Just a few days before Halloween and I still don’t have my costume for the night. Typical me. Every Halloween Eve I am thinking, how many ideas I have for the next 31st October. However, I never go through them, as I usually don’t remember what I thought off. To be honest, I've never really bought an actual costume for Halloween, because why would I want to spend £30 for something I will wear for only two hours and then it won’t even go in a charity shop. Therefore, I've always tried combining a couple of accessories with the clothes I already have – and it worked perfectly so far. I've been a geisha, a devil girl, a witch, I even had the proper clothes and accessories to be Samara from the Ring. But last year, I look through my wardrobe again, hoping to get some inspiration and I couldn't even pull off Pocahontas. So, I decided to go and find a costume the traditional way – charity shop shopping. In just an hour I found the perfect dress at Chas on Byres Road. So, this year I decided to go costume hunting at the charity shops again and I wasn't disappointed. Here are some of the costumes I found at British Red Cross, Cancer Research, Oxfam and British Heart Foundation!

   I didn't have time to go to Chas, but I think I already found this year's winner. If you hurry up you might still find some of these dresses, or something else for the spooky night!

​   Oh, one last thing Happy Creepy Halloween everybody!

   ​How many times have you said I wish I knew that in my first year at university? Well, being in my final year, I started reflecting on my university experience and there are number of things I wish I knew as a Fresher. So, for my first post I decided to share seven of them.
