Pumpkins scream in the dead of night.

It probably isn't surprising that I'm a total child about Halloween. Given my affinity for fancy dress (I JUST LOVE IT) any annual event that celebrates the activity is fine with me.

With all that said, I'm not actually dressing up this year due to a woeful lack of invites. It's fine, I'm going out dancing instead (sans devil horns). However, if you're struggling to find costume inspiration this year, I thought I'd share my favourite recent costume (so good I wore it twice!).

CREEPY DOLL.


It's the easiest - and most effective - fancy dress I've ever done. It's pretty much all about the lipstick, to be honest, but adding tight pin-curled ringlets and paaaale, super matte makeup really completes the effect. And if you're anything like me, you'll have an epic collection of cute dresses to choose from.


Also, it's good for freaking out kiddies. WIN.

This costume was thought of before I heard of Jonathan Coulton, but now that I have, this song pretty much says it all.

  2. What a brilliant costume idea! Like usual, I waited way too long to decide what to be and was planning on resorting to my usual Hermione since it's easy-peasy. But these is even better! And totally do-able with what's already in my closet. Thanks for the idea. :)

  7. I did this outfit once! Wasn't as cool as this though with the eyelashes and lipstick. I put my hair in pig tails though because I just can't curl my hair at all.
