Once upon a time...


This Halloween, Mike and I were looking to do something different. We decided that it was long overdue that we drove up to Edmonton to see our good friends Dominique and Graeme!

We had planned to find costumes last minute and go out for a night on the town! We went to a couple places in West Edmonton Mall looking a different outfits, but sadly... if you want to buy a cool costume, you have to spend $100+ !

...now that is just silly when you can go and buy REAL clothes for less than that.

We thought we would go to Value Village to get creative when Dominique had a brilliant idea!

Dom is a music teacher, and thought it might be fun to check out the costume closet at her school. So that is what we did. We got into the costume closet and had lots of fun picking though wigs and dresses and...

farm animal costumes.



I couldn't resist the plush elephant head & leggings that I found and soon had my outfit put together. Mike found himself a sheep costume, Graham a wolf costume, and Dominique a duck.







We decided that since we had found a cheap way to cheat halloween, we would avoid the cover charges at all of the pubs downtown and opted for a night IN, with our costumes and a few cocktails.







Haha... well that night IN, turned into a night of photographs... because that is what we do best. Sadly, Mike fell asleep before the photo shooting goodness... so I can't show you how hot he was as a sheep.



Shh... Mike is sleeping...





Dominique threw a "superhero" themed birthday party for Graeme last year, and had these HOT costumes. So why NOT get a few photos? I love these ones! You guys make hot models.




We did end up going back to West Edmonton Mall where I found a great shirt at Urban Outfitters! I LOVE that store... it's a good thing that there isn't one in Calgary. Found some boots too!

Has anyone else been to anthropologie? Dom took me there and it was great!!

I hope that everyone had a fun & safe Halloween!

Happy November!
