August 5th is International Beer Day. That’s right, a whole day dedicated to celebrating beer (other than Oktoberfest of course). So I’ve decided to dress up as the most famous beer I know – Duff Beer, but more specifically Surly Duff of Simpsons fame. I feel like I should have known this day existed before now. I…

Day 34: Heroes Day
July 31 is known as Heroes Day in Malaysia where they remember war heroes. With this theme of Heroes Day, I have chosen instead to dress up as a character from Heroes, Claire Bennet. Claire was the high-school cheerleader with the power of rapid cellular regeneration. You know what they say: save cheerleader, save world. Photo Credit:…
Day 27: Rainy Day
Today’s theme was a costume I had planned for a rainy day. Pun intended. When I think rain, I think wellingtons and when I think wellingtons, I think Paddington Bear.

Day 23: Colombian Independence Day
July 20th celebrates the independence declaration of Colombia from Spain in 1810. So I’ve decided to dress up as the famous Colombian actress, Sofia Vergara from Modern Family. A hard one to really capture, but I think my generic ethnic look coupled with the photo frame (from the Modern Family opening titles) kind of gets me there. …
Day 21: Marine Day
So Monday was Marine day (say that 20 times fast) and rather than miss out on a great theme, I’ve chosen to do it a couple of days late. It’s a Japanese national holiday celebrated on the third Monday of July, so if this was 2011 I’d be spot on. For such an occasion I…
Day 16: Blossom
If you were a young girl growing up in the 90’s there is an 85% chance that you owned a Blossom hat. From that 85%, there is a remarkably lower percent that still owns said hat, of whom I am a part of. And with that I bring you today’s theme: Blossom. Please note: Both…
Day 12: Gleek
Glee + Geek = Gleek. Today I’ve taken my inspiration from the preppy character Blaine from Glee (but with more sequins) to put together this gleeky outfit. If you hadn’t noticed already, I like shiny. Photo Credit: Wayne Gretski Glasses: REAL prescription Calvin Klein White Button Shirt: Temp Black Bow Tie: Big W…
Day 8: Joey Jeremiah
If you were a kid growing up in the 90’s in Australia, then there is a high probability that you have watched Degrassi Junior High. A teen drama that followed the lives of a group of students in junior high tackling adult issues. That, or you saw the remake they did a couple of years ago that…
Day 4: Canada Day
The 1st of July is Canada Day. So what better way to spend it then dressed up as my favourite fictional Canadian character: Robin Scherbatsky…or rather, Robin Sparkles. For anyone who isn’t an avid fan of How I Met Your Mother, Robin Sparkles is the teen-aged Robin Scherbatsky’s alter ego which she used during her time as a…
