How To Celebrate A Fantastic Halloween In Glasgow This Year

So here we are in spooky October! And a lot of people are working hard in the blog & youtube world. We have people doing vlogtober & blogtober, as well as make-up & costumes ideas galore. Take your pick you will find what you are looking for somewhere on the internet... I also want to point out, and have a little jokey moan, that Christmas stuff has already been out for a month. A month. We only just got Halloween items at the beginning of this month! Anyway, I promise that's the last time I'm mentioning the "C" word, for now... I think a lot of us are now in love with Halloween & October because it signifies the beginning of Autumn. Time for layers, good smells, great food, and cherished memories with your close friends & loved ones. So since it is the month of Halloween, I thought I could find out what spooky & Halloween inspired events are happening in Glasgow. Sorry to be just sticking to local things near me, I'm sure if you live elsewhere in the world, there will be something going on! So just try searching on google or even facebook. If you are brave enough, set something up yourself for your own community! I live in a sleepy Scotish village & one of the pubs is having a costume themed night.

Pumpkin Carving & Craft Beer Tasting

(Alcohol License is pending, you will have two options if they don't get it 1) Full refund, 2) 10% refund with pumpkin carving only)

If you are wanting to test your pumpkin carving skills this October, then head on down to Little Botanica, who were originally just florists (still are) & have now added a bistro cafe to their name. They also created the flowers for our wedding, so I have a slight softspot for this event... You also won't have to go through the mess of traditional pumpkin carving, they will have already done this for you! While you are letting your creative juices flow, you can also let the craft beer juices, from  flow into you. So if you fancy a relaxed, fun & creative evening, then I would book soon before they run out of spaces!

There will be Mexican food, live music from bands as well as DJS, performances, rituals and even sugar skull face painting! More acts are still to be confirmed as well.

Halloween Dance Party

If you love partying to old school tunes and still want to have fun with dressing up, this is an event you will not want to miss. Make sure you tell your friends and make sure you dress up. You'll also need to be mentally and physically prepared, it will be a 6-hour danceathon... If you think you have the dedication & determination to make it! I'm a bit of a wimp, I don't know if I would make it.

Hedkandi Halloween Party

After having three sold out events in Scotland, they are back for a Halloween special one night only. So if you don't want to miss out & with this sort of popularity I would hurry! There's currently only just under 100 tickets left... If you aren't into the stereotypical dressing up but are finding yourself still wanting to party, then this one may be for you. With DJs occupying two rooms, I'm sure you will find something to suit your taste.

Grunge Revolution

Hiya guys, how are you all today? Have you had a good saturday? Have you been busy, relaxing, shopping, working or cooking? Let me know down below, I want to know what you get up to on your saturdays/weekends. It's always nice to hear what people get up too, it's one of my my favourite things to ask customers when I've been working. I just feel it's interesting. Are you the same? Are you nosy with other people's lives, or are you just not that bothered. Which is most certainly fine if you feel this way! 

I also want to apologize for not posting as many outfit posts or even being able to upload my outfit from valentine's day...  Due to the wonderful & unpredictable Scottish weather, I always seem to be working when the sun decides to visit Scotland & of course, when I'm off it's raining. Typical. It wouldn't be life though if it decided to work out perfect, would it? But yes, back to no outfit posts. Ive also been working in the late afternoons/early evenings, so when I've finished work I'm 9/10 times not doing anything to have an outfit to show for, or it's too dark! But alas, light evenings have now begun here. So hopefully I'll have a lot more time to play around with in the evenings to shoot some outfit posts.

As a fashion/style blogger & style enthusiast, I really do feel it's important to share more casual outfits and what you wear when you aren't really trying too hard. But, still want to look stylish. You can keep the "chic" & "stylish" on your down days... Hence why I think it's awesome when bloggers share what they are wearing when they are just running about for the day. Sometimes you're more out there pieces & heels just aren't suitable! I feel my first outfit posts back have been more for those days when I'm not really busy but I am actually having to step out my front door... Although I do feel my day to day style is a bit more grungy & dark than my night time or dressing up style. I tend to go for really girly silhouettes when it comes to those times. 

As you can also see in these photos, I've started playing around a bit more with makeup. Although, I still go for the "au natural" look 98% of the time. I am enjoying the learning process of putting products on my face. I do want to learn more as I feel it is so fun and can really add alot more to an outfit sometimes! I can't promise I will be putting this much effort in all the time! But, you will at least see me wearing some lipstick with a bare face.

Also, can I just add how much I am in love with this Limecrime "salem" Velvetine?! The colour is just out of this world and soooo beautiful! It's the perfect 90s, brown grunge, lippie! I can't help but feel super badass in it. I'm sure I will be putting this bad boy on my lips a lot! I'll try not to overuse it. Too much anyway. Speaking of brown, 90s grunge lippies, Limecrime have actually brought out another called teddy bear, it is also very dreamy and on my wishlist.

 

I was actually visiting my grandparents today, hence why I needed a casual yet cool look. Just as well I didn't go out and put heels on as we ended up walking up the highstreet. I'm not sure I could have been bothered with actually having to walk in my heels today... Sometimes it's just nice to put on heels to look good. If you know what I mean? You know, when you are actually just going to be sitting for most of the day, but the heels just add that extra glam or something. But yes, I wanted easy glam today. So rose gold pointed flats it was.

Outfit Details

So, I have a confession. I actually wore this outfit a few weeks ago. I don't really care much about recycling outfits, in fact, I encourage it. You know something also looks great & you feel great in it, why not throw it back on when you can't be bothered? Saves a lot of time & stress. It's still a little chilly in Scotland, so I remember wanting to wear this jumper because it was warm, it's also great for throwing on & looking great because of the boxy fit. Tucking it into the skirt also helped show off the top of the skirt which I think is great because of the cute little peplum. 

I instantly feel put together and comfy in this skirt, which is one of the reasons I always thrown it on! I went for my topshop bomber because I wanted to tie in with the orange jumper & I think brown looks great with orange. In my opinion. Again, wanting to try and keep to the same kind of colours, I chose the skirt & bag because 1) the shoes have white on them, 2) the shoes are also super chic & comfy and 3) I couldn't be bothered choosing another bag. The white on the shoes really sold it for me to put them on...
