DIY Louis Vuitton Pumpkin

DIY Louis Vuitton Pumpkin via Sweet Paul Magazine Fall 2010 Issue 2

Need a last minute chicly decorated pumpkin? Sweet Paul Magazine, a free online magazine filled with superb layouts and wonderful photography showcasing tasty recipes and great ideas on crafts, table settings, home décor and more, all for the entire family, has immediate solutions for us. This month, they provide us with plenty of do-it-yourself decorating techniques to innovatively garnish our annual Halloween pumpkin!

This Louis Vuitton inspired design simply uses Sharpie oil-based pens. Create your own stencil or free hand the iconic logo and motifs. They’ve also come up with a charming studded pumpkin design that pays homage to fashion designer Alexander McQueen, quirky attention-grabbing mini fashionista pumpkins cleverly created from magazine cutouts, plus several more novel DIY pumpkin ideas displayed throughout the magazine.

It makes no difference whether we plan to decorate the outside or the inside of our homes. Or, even gift-give some pumpkins. Thanks to the peeps at Sweet Paul Magazine, now, we certainly have some “easy peasy,” but still clever ideas to help us create a festive, fashionable and fun Halloween!

Looking for a last minute spirited outfit to wear to a Halloween party? Not interested in an overly intensive costume? At last, a solution! The folks over at Martha Stewart created these adorable Googly-Eyed fashion accessories to celebrate the occasion. We can adorn our heels or inexpensive plastic bangle bracelets, simply by gluing on these wiggle baubles. Supplies are easily accessible at craft stores. Incorporate them with solid colored pieces in the rest of the outfit like all black or all forest green, so that these spooky kooky accessories stand out in the crowd and all eyes remain on us.

Stylish iPad Carrying Cases

Acase Leather Flip Book Jacket/Folio – $22.95
SGP Leather Case Vintage Edition for Apple iPad – $72.99
Oscar de la Renta Perlized Taupe iPad Clutch – $390 (L-R)

Can you believe the holidays are just around the corner? Many of us who do not yet have iPads will be reminding Santa’s elves that we have been verrry good this year.

Along with the iPad tablet, we will undoubtedly be requesting a case to protect our newly cherished gift. We want our iPad cases to be slim and lightweight, so that we can easily carry or toss them into our carryall tote bag. We also require one that has effortless design functionality and is made with material that allow us to get a good grip on the case, yet is durable and protective. Of course, it goes without saying that our case must have panache!

Look at these three different versions of iPad cases. All meet our criteria and they are available at various price points. The Acase Leather Flip Book Jacket has a folio style with a sturdy multiple viewing angle stand, the SGP Leather Case Vintage Edition is meant to always remain attached to the iPad and won’t interfere with docking or usage, and the Oscar de la Renta Perlized iPad Clutch is a stunning well-crafted easily accessible sleeve version that is available in other gorgeous materials too.

Do you think if we add our favorite iPad case to our holiday wish lists, there might be an iPad inside?!
