Sweet Lalaloopsy Costume

October 28, 2013 By Lynlee

Crumbs Sugar Cookie costume

The tem­per­a­ture has final­ly dropped here in Las Vegas, which is about time since Hal­loween is a mere three days away! As every year pass­es, my daugh­ter, Anabelle, becomes more and more excit­ed about her cos­tume and going trick-or-treat­ing, which also means I have less and less say as far as the theme goes!  Last  year, she dressed up as Audrey Hep­burn in Break­fast at Tiffany’s. We had a fun time doing a mini pho­to shoot at one of our local Tiffany & Co. stores and were even so for­tu­nate to have received a gift from them!

This year, we began brain­storm­ing ideas and my Lalaloop­sy-obsessed kid­do decid­ed ear­ly on that she want­ed to be one of the ever-so-pop­u­lar lit­tle rag dolls this year. Through­out the years, I have vac­il­lat­ed between home­made and store-bought cos­tumes, but regard­less of the choice, I always like to add a lit­tle DIY ele­ment to it. My daugh­ter picked the lit­tle bak­er char­ac­ter named Crumbs Sug­ar Cook­ie and since I don’t sew, we found a super cute Lalaloop­sy cos­tume on-line at Cel­e­brate Express. I was real­ly impressed with the qual­i­ty of the dress, as well as the wig, which can often be a night­mare! The cos­tume did­n’t come with shoes, but I was for­tu­nate to find a tuto­r­i­al to trans­form rain boots into the per­fect Lalaloop­sy footwear from the blog christhingsss and it worked perfectly!

As we did last Hal­loween, we put togeth­er a lit­tle pho­to shoot over the week­end to cap­ture the sweet­ness of this year’s cos­tume. Over the years, I have learned that these minia­ture pho­to ses­sions have not only aid­ed in cre­at­ing sou­venirs, but also made it eas­i­er to enjoy Hal­loween and trick-or-treat­ing with­out wor­ry­ing about get­ting good pic­tures, espe­cial­ly in the dark! We trans­formed the lit­tle lemon­ade stand that I pur­chased from Joann Fab­ric and Craft stores a few years back {which has got­ten a lot of use late­ly in our Vin­tage Hawai­ian Luau and Let Me Take You to Rio par­ties ear­li­er this year} into a bak­ery stand. We also includ­ed the lit­tle oven from our Pot­tery Barn Kids’ kitchen set {also seen in our Baked with Love par­ty} to set the scene. Along with some of her favorite Lalaloop­sy toys, my lit­tle ham… I mean, doll… said it was one of her favorite cos­tumes and shoots ever!

Along with trick-or-treat­ing on Hal­loween, we are also dec­o­rat­ing our car for a Trunk-or-Treat event at my daugh­ter’s school this week! I’ve nev­er par­tic­i­pat­ed in this type of event in the past, so I was thank­ful for the dec­o­rat­ing tips gen­er­ous­ly offered by Mari­ah at Gig­gles Galore! Anabelle decid­ed she want­ed our trunk to resem­ble scenes from the clas­sic Hal­loween car­toon “It’s the Great Pump­kin, Char­lie Brown”, so I’ll be shar­ing the pic­tures of how it all turned out soon! {check it out here!}

And for addi­tion­al tips for tak­ing fun Hal­loween pho­tos, check out the infor­ma­tive post by my sweet friend, Jen­ny Dixon of Craft That Par­ty fea­tured on the edi­TO­R­I­al blog!

Are you done with this year’s Hal­loween cos­tumes yet?! ♥

Merci Beaucoup!
