All About the Comfort

As it gets colder outside, and also due to having pretty bad tummy cramps this week (damn being a girl!), I have taken to dressing a lot more casual than usual. In fact, last night I went round my boyfriend's flat and it was the first time I hadn't made so much of an effort.

Didn't take a photo but this is like what I was wearing

I wore baggy jeans, a vest top and a pale grey hoody, and the surprise was that he thought I looked cute in the outfit! I thought I looked like a 12 year old boy personally, but it was comfy, and that's more important than being a sex goddess sometimes (especially in winter).

Spooky Style- Top Ten Halloween Outfits

I am not going out for Halloween this year, so I have no need to get all dressed up, however, I love all the costume ideas available to us girls and have put together a little list of my favourites for those of you getting dressed up. I have also added how I would DIY each outfit for a cheaper alternative to these shop bought ideas!

1. Cat- a classic. Black corset, hot pants, a pair of cat ears and a tail and you're good to go

2. Sexy Witch- the same basics as the cat, but this time with a black hat and suggestively placed broom...

3. Devil Woman - easy to do with a red corset, red hotpants or skirt, devil horns and a pitchfork

4. Ghostbusters- go for beige clothing and black boots, a ghostbusters badge or writing on your chest

5. Great for a couple- Heaven and Hell barbies- one in red, one in  white, with appropriate accessories and sky high heels

6. Burlesque Babe- fishnets, corset, black satin gloves, heels and a period style hairpiece make this outfit

7. Zombie Bride- a little more authentic for an outfit, go for a white dress, dirty it up, add some rips and white fishnets, white heels and a veil, then go for some zombie style makeup to complete the look

8. Vampire Vixen- tight black dress, black and red cape, red or black boots and those all important fangs and done!

9. Naughty Nun- long sleeved black dress, but it must be short! A black headpiece and white collar, white or black fishnets and heels, and a look like butter wouldn't melt on your face

10. Tinkerhell- excuse the bad photo, think classic tinkerbell- little green dress, wings etc, zombiefied up!

What are you going as for Halloween?

To Dress up or not to Dress Up?

I have always been one of those people who saw the mini halloween outfits in shops and thought 'who in their right mind would dress their kid up as a pumpkin?'.....

Last Halloween Cameron was only 6 weeks old, so there was no way I was going to dress him up. This year, however, he is 13 months, and the temptation has struck me. I have held up a couple of outfits to him twice in the last couple of weeks and thought how cute he would look dressed as a skeleton, or a mini dracula, or even, dare I admit it, a pumpkin...

The thing is, we are not going to be trick or treating on Halloween, we aren't even going to a party of any kind. We are spending the Sunday in London visiting my brother, his girlfriend, my dad and sister. So I feel that maybe spending around a tenner on an outfit that he would in reality have on for only a short while, in front of close family, might be a teensy bit of a waste?

What are your thoughts on dressing kids up in novelty outfits on festive occassions? Are you going to be dressing your little one up this year?

30 Day Beauty Blog Challenge: Day 05 — An outfit that is totally you

Hmmm... this one is quite hard as my appearance changes depending on how I feel.... At the moment, I would say that this is an outfit that sums up me right now:

It's simple and easy to put together, just some skinny jeans and a simple black t-shirt, but I like the way it looks and it is really casual for doing the chores or going food shopping. Uncomplicated.

Graduation Outfit: Opinions Please!

This is what I am planning on wearing to my Graduation in November. I need to think what to do about the top being see through... Should I wear something under it or do I just need to change my bra? Opinions please!

These are the shoes I have bought for the graduation (and the meal afterwards!)
