Theme Me: Costume, Fancy Dress & Theme Inspiration

Lord Voldemort Harry Potter Costume

Continuing on with my creepy, Halloween appropriate costumes, I have today created a Lord Voldemort, He Who Shall Not Be Named, costume. I know that I’ve already done a Harry Potter costume this month with my Bellatrix Le Strange costume, but I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to show you how easily you could create…

Netflix and Chill Pun Costume

If you’ve been living under a rock for the last year, then you may think that “Netflix and chill” is when you invite someone over to watch Netflix and chill out with each other, and it can be, but more often than not it’s the 21st century version of inviting someone up for a “night…

Nancy Downs from The Craft Costume

If you were anything like me, and you grew up in the 90’s, then there is about a 95% chance that you loved the film, The Craft. It is honestly one of my favourite films of all time and made me want to be a witch when I was a tween. When I realised that I…

“Ex Wife” Mean Girls Costume

If you’re a fan of Mean Girls then you know that one of the truest to life scenes in the film is when Cady shows up to a Halloween party filled with sexy versions of costumes. In an ode to the fact that not all female costumes must be sexy and revealing *cough* Golem *cough*,…

Theodora turning into the Wicked Witch of the West Costume

While at my friend’s house last week, I spied in her closet an amazing red velvet coat. It is with this red velvet coat that I have been able to create today’s Theodora, from the film Oz, turning into the Wicked Witch of the West costume. I could have just gone Theodora, but I thought…

Helga Pataki from Hey Arnold Costume

The other week I was in Kmart and happened upon a $5 pink singlet dress. For a while I had been looking to create a Helga Pataki costume and now I could finally do it and on the cheap! Then I saw that the other day it was the 19th anniversary of Hey Arnold! airing…

Esmeralda from The Hunchback of Notre-Dame Costume

If you’re looking for an easy, low maintenance costume for Halloween, then look no further than Esmeralda from The Hunchback of Notre-Dame. This costume works especially well if you love to drunkenly play instruments but can’t (GUILTY) as you get the option to throw in a tambourine. Or if you need a couple costume where…

Inside Out Anger Costume

Today is World Mental Health day. WMHD is a day for global mental health education, awareness and advocacy. I, like many of us, have friends and family who have been greatly affected by mental health issues. This is why I have decided to do a costume today and do my little bit to raise awareness…

Bride of Frankenstein Costume

Bride of Frankenstein is a classic Halloween costume for the ages. The whole outfit comes together with the hairstyle and make-up. If you are “blessed” with curly hair, then you have a great base for the Bride of Frankenstein hairstyle. First step is to brush it, and then tease the HELL out of it. Next,…

Patsy Stone from Absolutely Fabulous Costume

If you were like me and loved the English comedy, Absolutely Fabulous, then there is about a 99.9% chance that Patsy was your favourite. She was the bitch that you loved, no matter how terrible she was to Saffy and everybody in the world other than Eddy. So if you take this on as a…
