Mwahahaha! It’s the best holiday in the calendar, even if you don’t get a day off work.
Halloween is an excuse for parties staying in with a spooky DVD and a Halloween cocktail and generally not having any obligations to buy presents or visit people you only see once a year.
I’ve been looking forward to posting my Halloween outfit. So here is my pumpkin Halloween costume look. I’m not really dressed as a Pumpkin, more channeling essence of Pumpkin.
❤ Pumpkin Fascinator – Betsy Hatter ❤ Orange Dress – Tu at Sainsburys ❤
❤ Leather Obi Belt – ASOS ❤ Green Tights – Primark ❤ Red Shoes – Red or Dead ❤
❤ Bracelets – Vintage ❤
My hair is basically what my hair looks like when I wet set it and don’t brush it out properly, but I added a bit of backcombing to the roots to add more volume and structure so it didn’t drop throughout the evening. My make up I LOVE. I would wear my make up like this every day if people wouldn’t look at me like I was crazy. It’s a vivid shimmery green eyeshadow from Bourjois applied very heavily and Chanel Rouge Noir lipstick that I bought after a boozy lunch when it was trendy and is therefore now so old that it should really be in the bin. But it isn’t and I still wear it so I will probably die of some hideous lipstick induced disease very shortly.
But enough about me! On with the important bit of all the costumes that were sent in for my Halloween Blog Party! They were all amazing! Some people sent more than one, but I’ve chosen my favourite for the party. So come in, grab yourself some spooky punch and a plate of finger food and everybody meet…..

But I’m afraid the winner of the Halloween tat this year has to be Mabel, even though I’m terrified of spiders! She took a particular shine to the light up ghost and asked her Mummy to upload her costume so at least I know my tat will be truly appreciated!
Awww, so cute!! I’m glad Mabel won….although there are some super outfits from your other entrants too. I’m very impressed!
I absolutely love your Pumpkin outfit, your hair looks really cute like that! x
Oh how adorable is that little spider costume!
LOVING your homage to the orangest of the squash family, especially the glitter shoes OF COURSE. I am not sure if I will dress up today, I have stocked up on haribo for the kiddies (not rubbish teens) who come trick or treating and may have a pumpkin latte at Starbucks later. Low key.
Every Starbucks I have been in lately has sold out of Pumpkin Latte. It’s like Egg Nogg latte all over again. GET MORE IN PEOPLE!
LOVE Katie’s Comic book get up! Inspired!! But – Mabel is a worthy winner x
Oh my those shoes are lush!
I love your pumpkin outfit! and the spidery one, of course!
Cool! I’m Australian so Halloween is still only marginally celebrated but I love the idea of dressing up and just going crazy with your clothes! I really love your green eyeshadow and Mabel is adorable! x
Mabel deserves the tat, she’s the most awesome little spider ever!
Super costumes! I do like the Sally one.
I still own a lipstick dating from about 1995. I don’t try it on very often, but it hasn’t killed me yet!
