Blogoween! Part 1

Hello everyone! Recently (mostly due to Bunny) I have been in a super Halloweeny mood and I thought I would try out a "Blogoween" series of posts based loosely on Bunny's Vlogoween youtube series. Today I thought I would try out a costume idea I had for a vampiric, ghoulish boy look. Although I toned it down a bit because I had to go into town with Clem (my sister) and her friend Elisha so it became less of a costume and more of a Halloweeny outfit. 

Today's instagram!

Here is my complete outfit look. Black wedge heel boots, fringed top and a scarf I bought in Brick Lane on Thursday. I would like to try it with much heavier black eye makeup and some heavy nose and cheek contouring to give me more of a ghoul, undead look. This "earring" which I bought in H&M this summer was my favourite part of the look.

Continuing the Halloween theme I thought it was only fitting that we visited the Gothic style cathedral in Peterborough.

At the bus station I saw this advert I remember seeing a news article about. It's to promote equality and combat discrimination. I love how blunt it is, it could have been written by a Finn!

My "wearable" version of the outfit

In Crowland, the small village where my family live, there is a very old Abbey. Clem and I went to the Graveyard to take my Halloween photos as it seemed rather fitting for the "ghoulish" vibe. It's currently under renovation but I still think it's really beautiful.

Autumn is my favourite time of year to be in England, when it's just cold enough that you have to wear a light coat and a scarf and you can collect the chestnuts for roasting on an open fire. When I was little my mum used to make a "witch face" with tinned spaghetti for hair, mini sausages making up a hat shape and a face made from other children's food. I think she is planning on reviving the tradition this year ... let's hope with some healthier, more tasty food!

I hope you all have exciting Halloween plans coming up and are busy working on your costumes. I have a couple of different ideas but I can't choose so I will try them all out over the next week or two.

P.S. I cannot wait to watch my favourite Halloween films again!
