Topshop Halloween Edit
Halloween is fast becoming one of the most anticipated days (or nights!) of the year. From being a night that saw children doing a little trick or treating, it has become a celebration for all the family, with all ages getting themselves dressed up in costumes, enjoying parties, club nights and scary movies on what it the spookiest of all nights. Topshop does an Halloween edit every year, famously supplying Zoe Ball’s Strictly Halloween dress which resembled a mummy, and this year they have once again surpassed themselves, with a collection that truly stretches from the sublime to the hilarious.

A spooktastic family games night with Megableu
In these days that are dominated by games of a computerised kind, it is still nice to sometimes take time out to play games that come in a cardboard box that don’t require a keyboard, a control pad or have the words FIFA attached to them. Megableu are a company who create great games that take can be played and enjoyed by all the family. These games are fun and exciting, and often incorporate various levels of difficulty so they can be enjoyed by children (and adults) of all ages. With Halloween in mind, we were sent a couple of games from Megableu, Ghost Hunt Evolution and Creepy Hand. Creepy…

There are plenty of celebrities to take your Halloween inspiration from, because, let’s face it, some celebrities love nothing more than getting dressed up in their best spooky costumes come All Hallows Eve.

Spooky style from Topshop
It’s a fact – Halloween dressing up is no longer just for the kids. These days, Halloween is a hot date on the social calender, with parties being gothically, glamorous occasions and the perfect excuse for donning the deepest of red lips, the blackest of Kohl and the slinkiest of dresses. I have never, as an adult, dressed up for Halloween. But all this is going to change this year. I’m going to a Halloween party for the first time in years, and have picked out a Morticia Adams style wig, a purple witches hat, and a gorgeous long black dress and boots for my witchy costume. For those who…

A touch of Halloween from Sainsburys
The witching hour (OK day) is almost upon us, and it seems that Halloween is now a big event on every little boy or girls social calendar. Every child loves dressing up, and Halloween is one of those occasions where you can really go to town in terms of your outfit. My little boy Joe is no exception to this rule. Over the past few years Joe has dressed up for different Halloween events. He was a ghost wearing a rather strange costume that I think resembled a giant condom(?), and last year he was a pumpkin. He chose both of these costumes himself, which I think is rather lovely.…
