Style Note: Boohoo knocked it out the park recently with some of their more premiums additions in the run up to the festive season. This dress is the perfect shade of green (My fav colour by the way!) it’s also the perfect amount of sexy with a sheer panel across the cleavage and also the perfect length for making your legs (in my case extra short legs) look longer. The mix of textures make the dress look uber expensive too which is always a bonus when it retails for just £30.00. I paired this dress with an elegant plain black heel and a black tassel skinny Dip bag with gold chain.

Halloween Evil Queen….

Halloween for me is always a last minute dash to the party shop in Bromley where I generally proceed to have big ideas of what I want to go as (Insert this year’s big ideas of Harley Quinn from Suicide Squad), I then discover that everything in my size is out of stock and whatever is left is ridiculously expensive and not at all what I wanted.

Finally this year with more than enough notice on my side, I knew that I had a fancy dress party to attend so I decided to be uncharacteristically more organised.

Well kind of…. To be honest this consisted of me attempting to online shop an outfit one week before the party and relying heavily on my friend to look for my costume as well as her own Lol! But success was on the horizon when she order me a sexy skeleton catsuit and I also managed to order myself a sexy BeetleJuice costume. Then the worst happened… my supposedly size small BeetleJuice costume arrived and was so big that the corset entirely exposed my lady lumps and the leggings were subjecting me to serious baggy crotch… did i say sexy? I meant stupid!

But no problem I have a backup right? Ermmmm NOPE! I should be so lucky, on calling my friend for the emergency back up skeleton costume she then informs me that three other girls she know are going in the identical bloody costume! Hows my luck right?

So with less than 24 hours until the party I had to come up with another option pronto!

Luckily for me I had just received an order from BooHoo and within that order was a stunning emerald green velvet plunge neck maxi dress with thigh high split, the colour was suitable for halloween so at least I had a little something to work with. Next stop… I had to be some serious levels of make up inspiration if this thrown together costume was going to be any more impressive than me showing up in a bin liner.

There is only one woman to turn to for halloween make up inspo and that is the wonderfully talented Anna Lingis (http://www.annalingis.com/). I checked out her Instagram tutorials and photos and settled on one of her looks to imitate with my own green themed spin on it. As it turns out ‘Girl did good’ I had so many ladies at the party compliment me on my makeup and my dress and when people asked me what I had come as I winged it and said I was an evil green queen! No one batted an eyelid at that made up by Shanie character so I think I pulled it off!

Style Note: I literally felt like a kid in a candy store when I went into New Look’s Oxford Street branch to do a last minute shopping dash on the first day of London Fashion Week. I am usually planning my looks up to a month in advance but this season it crept up on me so quickly I had to get most of my looks at the very last moment. My go to clothing stores for this LFW were New Look for my Autumn /Winter style, Rare London for my party looks and I turned to Boohoo and River Island for a couple of staple pieces. I opted for this seasons Autumn/Winter jewel tones such as Burgundy, Green, Gold & Amber and Nudes. When it comes to LFW it’s not only about style but also comfort and I think for the first time I nailed it by opting for comfy boots and block heel mules.
