happy halloween

Happy Halloween everyone!!! Its that great night where I can indulge my love of the dark side of life....plus eat a lot of candy. If your after a great site for Halloween chocolate joy check out the amazing designs from British based chocolate store Choccywoccydoodah. I just adore their chocolate skulls as they feature designs inspired from the day of the dead celebrations.

So tonight I will be watching a combination of scary movies and a bit of film noir. The triple feature will be Cabin Fever, Blood Rayne and The Black Dahlia. So I'm now off to the shops for more candy!!!! Happy Halloween!

Inspiration Costumes

Its no secret that I adore the show The Big Bang Theory and with Halloween on the horizon I figured I'd look at them for a bit of geek costume inspiration.

The picture above is from one of their Halloween episodes which always makes me laugh as they are dressed as follows. L-R Howard as Robin Hood, Raj as Thor, Leonard as Frodo and Sheldon as the doppler effect. Ok so maybe I won't get dressed as these characters but at least its a starting point.

Maybe I could do a medieval theme like this????

Or just stick with the classic superheros? LOL

Spooky

Its that time of the year again....Halloween.

Personally I adore Halloween, hey any excuse to play dressups and eat candy. Honestly its not the only reason, but hey candy is candy. For me its a nice connection to All saints day and the festival of the dead. Yep that sounds depressing but I prefer to see it as a time when we can connected with the people that have passed.

Slowly Halloween is becoming a bigger event in Australia. If your in Melbourne its a great chance to go on one of the local ghost tours where you can really get your spook on. LOL

So right now I'm in planning mode for my own Halloween decoration. Of course there will be lots of cut outs of bats and skeletons. But my pride and joy for those visiting me over the Halloween weekend will be my candy buffet. Todays mission is actually going hunting for candy jars and of course candy in spooky colours.

So dust of your broomsticks, grab your pointy hat and lets get magical.

I adore Spring, and with Spring comes Halloween. Now the aussies don't really celebrate it over here in Melbourne, however I love this holiday. Sure I like the dressing up, candy and make believe for a day. But what I truly love is the old aspect of this holiday. A night where the souls of the living and the dead can be as one. Where everyone who's passed can visit those still alive.

So in honor of this day I am planning a Halloween themed outfit and baking cookies. Ok I might even take in bags of lollies to work for everyone. Come on who doesn't love lollies.

Well just its nearly been a month since I hit the net, damn you daily work and internet shortage. But now I'm back and ready to indulge. So whats been going you may ask that has caused me to get stuck in the real world. Well.....I've been at a lingerie and sleepwear conference. Oh yes a few days to play with so many pretty things that my suit case could hardly fit all the yummy samples I brought back. So I will also be posting some conference images etc.

Well as you can see by the above shot this month I'm going for a bit of a darker look, plus I'm joining in the month long test of NO JEANS. A group of gals and I are trying to break the cycle of women always wearing jeans. So for all of november and december jeans will be put to the back of the wardrobe unless worn to work in (and since I don't actually plan on doing any manual labour during these months I think I'll be fine)

But the coolest thing I think for me is tomorrow is Halloween. Sure its not a big thing over here but it is my wedding anniversary and a great excuse to dress up.

So everyone go raid that sexy wardrobe you know you have and have some fun this weekend.

Luv & Lashes to you all
