The Tale of Jack O'Lantern

Hey Guys!

Happy Halloween!!!! I hope you've all had a fun packed evening.

Today is the last (and my favourite) halloween themed outfit featuring this awesome pumpkin dress from Boohoo Plus. 

I'm pleased to report the sizing on this one was perfect and the arms were nice and tight so no complaints from me! 

It's really stretchy as it's jersey but more true to size than the skeleton dress, I ordered my usual size and I think the fit is perfect, I think it's got just the right amount of cling.

I'm so pleased with how this week has gone, 5 outfits in 5 days has to be a record on here and everyone has given me great feedback. I want to start focusing back onto outfit posts, from the comments I've been getting it seems like they are the overall favourite type of post (mine too). 

Anyway guys, I hope you have had a great Halloween and I'll see you tomorrow with an exciting new giveaway.

Thanks for reading! Love Sally X

Skeletons in the Closet

Hey Everyone!

Just one day to go until Halloween is here and this mini series concludes (sob).

Today features this lovely skeleton dress from Boohoo which as you have probably guessed is sold out and no longer on the site to link. There are some similar ones on Ebay though so check that out if you're looking for a discounted version. 

The sizing is a bit strange, it's really baggy on the arms but fits about normal everywhere else. I had to gather the sleeves together at the wrist to try and get a tighter look but I've never had this issue before, maybe the pattern the dress was cut from is off proportion wise. I would say sizing down is probably a good idea.

The dress itself is pretty nice, the pattern is cool, it's long sleeved and also a good length so it's all good on that front. 

All in all I'm relatively happy with my purchase, aside from the arms issue, and I will be featuring another look from Boohoo tomorrow which is my favourite of the series. 

See you tomorrow and stay spooky!

Say Boo and Scary On

Hey Guys!

Today is the next Halloween themed outfit of the day and centers around this spooky ghost dress from Asos Curve. I'm sorry to say that this has also sold out, not sure what's going on with the stock numbers at Asos this halloween! Everything in the collection seems to have sold out crazily quick which is a shame because they are probably the most exciting pieces I've seen all year. 

I have styled the dress with my trusty leggings from Sainsburys which I swear by, they are a thick modal fabric and so cosy and warm. I also have on my Evans ankle boots* which I have been wearing pretty much non stop since they arrived. 

What can I say about this dress? The print is awesome with loads of little ghosties, the skater style and stretch fabric is super comfy and flattering, the sleeves give good coverage and the length is pretty perfect. I don't have a bad thing to say about the actual product, the only downside is that it has sold out so quickly! 

How cute is this mini Frankenweenie? I made a cheeky purchase in the Disney store after watching the film in my latest Netflix marathon. 

Now I'm off to watch Hocus Pocus for the millionth time! Leave me a comment telling me your favourite Halloween films.

See you tomorrow and thanks for reading!

Monsters Incorporated

Hey Everyone!

Today is the second installment in my Halloween outfit series and features this super cute Cropped T-Shirt with Monster Print from Asos Curve.

I have paired it with a skater skirt also from Asos curve, leggings from Sainsburys and ankle boots* from Evans which are quickly becoming my go to shoes. Todays outfit is my take on a really simple, super comfortable halloween look you can wear day or night and I'd wear this tshirt all year round!

I chose to size up, but could probably have got my usual size and the length wasn't as cropped as I thought it was going to be. It's much less daunting if you are wearing it with jeans for example and only want to show a little bit of skin. 

The sleeves are also the perfect length, stopping midway to the elbow so providing that extra bit of coverage.

What do you guys think? A cool casual look or something monst(e)rous?

Thanks for reading and I'll see you tomorrow for another outfit!

Here Comes Halloween

Hey Everyone!

For those of you that didn't see my tweet, this week I am excited to say that I will be doing 5 halloween themed outfits of the day posts as we begin the countdown to the event on Friday. Halloween is my second favourite time of the year (after xmas obviously) and there are some awesome Halloween themed clothes around, so I figured I'd show you guys a few bits I picked up.

Today's outfit of the day features these super cool leggings from Asos Curve which are unfortunately already sold out, but I hear on the grapevine that Primark have done an equivalent so pop into a store if you can for a look. These ones are super stretchy and comfortable so if you do manage to get your hands on a pair I would recommend you size down.

Speaking of Primark, my studded clutch, shoe boots and vest top are all from my last visit and the cardigan is from Yours Clothing. I love the way that the cardigan sits perfectly on the hips to show off the pelvic bones on the leggings.

Make up wise I gothed up a little with pale foundation, a smoky eye and berry red lips for a vampy sort of look. I think it goes pretty well with the outfit, but possibly not an everyday look for me.

What do you guys think of my outfit? What will you be wearing this halloween? Let me know in the comments below!

Thanks so much for reading and stay tuned for the next installment tomorrow!

OOTD - Chessington World of Adventures

Hey Everyone! 

Yesterday me and the family went to Chessington World of Adventures for a pre-halloween treat, it was really fun and I got some good pictures so thought I could do an outfit of the day/mini write up of what I got up to!

I am wearing:

Coat - New Look Inspire

Dress - George at Asda

Leggings - TU at Sainsburys

Boots - Primark

Bag - Marisota

Hat - Primark

Glasses - Armani

The land of the dragons is home to my favourite rollercoaster, Dragon's Fury. It's high, it's fast and gets the old adrenaline pumping.

In keeping with the halloween theme there were pumpkins all over the place as decorations.

I did some serious childhood reminiscing going past the Toadies Cars, that was my favourite ride when I was younger, ahhh memories!

We then went for go on the new Zufari ride, which is a safari experience allowing unique access to the animal enclosure. After hearing a lot about it in the news, that animal prints were banned as they were spooking the animals, I just had to try it out myself. Each ride can be completely different as the animals have free reign so you may or may not see them up close, but if you don't get to then odds are you will next time. 



You board a big truck which seats 30 people (bit of a squish) and you are driven up dirt tracks and through muddy waters

This is a wonderful picture of two zebras trying to kill each other! 

It was really cool to be so near to the giraffes and rhinos, especially for taking photos. Even as a 23 year old I found the attraction entertaining, even the cave you go through which has a waterfall I (of course) got drenched in.

 The below picture was taken in Wild Asia next to the log flume which is always a classic attraction at any theme park. 

We then went on Vampire, a rollercoaster where you hang like a bat and Professor Burps Bubbleworks which is a fun water ride with illuminations and little character scenes.  

Hocus Pocus Hall offers a great spooky themed walk through experience (perfect for when it starts to rain too!!). 

There was also another Halloween walk through but when we went to visit it, it was closed off so we didn't get the chance to go in which was disappointing as I was really looking forward to it.

I would say I had a great day over all, and that's speaking as an adult, and I got home completely tired out from all the walking around.

Did you visit any theme park halloween events? Tell me about them below.

Thanks for reading!
