7 Last Minute Halloween Outfit Ideas!

Halloween is in just four days and if you need an outfit but have completely forgotten, you've come to the right place. Here are a few costume ideas that you can probably make with things straight from your own wardrobe. 



1. Mean Girls - this would be great if a group of you and your friends are going to a halloween party together and want a group outfit.. All you need to do is wear a pink shirt with either a tartan skirt or black leather skirt. You could also use another type of skirt if you don't have the previous ones listed. Don't forget the heels and small shoulder
handbag!



2. Lumberjack - all you need for this costume is a plaid shirt/flannel shirt, jeans, boots and maybe a beanie hat. Braces could be used, or dungarees too. Use either brown or black lace up type boots for a better effect. If you have one, or know where you could get one last minute, use a toy axe for the finishing touch.






3. Wednesday Addams - use a blouse with a white collar or black cardigan with a white blouse and wear a skirt to create this outfit. A black dress would also work just as well. Wear black tights with black shoes and wear your hair in two side braids to complete the look. 




4. Sandy from Grease (before AND after) - for the before look, pair a white dress and white trainers with a pastel coloured cardigan. Clip the top half of your hair back and leave your fringe down (if possible). To create the after costume, use black leggings (leather or wet look is best) with an off the shoulder black top or black vest top. Wear a chunky black belt, red heeled shoes or red pumps and have a leather jacket at hand too.




5. Danny from Grease - a white t-shirt, leather jacket, black trousers with white socks and black leather shoes is all it takes to look just like Danny Zuko on Halloween. Slick your hair back and try and leave out one bit for the curl he has at the front of his hair in the movie. Also from Grease, a group of you could all wear this look to create the 'T-Birds' outfit as a whole.




6. Rosie The Riveter - this is an icon a lot of people have seen, even if they don't know what she's called. All you need for this look is  a blue denim top and a bandana to tie around your head. For hair, check out this tutorial which shows you how to achieve the make up and hair look. 





7. Ghost - last but not least, the simplest outfit yet of literally just throwing a white sheet over you and cutting out some eye holes. Now you have no excuse not to dress up!





So, here was a few costume ideas if you're in need of a halloween costume, 
or just a fancy dress outfit. I hope this helped - I'd love to see if 
you've created any of these looks!

PROPERCORN Review

PROPERCORN have been my favourite popcorn brand for a long time, ever since I popped (excuse the pun) my first bag open at Liverpool Street Station a couple of years ago. PROPERCORN is stocked in all main supermarkets and is really good value - around 80p a pack depending where you buy it from.
The members of staff at the company are extremely friendly and the company's main aim is to keep the customer happy which I adore in a brand. I was lucky enough to be sent a huge box of 6 packs by PROPERCORN and I was over the moon! 

One of the things I particularly like about PROPERCORN is that it's an innovative brand with different types of popcorn that wouldn't usually be found on supermarket shelves. The only fault with their product is that it isn't produced in a bag bigger than 90g and how is a girl expected to have a movie night with only 90g of popcorn?! 

The flavours in the box were; Lightly Sea Salted, Sweet & Salty, Sweet Coconut & Vanilla, Fiery Worcester Sauce & Sun Dried Tomato, Sour Cream & Black Pepper and Smooth Peanut & Almond. I unfortunately can't eat the peanut & almond pack due to an allergy, but every other single flavour they've produced is incredible. I tried Sour Cream & Black Pepper for the first time earlier on and it has more of a kick to it than I anticipated but it's so good! The Fiery Worcester Sauce is probably my least favourite purely because I don't deal with hot and spicy flavours too well but if you love spice, you'll absolutely love this flavour of popcorn.


My favourite type of popcorn from PROPERCORN is between Sweet & Salty, and Lightly Sea Salted. Although they're the classics, I think they're the best because of how simple they are, but don't get me wrong I'm still totally in love with the more exotic flavours too. If you've never tried this brand of popcorn before, please go to the supermarket RIGHT NOW and try some (I promise you won't regret it, cross my heart).

Thank you again to PROPERCORN for sending me this box of goodies and I hope that for those of you who haven't tried it before, you get to experience the beautiful new world of popcorn. 
Have a great week!
