FLASHBACK: Dress to Kill

Halloween is only a couple of weeks away and we are preparing our costumes this year. Whichever you go for on the night if it's a full costume, fancy dress or just face paint then we want to help you get ready. Looking back to the good ol' days of the black and white photograph, you can see a scary mask was the way forward for these creepy kids.

Love this last one.. Less is more here! Tiny hat and a bat. Done.

If you want to put a little bit more effort into it than a plastic mask then may we recommend these classic characters, you could probably come in store and find something that would help create these looks too. If you do need any help with costumes and ideas please feel free to ask our shop assistants who would be happy to help!

Alice In Wonderland

Dead Preppy

Zombie Casuals

A Smokin' Skeleton Babe

And if all else fails just go as Edward Scissorhands..

Happy Halloween!

It's easy to save your sequins and bling for Christmas but why wait till then? We are talking about mixing it up and throwing an embellished jacket over your fave band tee with jeans and boots or maybe try sequined skirt with a baggy knit with tights and boots. We are expecting a huge delivery for all stores and online soon and we know it will be full of the best party gear..

Happy Birthday Bestival!

One of the biggest and most anticipated Festivals of each year is BESTIVAL! The one where you have to travel a bit further and go on a boat to get there but you will have the most amazing time of your life. This one also has a dress code which means you can plan a mega outfit to compete with thousands of people for best dressed, bearing in mind the outfit/costume might not make it till the end of the weekend!

This year 5th - 8th September the Isle of Wight hosts the festival for the 10th time and will be not be holding back to celebrate their 10th Birthday! With an Under The Sea theme for all goers to really go for it.. Think nautical, anchors, mermaids, sailors, shipwrecks, Moby Dick, treasure islands, rum bars, beaches and much more.. This is probably one of our favourite themes for any fancy dress event!!

Here are some of the best looks from the previous years.. The Hungry Caterpillar is amazing!

With the line up this year including Elton John, Snoop Dogg, MIA, Wu-Tang Clan, The Flaming Lips, The Roots, The Walkmen, Simian Mobile Disco, Johnny Marr, Ghostpoet, John Cooper Clark, The 1975, Kitty, Daisy and Lewis, Peace and Savages to name a few, without even going onto the DJ's, there is certainly something for everyone!!

We have put together a selection of pieces from our website that you could definitely wear, add to or layer up for your Bestival nautical themed look!! Order before it gets too late to deliver!
