Halloween colours

Here’s what I wore Friday November 1. Since Halloween was over, I didn’t want to wear a costume inspired outfit, but I did want to wear an outfit in a Halloween colour scheme, and orange and purple are two of the first colours I think about when I think about Halloween.

Haunted eyes

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I had to do a purple and green make-up look to go with my Beetlejuice inspired outfit, and the Gourmande Girls Cosmetics Haunted palette had the perfect colour story to create this purple and green eye look. The fact that it’s a Halloween/spooky themed palette made applying the eyeshadows even more fun.

Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, houndstooth

Here’s what I wore Thursday October 31. I thought it was very fitting to wear a Beetlejuice inspired look on Halloween last year, and I was very excited about the fact that one of my students recognised the inspiration right away.

Zalando haul – mainly sale (October 2024)

I have a Zalando haul to share with you today. I purchased most of these items on sale.

I love adding a new pair of Nike Cortez sneakers to my ever growing Nike Cortez collection, and how fun are these orange ones?!

I also love adding new pairs of Crocs to my ever growing Crocs collection, and this time around I added these three pairs, which are all different versions of the Stomp style.

And speaking of Crocs, I also got these three sets of Jibbitz to add to different pairs of Crocs.

Lastly, I purchased two more pairs of coloured tights from Calzedonia. These weren’t on sale.

Easy and simple, but effective

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. This eye look was easy and simple to do, but those beautiful shimmers make it look like I put a lot more effort into the eye make-up than I actually did.

Duckie Dale who?

Here’s what I wore Wednesday October 30. It’s not the first time I’ve worn an outfit inpired by the character of Duckie Dale (from Pretty in Pink). His style is iconic and a great inspiration for Halloween or another occasion that requires a costume or any other day to be honest.

A black lip

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I just had to wear a black lip during Halloween week, and I thought it was perfect with my modern everyday witch look.

The escape pod

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. In this make-up post, I mentioned that I don’t wear purple and orange together that often, but it’s such a nice combo, and I obviously had to wear the two colours together with my clown chic look. Luckily, the Kaleidos The Escape Pod palette had perfect shades of purple and orange to match my outfit.

Clown chic

Here’s what I wore Monday October 28. It was the week leading up to Halloween, so I decided to wear Halloween/costume inspired looks all week. My inspiration for this look was clown but make it chic.
