NZ Style Curvettes - Halloween

I don't celebrate Halloween, however I do Love to get dressed up.

I originally wasn't going to do this challenge but Sunday afternoon came and I was bored.

Some of you may remember I have a sleeping disorder called Narcolepsy, where I sleep excessively throughout the day. So when I'm bored and I don't do anything there is a 99% chance I will fall asleep.

So instead of being bored and sleeping I decided I'd slap together some sort of Halloween costume.

As you may have already guessed I've gone for a strangled Zombie Queen of Hearts look... However instead of brains this Zombie Queen has a particular liking for hearts...fresh hearts.

Ok... so my blood covered heart needs a bit of work but for a 10minute job I think it's pretty good. I would probably either buy a real animal heart (that would freak people out! But would stink after a bit) or see if I could buy a real looking fake one from a dress up shop.

It's probably good I don't get dressed up for Halloween anyways because I would get out there and scare people with my brilliant acting skills! That's the point of Halloween right?

 ...who wants "braiiinnnss....braaiiinnns" when you can just rip out their heart! MuHaHaHa

Dress Ups: Gatsby/The Roaring 20's

In all honesty what girl doesn't love playing dress ups?!? Of course once you have the costume bit sorted that is!!

Last night a friend had her 21st birthday party themed 'The Great Gatsby' from the roaring 20's. I organised my outfit and my Mums outfit with limited funds and we had a ball!

The event was held at The Shamrock Hotel in Bendigo which was a perfect location. The decor was very era appropriate; diamonds littered tabletops and feathers shot out of flower displays. It really felt like it could've been the 20's!

The balcony was gorgeous, unfortunately a bit cold for most however my neck fur kept me quite warm so I made the most of the beautiful view when I could.

The outfits I put together were quite easy once I knew what I was looking for and it was definitely the accessories that made the outfit. Most of the stuff I already had! The outfits at the party were quite diverse too! I was very impressed. Penguin suits, flappers, a Dick Van Dyke (from Mary Poppins) look a like, glamorous divas, Madaàms etc
