Happy Halloween

I'm not quite sure when Halloween descended on us in all its Americaness but it's a Hallmark Holiday I have fully embraced this year. I think of the many things that change when you have children, this is definitely one of the perks.


When I was young, my parents vetoed Halloween as my mum saw it as dressed up begging and I think my dad just couldn't be arsed to trawl the street with us so I get to fulfill my trick or treat free childhood through my son in a non pushy mother way as he absolutely loved it.


I steered clear of the standard supermarket Halloween costume fodder and channeled some creativity into his outfit and he became - Edward Scissorhands. Polo neck and jodphers (girls) from H&M, foil covered cardboard scissorhands, black hairspray by Superdrug and make-up  by moi with help from an brilliant YouTube tutorial. This outfit post is dedicated to my son, Happy Halloween my amazing boy....x Talia
