Naomi deMañana Style editor at large Home base: Riverdale, the Bronx. Years with Martha: 11. Costumes created for Living: 25-plus. Halloween muses: “I’m drawn to dark, nostalgic ideas and classic horror films. I once went as Patrick Bateman from American Psycho.” Mini mojo: “I dressed up Violet (below, top) and Atreus (bottom) until they turned 4. Now they plan their own outfits—this year, they’ll be villains from their favorite shows.”

Martha goes all out on Halloween— no costume is too terrifying. For this shocker, she channeled Richard Prince’s Park Avenue Nurse painting with colored contact lenses, red lipstick, and several cc’s of fake blood. Talk about an overnight sensation. @marthastewart48

Every fall, home editor and avid knitter Lorna Aragon counts the days until the New York State Sheep & Wool Festival, in Rhinebeck, New York: “People go to buy yarn and tools, but I love seeing the sheep, goats, and especially herding dogs up close.”
