“Hot girl summer” has a whole new meaning in t “Hot girl summer” has a whole new meaning in the south. Love this humidity for us. 🔥🤪 Had to snap a pic before we left yesterday because I knew I would be a mess by the time we got there. What’s the weather like where you are?

I am deeply obsessed with this dress. The cutouts are flattering and not too much and it really highlights your curves. You can also wear a real bra or a nursing bra with it and in the summer that is just ideal.

I’m wearing a L and it is roomy but still flattering. This dress is also on major sale today for $21! Linking it in the @shop.ltk app! https://liketk.it/3IA9s

There are some new faces around here so first of a There are some new faces around here so first of all, hello! Thank you so much for being here. 👋🏻 Please say “hello” in the comments and let me know your favorite beverage. You’ll learn quickly that I drink a LOT of Diet Coke. 🥤

I thought it might be a good idea to reintroduce myself. So here are a few quick facts about me!

1. I live just outside of Atlanta. I have bopped all over the Atlanta area and lived and worked on all sides of the city before happily settling down back in my hometown. I NEVER thought I would live in the same zip code where I grew up, but I love that this is where we have decided to put down roots and start our family.
2. Speaking of family, I met my husband, Stephen, in college. He was my blind date to a sorority party. (I’m a ZTA 🍓👑) We got married in October of 2016 and had our first baby (Benjamin) in March 2021! 
3. I also have two adorable pets, Molly and Mimosa. 🐶🐱 Mimosa was featured in the Atlanta Humane Society calendar last year as Miss May! ✨
4. I primarily share midsize style for the in-between bodies on my blog, Instagram and LTK app! I have been between sizes 8-16 over the past few years, so I know a few things about dressing a midsize body. I just released my midsize style guide yesterday, and you can instantly download it from my blog! (Helengbailey.com) 
5. As a former certified event planner, I love to share holiday and party planning inspo on my platforms. Halloween is my favorite though, and I have already started shooting Halloween content. 🕷 This year is going to be the biggest and best year yet! In addition to party planning ideas, Ben and I are sharing more mom and son costume ideas, and Ben in a costume is just my favorite! 😍

Thank you so, so much for being here! I work hard on this little side hustle and can’t keep it going without you. I’m so grateful for your engagement, clicks, likes and comments. Please do not ever hesitate to reach out! I LOVE to hear from you! Happy Friday! 💕

The Ultimate Couple’s Halloween Costume Guide

Halloween is kind of becoming the equivalent of Valentine’s Day. When you’re in a relationship, or heck even going to a sorority party in college with a date, the conversation of a couple’s costume comes up. However, some of them are horribly cheesy. I don’t want to blatantly brand Stephen and humiliate him in front of our friends, so I try to come up with ideas that are clever but that he would like too. This excludes our first Halloween party where we went as Popeye and Black Swan. Call me crazy, but I don’t think those two ever crossed paths except in sorority land.

Based on every time I log into Pinterest, I would have to guess the top costumes this year are going to be: Pennywise, a unicorn, Wonder Woman, and Beauty and the Beast. However, if you want some more ideas, I came up with this list of 100 couple’s Halloween costumes! I’ve broken them down into categories so you can pick the perfect one for you and your person.

I’ve even included a few examples of costumes we have done in the past. Obviously, the photo quality is spectacular, but here we go!

    This is such a great post of ideas! My husband and I did Waynes World a couple of years ago and I loved it. We did Mario and Luigi once too. This year we’re going to be a family of donuts though at the request of my son. 🙂

    October 18, 2017 at 10:58 am

    This is a great list! So extensive. I love that you guys dress up together every year! My time has now taken me to dressing up as a family (this year we’re bring trolls). But if we ever get a halloween out together, I would love to use some of these ideas.

  3. Nicole Green says

    October 18, 2017 at 11:12 am

    Love how thorough your list is! There’s so many fun costume possibilities out this year; I’m excited to see what you all go as this year!

    These are such good ideas! I can never decide on what I want to be and my fiance never wants to dress up. But I love Halloween mainly because I get to use a lot of glitter or fake blood. I love makeup 🙂

    We will be doing Jim and Pam next year! ? but I plan on making the kids be characters too ? we were going to be Juno and Pualie Beeker this Halloween since I’m super pregnant, but went with a different theme instead. These ideas are great!!

  16. Nita Ho says

    October 20, 2017 at 5:57 am

    Love them! My husband never joins in when we dress up, which is such a shame! I think we would have so much fun doing it, but then its only fun when the other person also enjoys it! You have done a great job!

    I love dressing up for Halloween, but my honey isn’t the biggest fan. I try to find costumes in our closets each year since I know he doesn’t REALLY wanna dress up anyway. Last year we went as clark kent/superman and lois lane. I love these ideas!
