Why I love Disney at Halloween

I am fond of many things, but two of the biggest things are Halloween and Disney.

I can't exactly define what it is about Halloween that I love so much. Mainly I love being able to embrace all the things about myself which may be seen as creepy any other time of year, such as my adoration for Horror, creepy makeup looks and interest in serial killers.

Final Frightdown: Wednesday Addams

For this quick Halloween look, I am turning to one of my icons in life- Ms Wednesday Addams.

Wednesday has everything that fits this spooky season; a morbid outlook, an all black wardrobe and the signature pigtails. This makes her such an easy option for Halloween dress up. All you need is a black dress, hairbands, black eyeshadow, black liquid liner and a resting b*tch face!

Final Frightdown: Crybaby

Welcome back! My last post was a Mrs Potato Head inspired look and today's post is also influenced by Melanie Martinez. Crybaby is the protagonist featured in the songs of her album of the same name. If you are familiar with Melanie's work, you may be aware of the eccentric looks which compliment her work.

Final Frightdown: Mrs Potato Head

For my third look in my Final Frightdown mini series, I decided to opt for a Mrs Potato Head look. Now, this isn't the Disney spud, but the reconstructed, cosmetic surgery damaged, character created by Melanie Martinez.

I love Melanie Martinez and I instantly knew I wanted to do a look (or two?) inspired by the dark sides of her album. Now, I am evidently not the first person to have created what is a botched plastic surgery makeup look, but I did take inspiration from the way Mrs Potato Head looks in Melanie's video.

Final Frightdown: Scarecrow

Welcome to the second look in my Final Frightdown posts. This mini series is for all of you out there who are still stuck for dress up ideas for Halloween.

Whether your makeup skills are non existant limited or you just want something quick and simple to do, you are in the right place. Whilst my last post was a semi cute/creepy kitty look, today we are going for something which was created to cause fear.

Final Frightdown: Kitten

I live for Halloween. I pretty much spend every second of my life trying to make it spookier. I love horror films, creepy cute things and most importantly, playing with makeup.

I have decided to use my next few posts to create some last minute, easy to do, Halloween looks. So if you are looking for inspiration ideas as to who or what you can become this October 31st then you are in the right place.

Autumn Favourites Haul

Autumn has well and truly cast its spell on us. From the falling, orange stained leaves to the huge collection of jumpers and the colour berry in shops, it is hard to resist the spookiest of seasons!

As someone who absolutely lives for Autumn, it is inevitable that I have picked up some things in stores which I wanted to share with you. Now, I haven't specifically searched out seasonal products but between my recent trip to the States (where Halloween is LIT) and the goodies Primark delivers, I have mounted a miniature pile of stuff in my room. So without further ado, let me share these finds with you.

A Disney Vlog

Hello everyone,
my last post was all about my trip to Disneyland Paris and I mentioned a potential vlog. Well the time has arrived with great difficulty. I'm going to leave the link here, but please let me know whether it says it is unavailable because if so, I will just have to delete it, add another song, cry for ten hours over how nothing I do ever goes right, and then reupload it.
Until next time, take care,
love, Aimee :) xx

Here Comes Halloween: My 2016 Costume

Hello everyone,
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!! The day is finally upon us to be as spooky as possible. I hope you have an unhealthy amount of treats and at least one horror movie marathon planned.
I thought it would be cool to share my Halloween costume for this year, in my final post. I am SO EXCITED ABOUT IT, and I am convinced that no other costume idea I ever have will live up to this one.
So, the big reveal, my Halloween Costume is...
SPINELLI FROM RECESS!!!!!
Now, I am not sure exactly where the idea came from. I'm relatively sure there was a Twitter hashtag involving describing yourself in fictional characters, and alongside April from Parks and Rec and Wednesday Addams, Spinelli was featured.  I have also been planning my Disney trip and I became so mad about there being no Recess themed ride. It is an OUTRAGE. So, I am forcing Recess upon Disney with my costume.
I am also convinced that I won't ever take the costume off and I will just live my life as the real version of Spinelli. I cannot wait to be her for the Soiree at Disneyland Paris. Honestly, if I had enough friends I would force them into being the entire cast. I don't even mean just T.J, Gretchen, Vince, Mikey and Gus. I mean EVERYONE! Recess just gives me such great memories from growing up. I would quote the Ashley's 'SCANDALOUS' so much at school and I would always, always binge watch the show. I hope it's one thing that doesn't get some horrendous 2016+ revival.

Here Comes Halloween: The Celebrity Edition

Hello everyone,
TOMORROW IS HALLOWEEN, CAN YOU FEEL THE PUMPKIN SPICE RADIATING THROUGH THE SCREEN????

There are countless celebrities who truly know how to get into the spirit (yes I know, how punny) and dress for the occasion. Below I have listed my top five costumes as worn by celebrities.

But amidst all of this I have managed to find some super cute items to give your home a little touch of creepiness and they are listed below:

Here Comes Halloween: Costume Ideas 2016

Hello everyone,
I am back with yet another Halloween themed post, this time it comes in the form of costume ideas. Now, I am not the most creatively gifted, inventive person out there, so these ideas are all super easy to D.I.Y and some also come online as pre made costumes which is good if you don't have the time to make a costume. *disclaimer* I am just going to apologise in advance for number five!
Here are my top five Halloween costume ideas for this year:
