Halloween Fashion From New Look
In the car this morning, as I once again tried to avoid sleep walking through the school run, a song came on the radio that immediately made me smile. It was ‘The Monster Mash’ by Bobby-Boris Pickett and the Crypt-Kickers, a classic Halloween song that was a hit in both the 1960s and 1970s and has been played at a million Halloween parties every year since. It reminded me that Halloween is less than two weeks away, and that I had yet to have looked at the Halloween fashion which has sort of been a tradition since I started this blog. So here it is. This year I decided to…

A Dark Fairytale at Chi Chi London
Chi Chi London is always a great place to find fairytale dresses. Beautiful pastel colours, full 1950s style skirts, acres of lace and tulle, Chi Chi has dresses that you only dream of. But this season, it is turning to the dark side of the fairy story, just in time for Halloween. These are dresses and looks that are gothic, glamorous and dramatic. Chi Chi describes the Dark Fairytale collection as bringing ‘…new edge to the classic Chi Chi look via daring cuts, darker shades and edgy accessories…’ All the usual Chi Chi elements of elegance and femininity are still there, the full skirts, the lace and ribbons, but these…

Be a stylish wedding guest
2017 is a very special day for my family as it is the year my little brother gets married. His fiancee Natalie will make a honest man of him this July in the beautiful, sunny surroundings of Cyprus. I am getting very excited already, not just at the thought of two weeks in Pathos, or even at the idea that my youngest sibling will finally be married, but at the idea of getting very dressed up for the wedding. Because who doesn’t love getting dressed up! There used to be hard and fast rules about how you dressed as a wedding guest. Hats seemed to be obligatory, as did pastel…

The Exorcist at the Birmingham Rep – Gloriously chilling
From the moment the lights are suddenly switched off, plunging the theatre into total darkness, to the minute the final curtain goes down, the theatre version of Williams Peter Blatty’s supernatural horror ‘The Exorcist’, currently terrifying wowing audiences at the Birmingham Rep, never lets up on the uneasy tension. The story of 10 year old Regan whose body and soul is overtaken by a terrifying entity that may just be the devil, has been striking fear into movie audiences for more than 40 years. And now it has been transformed into a truly spellbinding, horrifying theatre experience that is just perfect for those who enjoy their entertainment to be on…

The Haunted Castle is back at Warwick Castle
It’s that time of year again, when witches and wizards, warlocks and demons and all the things that go bump in the night make their annual appearance. Halloween is almost upon us and with it, the beautiful, historic Warwick Castle becomes the spooky, mysterious haunted castle, with Witches Towers, Devils ramparts and haunted hollows. We went along yesterday to check out the seasonal activities, and, getting into the spirit of things, took our own little ‘Grim Reaper’ along for the trip. Warwick is one of the best examples of a castle in England, and I love how it truly gets into the spirit of Halloween, with activities and attractions that…
