halloween costumes for couples 2012

Unlike the last 3 years, I have my costume down pat this year. But it looks like it's lost somewhere in the post... investigation pending. For those who've spent ages mulling over what to wear, especially couples here are some gems I stumbled across whilst Googling like a woman possessed.

Gotye & Kimbra in Somebody I Used to Know MV

This idea is GENIUS, I wanted to do it but my boyfriend refused to be painted all over. It might take a bit of patience and artistic talent, but it's is a tongue-in-cheek idea that everyone will recognise, and it's so incredibly 2012. Imagine the chaos if they do play the song in the club.

The tutorial is here.

Mary Poppins and Bert

Came across this on Pinterest, what a gem! Might be a bit stuffy for clubbing though...

Lifeguard and shark

This is actually what me and my boyfriend are going for this year. Well, we're both going as lifeguards, but we bought this big inflatable shark which we're going to carry everywhere, and probably throw in some fake blood for some Jaws effect.

And I just found on Facebook this amazing summary of favourite Halloween costumes over the years. So if you can't think of anything new, these are goods one to fall back on.

anna dello russo for h&m: close ups!

I'm so excited! I could hardly wait to close the door on the postman before I jumped up and down like it was Christmas! The packaging is absolutely gorgeous, and I love the snake and crocodile cuffs. The clutch is a little lighter in colour than I thought it was, but it's still lovely. Pictures, pictures, pictures!

All photos are my property.

Okay, one word... LOL.

anna dello russo for h&m: the hype

Who else set their alarm clocks to 9am this morning to snag a piece of the humongously anticipated collaboration between H&M and the revered Anna Dello Russo? I did. I actually accidentally set mine to 10 am but thank the stars that I have a fashion-conscious biology clock.

I cleverly opened two browsers in case this happened...

But I got in on Google Chrome and off I went! Only three items from the collection because I am broke as hell after buying everyday essentials like furniture and a bike (with a wicker basket).

I'm not sure how long I have to wait until my parcel arrives, and I will be updating with pictures once it does. Only then can I really judge whether this collaboration was worthy of all the hype.

For once, all pictures belong to me.
