Things that make you go Oooooo (October 2010)


HAPPY HALLOWEEN! So Halloween is upon us for yet another year and although not the big celebration I would like it to be here in the UK it's still a good excuse to celebrate all things weird and wonderful. I LOVE Halloween and not just for the candy, yes I love to dress up to but I guess you already know that. I can't wait to break open the horror box set tonight, make some blood strawberry stained popcorn and cosy up to a werewolf. So this edition of Things that make you go Oooooo is dedicated to all my creepy fascinations, enjoy mwhahahahaha!

Daily Outfit: Fighting for Justice Zatanna Zatara!


Yes I admit I'm a girl who loves comics, I've been to comic con numerous times and you can more often than not find me reading comics in public. I've embraced my inner geek and after being invited to a fancy dress party with the theme "Superheroes and Movie Stars" it was the perfect excuse for me to break out in costume.


Like all heroes I was faced with a big dilemma before the party, my costume not arriving! So I did what any good superhero does I sent out an army of ninja bunnies to the evil costume thief then inspired by the gorgeous and lovely Betty Felon raided my closet for a suitable replacement.




We all need a little magic in our lives and perhaps that's why I'm drawn to this obscure DC character, and although nobody at the party had any idea who Zatanna was she will always be one of my favourite comic book heroes.


Sequin Hat - Fancy That
Jacket - H&M
Necklace - Handmade by Moi
T-Shirt - Primark
Gloves - Vintage
Skirt - Fanplusfriend
Tights - Primark
Shoes - The Mall (Thailand)
Bunny Bag - Baby, the Stars Shine Bright
