HAPPY HALLOWEEN TIME TO CELEBRATE… BOO!
16th October 2016
It’s one of my fav times of the year ……Halloween is almost upon us! I know it probably sounds a little strange to say I prefer this time over Christmas and even New Years but the thing is all other occasions including Valentine’s Day I feel so much pressure and so much thought and planning has to go into. While Halloween much like Bonfire Night is all about having fun and hanging with people you love!!
My earliest memory of Halloween is being like 10-years-old and being obsessed with pumpkins, trick or treat and witches! It felt like a different world almost like a time to become a character in a kids book or movie. As I got older we would sneak into late night horror movies and freak out but love it!! It became a ritual to get together and watch scary movies like Saw and Nightmare on Elm Street!
Now I think it has become more about dressing up in a costume or as a famous person and going out and getting your party on! I’m not quite sure how the whole dressing up as you fav celeb got introduced but maybe it stemmed from dressing up as your fav scary movie character like Freddy Krueger and Poison Ivy. Celebs have also now made it soooo sexy too which I quite love if I’m honest, it’s the only time of the year you can dress trashy and get away with it, LOL!
Check out some of my fav past looks from Kim Kardashian & Kanye West as Catwoman & Batman plus Rihanna and her mates as the Ninja Turtles! Plus I have picked some make-up looks you could try and have fun with this year!! Happy Halloween babes here are some tips on stuff you could do if you are not going to a house party in London!

I am a huge fan of Halloween and it is definitely my favorite day of the whole year! In Germany Halloween is still so underrated. It’s sad cause I think we still could do a lot more to make it more present here. I would choose it over christmas and New Years. Scary stuff has always been my thing!
Thank you for dedicating this awesome post to my favorite day.
