do dress up head on over to our facebook wall and let us know what you were this year! 

Happy Halloween!!

Jazz Up Your Scarf

Summer can be a tricky time of year. First you're hot outside with the sun and the mercury sky high, then you're cold as you go inside to that oh-so-climate controlled office. How do you defeat the temperature change? Accessorize with a scarf! If you wear one to work every day, it can get a little old just wrapping it around your neck, so we put together a Polyvore board with a few suggestions on how to keep your scarf style fresh.

National Splurge Day coming up!

This Monday, June 18th, is National Splurge Day! There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of information about where this day comes from, but does it really need an explanation? The name really says it all - who wouldn't want a day dedicated to treating yourself?

Maybe this is the first time you've ever heard of Splurge Day. Well, it's never too soon to study up on some fantastic ideas to splurge on when National Splurge Day rolls around this Monday.

We put together a couple ideas:

Spice up a room!

1. Buy that hardcore, vintage vinyl record you've been eyeballing on eBay.
2. Treat your feet - enjoy the fresh cut grass on your front lawn with a little barefoot frolic and then dash inside for a foot bath, or better yet, head over to spa for a mani-pedi. 
3. Make a feast for the eyes with a few decorative choices that could spice up your living quarters. 
4. Spend some time catching up with someone you haven't seen in a while, have a party, or go to a movie with the gang.
5. Shoes. You can never go wrong with shoes.

With that said, have a great weekend and a wonderful National Splurge Day!

Rosie on the Beach/National Red Rose Day

Today is National Red Rose Day. In light of this we've collected some information from around the web that might help you get into the mood to celebrate these gorgeous flowers.

1. Think about visiting a rose garden today. Busy today? How about going to a Rose Festival in the near future? There are sure to be a plethora of fine flora to please the senses. The best way to appreciate a rose is to smell one, and being in a garden filled with them will make it that much easier.
2. Interested in learning a bit more about roses in general? Check out the American Rose Society to find upcoming conventions, growing tips, and even poetry!
3. If you can't make it out to either a garden or a festival, the best way to enjoy some red roses on National Red Rose Day is to purchase a few and display them proudly around the office or home! If you live in the Rochester, New York area, you might consider stopping by your local Wegmans Florist for some of these lovely beauties! In the same vein, you could always don your best Red Rose themed outfit.
4. Maybe the garden scene isn't what you're looking for right now. It's warm out and you'd rather be at the beach, but you still want to pay homage to Red Rose Day. Flare up your style with some of H2Z's accessories. We have a cute Red Rose and floral inspired beach outfit for you on Polyvore!
