Last Minute Halloween: Cruella De Vil!

Happy Frankenstein's day everyone! And we all know what that means: it's halloween tomorrow Woo! Or should I say Boo!

This time of year always tends to get busy, I can't believe how fast October has gone by. It's likely that you'll have got caught up in all the work you're buried under, or I am at least. 

So here I have a easy last minute Halloween dress up idea for you: Cruella De Vil!
All you'll need is:
- A black dress - any one you've got in your wardrobe will do! 
- Black & White coloured hair spray - the killer look!
- A black clutch bag
- Something Dalmatian

I picked up the two hair spray's for only £1.99 each on the market, where I also found a few pieces of dalmatian fabric, which I've sewn together to create a little shawl. If you have a bit more time on your hands you could pick up some red gloves to complete the look. 

Don't forget to go all out with the hair spray, after all, her hair is her most recognisable feature, so don't be afraid to backcomb it all and spray away for the DE VIL look!

And that's it! A cheap and easy halloween costume all for under £10! Don't forget to follow me on Instagram @leblogderosy and on Facebook to see the finished look.

Have a happy Halloween!

Stylist Live!

After such an extremely stressful time last week, I was super happy to be surprised with two tickets to Stylist Live in London.

You see, Stylist is by far my favourite magazine, but I'd already ruled the event out after my student budget couldn't reach that far, to get me a ticket and all the way to London. So a couple of weeks ago I entered a competition on their twitter page and magically, I won!

My friend Lucy and I got the train from Newcastle in the early hours only to arrive in London with an hour and a half to spare, so we popped into Kings Cross so that I could get my 'Platform 9 3/4 picture,' which for some reason I'd never done before!

Then after a lot of tube-hopping and google-mapping, we finally arrived at Islington Business centre ready for the day ahead!

It was fabulous to say the least. We got VIP seats at the catwalk show where the ASOS styling team showcased next seasons trends: Sweet and Sour, Supercharged Tweed, 80s Glam, Décor Dressing, and my personal favourite: Period Dressing!

We attended several talks and Q&As including one between Lucy Mangan and Bridget Christie, who even signed my book! We treated ourselves to a manicure and one three glasses of complementary bubbly, then ended the day with a Q&A with makeup artist, Lisa Eldridge. 

Honestly, it was so jam-packed and went by so quickly it's hard to believe that only two days ago I was in the capital. But I have the pictures to prove it, so it must have happened!

Thanks for reading!

Just like rubies

Burgundy is my colour. It always has been and it always will be. But you know what, after over three years of blogging, it seems I must've used up almost every burgundy synonym that I could possibly find to name my post, which explains why i found this one so hard to name.

However, Judy Garland was just mentioned on the telly, which reminded me of her ruby slippers in The Wizard of Oz (all time fave!) and although mine aren't quite delicate time-travelling slippers, they're pretty dang cool, and they even have that ruby colouring. Saying that though, they came at a magical price of £12 in the Zara sale!

Today was the usual Thursday, however I woke up with a rather bad headache with having varsity yesterday. It was such a fun day, despite the losses, and the night out was class - we dressed up as cartoon characters.

Then I popped off to uni for an hour of shorthand followed by a meeting for Fashion North - which I've just been named Deputy Editor, of - so go have a read, yes now! Exciting times lie ahead!!

Top - Primark

Scarf - Vintage

Skirt- F&F @ Tesco

Shoes - Zara

Bag - Mary Portas

As for this week, it's basically over for me, as I have work tomorrow and Saturday, then Sunday will be spent practising shorthand and catching up on some much needed zzzzzzzz's.

Catch ya later huns, thanks for reading!
