Theme Me: Costume, Fancy Dress & Theme Inspiration

Day 39: International Beer Day

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 38: Johnny Cash Day

I know what you’re thinking, she means Johnny Cash’s birthday… and no, I don’t. August 4 is ACTUALLY Johnny Cash Day. He has a day, who knew? Wikipedia, that’s who. Photo Credit: Holmes Black Suit: EM (My brothers) Black Shirt: ASOS Black Leather Shoes: Fabiani (my brothers)

Day 37: Jeans for Genes Day

August 3rd is Jeans for Genes day, a day where you can wear your jeans for a good cause – raising money for children’s medical research – you can donate here! I’ve never been so proud to dress up in a Canadian suit in my life. My personal favourite touch – the jean waistband bow headband…homemade…

Day 36: Republic of Macedonia

August 2 is the Republic Day of Macedonia, so I decided to dress up as the Macedonian flag. It’s a bit of a random one, but turned out quite funny. Photo Credit: Wayne Gretski Yellow Head Scarf: My Mothers Red Dress: Glassons Yellow Stripes: Printed and Pinned Paper Red Opaque Tights: ASOS Berry…

Day 35: World Scout Day

August 1st celebrates the anniversary of the first day of the Brownsea Island Camp in 1907, where Robert Baden-Powell began scouting. It is known as World Scout Day. While I have never been a scout, I feel as if I am in spirit because I’m always prepared (seriously, like organised to the shizzle) and I like cookies….

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 33: Arnold Schwarzenegger

Today is Arnold Schwarzenegger’s 65th birthday. In honour of this great 80’s action hero, I have chosen to dress in a Terminator theme. I can honestly say that I have seen Terminator 2: Judgement Day more times than anyone I know. Mostly because when we used to visit my cousins house when I was little, this was…

Day 32: Amy Winehouse

A couple of days ago marked a year since Amy Winehouse’s death. One of many talented musicians to die at the age of 27, also known as 27 Club, or Forever 27 Club. Photo Credit: Billy Rubin Red Bandanna: Hot Dollar Red Bra: Cotton On Body White Singlet: Cotton On Black Tights: Cotton On Ugg Boots:…

Day 31: Onesie

So tonight I have been invited to a Wigs and Onesie’s party. And as you may have guessed, rather than owning/wearing a regular onesie, I have one that turns me into a penguin #winning This is possibly the most comfortable costume known to man-kind.

Day 30: London

In celebration of the London Olympics Opening Ceremony tonight I have taken on the theme of London today. I don’t know about you, but when I think of London, the first image to pop into my head is a punk, circa Sex Pistols days. Get it in ya. Photo Credit: Totally Black Wayfarers:…
