Happy Halloween everyone! It's that time of year again when you can dress up and have fun. In the build up to today I have been suggesting costumes for you so here is a quick round up of my ideas. There are many options, but it's always good to include things you already have in your ensemble. Who are you dressing up as this year?

Lady GaGa	The Craft
Pirate	Jordan

Fabby Halloween: Pirate

FabSugarUK — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 08:00:57 -0700

There's only a few days to go until Halloween which means its time for you to get cracking with your outfit! A pirate costume is easy to put together and you probably already have some of the items. All you need is a striped t-shirt, a scarf (preferably with skull and cross bones on it) and some cut off jeans. I have also accessorised the look with gold hoop earrings and pirate boots if you want to go all out. You could even pick up an eye patch like this one for less than £1. Will you be wearing a pirate costume this year?

60mm Hoop Earrings - £2.50	Skull Print Scarf - £10.00
Mid Acid Military Waistcoat. - £35.00	Stripe Slubby Shoulder Crop - £18.00
Cropped Turn Up Jeans - £16.00	Office Major Buckle Boot Brown Leather - £75.00
Vivienne Westwood Pirata 9460 Black Boot - £350.00	EPICE - Polka dot wool scarf - £55.00

Fabby Halloween: The Craft

FabSugarUK — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 03:00:38 -0700

The Craft became a sleepover staple when I was at High School. We would discuss which girl we'd be and it definitely inspired our teenage rebellion wardrobe! This makes it a great Halloween costume, especially if you're attending a party with a group of friends.

What's more, it's easy to recreate from items from your own wardrobe, so minimum expense! The girls mainly accessorised their school uniform to make it more gothic, so begin with a white shirt and black skirt and then add braces, a cropped cardigan or a tie. On your feet, you could either wear on trend over the knee boots or black flats with over the knee socks.

Cropped Cardigan - £40.00	+j Basic Shirt - £24.99
Sequin Braces - £6.00	Stretch Tube Skirt - £8.00
Turnover Rib Over Knee Socks - £5.00	Leather Brogue Boot - £70.00
BAXTER Lace Up Over Knee Boot - £120.00

Fabby Halloween: Lady Gaga

Halloween is just around the corner, but before you reach for the witch's hat or cat ears, why not try out something more exciting this year? The spooky day no longer means restrictive costume choices as anything goes and you can even be a bit racey (think about the Mean Girls rule!) Lady Gaga has pushed the boundaries of fashion this year and impressed us with her array of outrageous ensembles. This makes her a great candidate for a Halloween costume – just be prepared to bare! She is rarely ever spotted in trousers and loves funky headwear, not to mention enormous heels. See below for my suggestion on how to copy her style.

Peacock Feather Mask - £12.00	Studded Biker Jacket - £75.00
Mesh Panelled Body - £20.00	Black sequin shorts - £18.00
Zigi Stud Over the Knee Boot - £150.00	KARIN ANDREASSON - Feather and crystal head piece - £114.00

A Fabby Halloween From Net-A-Porter

If costumes aren't in the cards for you this Halloween, I suggest you get festive with some of Net-A-Porter's eerily decadent delights. They've put together their favorite Halloween-inspired items and the selection is filled with luxurious items from the likes of Luella, Burberry, and Chloe, to name a few. From spider web dresses to studded gloves, their offerings will leave you smiling and looking Halloween fabulous. Heading to a costume gala? I suggest you don this slick Alexander McQueen Fairy-tale Dress ($4,095). Note the creepy yet sexy mythical print. Double, double, toil and trouble . . .

Luella Penelope ribbon dress - $1,130.00	Myla Padded plunge bra - $250.00
Roberto Cavalli Lace ankle boots - $1,475.00	Erickson Beamon Crystal collar necklace - $1,025.00

Fabby Halloween: A Witch

FabSugarUK — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 00:00:50 -0700

You can dress up as anything you like for Halloween but I still think that you can't beat a classic witch or cat costume. Call me traditional but I like to look a bit scary for the occasion and nothing scares me more than the Wicked Witch of the West from The Wizard of Oz. Think black and white stripey socks and bright red shoes sticking out of a knee-length black dress. All witches need a pointed hat and you could even go all out and accessorise with a broom-stick! See below for a fool-proof witch ensemble.

Witch Hat Shiny Fabric (£2.29)	T-shirt 3/4 Sleeve Jersey Dress (£22)
Black and White Striped Stockings (£3.49)	Red patent double strap buckle shoe (£25)

A Fabby Halloween: Betty Boop

FabSugar — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 09:00:22 -0700

Want to be cute as a button come Halloween? Betty Boop may be old (circa 1932) but she's still got it. I was BB a few years ago and it was a cheap, flirtatious costume. The key pieces are the black curly wig, a bustier neckline, a garter belt, and gold hoops and bangles. The rest can be left to the imagination. Like any true fashion-loving gal, BB had a large closet. She was seen in little pink dresses, festive attire, sexy LBDs, even cowgirl outfits, but the BB I admire the most is the simply sexy one. Oh, and for this, you may want to invest in some boob inserts - BB's cleavage was one of her proudest assets.

A Fabby Halloween: Tina Turner

FabSugar — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 07:00:22 -0700

The Queen of Rock 'n' Roll is here to make your Halloween a blast. It's time to release that inner diva and shine as one of the sultriest female rockers in history. Tina is known for her legendary legs, lips, and hair, so play up those features in fringe and sequins - definitely something short, sexy, and playful. Maximize your stems in a pair of sexy high heels, don a shaggy Tina wig, and shake your bon-bon!

A Fabby Halloween: Twiggy

FabSugar — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 10:00:22 -0700

Twiggy may no longer scream mod queen, but circa 1960s, she was highly popular for her high-fashion mod look. If you're looking to mimic someone with a bold, youthful signature style this Halloween, Twiggy is your girl. Inspired by the mod creations of English fashion designer Mary Quant, the supermodel wore everything from mini skirts to shift dresses, go-go boots to funky print dresses, sequins to plaid. Twiggy, whose real name is Lesley Hornby, wasn't merely known for her stick skinny body (hence the childhood nickname) and quirky fashion sense; she also spearheaded the application of fake lashes under bottom lashes and the androgynous pixie haircut. Groovy.

A Fabby Halloween: Bat Ears

It's a sign. I'm trying to decide on my pup Annabelle's Halloween costume, and after a weekend of pet store perusing, we're leaning toward these adorable bat wings. Since my little Frenchie is black, the black bat wings looked so simple and chic. Then, today I find these Giles & Brother Tiny Bat Studs ($78). Done and done. If you've decided to go costume-free this Halloween, can I beg you to be a wee festive and indulge in these or some other spooky jewels?
