Halloween Costumes and More at Oriental Trading

When I was about seven years old, Halloween was the highlight of October.  Mind you, October is my Birthday Month, so the bar was already pretty high.   The weeks between my birthday and Halloween brought a pretty nasty snow storm.   My siblings and I were so afraid that Halloween would be cancelled but my Mom wasn't having it.  Not sure if she was set on a few hours of us out of the house or if she wanted those chocolate bars... Either way, she bundled us up and told us our new costumes for the year were "Eskimos."  What was so special about this Halloween is as a 32 year old woman, this is the only one that I actually remember. I don't remember the candy I got.  I don't remember if my brother and sister had a great time while we froze our fingers off.  I simply remember that costume choice!


Costumes are a huge deal when you're a child.  You get to pick your favorite character for that small span of time and being that character for a few hours out of the day is a pretty awesome thing.   This year my family and I turned to Oriental Trading for the children's costumes.  We scoured the website for what felt like hours.  There are so many choices for both children and adults!   Allyson decided she wants to be a Police Officer and Cooper chose Fred Flintstone.  I personally love Cooper's choice!  He took me right back to my childhood with that one! 

Right along with costume choices, Oriental Trading has candy, decorations, and really great ideas for parties!  Each year, we have a Halloween Party with the Girl Scout troop and I get my supplies from Oriental Trading.  Definitely take a look and see what you can find that fits whatever theme you may be hosting.  


What costume will you be wearing this year?   I'd love to hear about any Halloween plans you have in the comments.   Happy Halloween!

Grab your Elsa Costume at Costume Super Center -- Review

Disclosure:  I received one or more products in this post in exchange of an honest review.  All opinions are my own.

Every little girl loves to play dress up.   Even as women we love to play dress up with our every day wardrobes.  Earrings, hair color, dresses and even shoes can be a special part of our day.  That being said, I was certainly not surprised when Allyson received a special surprise from Costume Super Center and wore it for days!


Allyson is in love with dressing like Elsa from Disney's Frozen.  I am in love with the quality of this costume!  The stitching is tight and netting hasn't torn after at least 20 times of Ally being Elsa!  She thinks an appearance at dinner as well as homework time is needed.  One time she took the dress off to take a shower and put it back on afterward!


Like I mentioned above, this dress is make with great quality.  It is true to size.  I knew the sleeves would be a little baggy for Ally as most shirts are in her real size.  Any little girl would be so happy to have this costume to visit her Elsa side.  The length is great and it is easy to slip on and off.  The clasp in the back is velcro.


There are so many great accessories to go along with this costume.  An Elsa wig, shoes, wand, tiara and even an accessory bag are available for purchase!  I am thinking of pairing up the wig and shoes for Ally's Halloween Costume this year.  She'll look great and be so happy to be her favorite character, Elsa from Frozen!  Check out Costume Super Center's website and on Facebook to see what other great costumes are available.
