Vampire

Here's a post from CasaSugar Community member — and Sugar staffer! — Diana Nguyen from the Lovely Little Vignettes group:

A couple of weeks ago, I went to a bridal event with my bride-to-be friend in Orange County, CA. The venue was spacious, the food was pleasant, but this eye-catching tablescape really took the metaphorical wedding cake. OK, so it's not necessarily a "little" vignette, but it's undeniably beautiful. The designers were given the word "glamorous" as the theme. And upon conceptualizing their design, they thought of two very glamorous ideas: Old Hollywood and vampires. Apparently, Catherine, creative director of Three Petals, is a die-hard Twilight mom. She said she liked the idea of diamonds and forbidden love, velvet, and bold hues of pink. I especially love the chairs!

You can see more pics of this edgy-chic tablescape here.

Have you spotted any beautiful arrangements lately? Be sure to share your photos with the Lovely Little Vignettes group!

Right around this time last year, I provided you with some easy instructions on how to
zombify your photos by using a website called Picnik. And with my new vampire obsession — thanks to Twilight and Vampire Diaries — I thought I'd show you a simple way to digitally transform yourself into a blood-sucking vampire, fangs and all.

Once again using Picnik's amazing effects, just navigate yourself to the left side of the page and click on the Halloween tab. At the very top you should see all of the vampire options to start transforming your face. Just upload a photo and click on the desired effect to get started. All Edward Cullen-inspired features are free to use, except the VampiraScope option is for premium members only. Take a good close look at those scary red eyes!

I already showed you ten vampire gadgets and appliances that bleed power when you're not home, and if you haven't taken my tips to heart just yet, you can now find out exactly how much cash you're losing with the Vampire Power Calculator.

Just enter in how many hours a week you use a given gadget, and the app will serve up a rundown on how much energy and money you're wasting each year, what kind of power vampire you are, and tips on how to stop the madness. Plus, there are fun quizzes and games to get you in line so your gadgets and appliances will stop sucking your wallet dry for good. And don't worry, if you're strapped for cash already, this app is totally free.

With all this talk of vampires — and the most Fab vamps of all — there couldn't be a better time than this Halloween to channel a vampiress. You know the look: bloody fangs, bloodshot eyes, maroon nails, spikes, velvet, black corsets, pointy pumps. The more brooding the better. It's up to you which route you want to go, sexy or all-out scary. Just know that you might not be the only vampiress on the block. But hey, a little vamp competition might be fun!
