SPOOK IN STYLE

My kids are getting verry excited about Halloween. It’s everywhere at the moment isn’t it? We’re definitely getting more and more commercial each year but it’s good fun and an excuse to eat sweets and paint faces. I love it.

After Claudia Winkleman’s daughter suffered that awful accident, I’ve heard so many more horror stories about nasty supermarket costumes going up in flames. So I’m not buying them anymore. Not to mention the fact they’re all really quite gross!

Hattie was begging me for the most revolting Sainsbury’s witch dress the other day but I stood my ground and I’ve been on a mission to find some less hideous Halloween outfits ever since.

Here they are! I think they’re just as fun, some are actually wearable after Halloween or as pjs and hopefully a bit more stylish and a bit less flammable!?
