Minion Pet Costume – So Cute!

There are some really cool Halloween costumes for your dog, someone has even compiled a fun page called All Hallow’s Doggos which is packed full of cool, ready to wear costume ideas for your dog.

I think it’s so fun when you go to a Halloween parade and see dog owners with their dogs all dressed up and I know my boy loves having everyone showing him lots of attention while he ‘strut’s his stuff’!

So what will you dress your dog up in this year? There are lots of great costume ideas available from Star Wars costumes to the very popular dog spider and many more….

I think my pick for my dog this year is the Chewbacca costume, what do you think of it?

Isn’t this Star Wars Chewbacca Hoodie Pet Costume cool? I think it even looks like it’ll keep my ‘little man’ warm if he’s wearing it as well! CLICK THE IMAGE TO PURCHASE 🙂

Of course my husband may have other ideas – he keeps pointing out the spider costume, but I think the legs hanging out would probably spook our dog! It is a very cool costume though I must admit.

If you haven’t dressed your dog up for Halloween then why not do so this year, they love being part of the family fun so will probably love it. Having said that my late ‘girl’ would let me dress her up and then promptly try to dismantle anything with her paw or rolling around so I guess it’s not always easy 🙂 There are tips for helping you to put on a pet costume available here – step by step guide to dress your dog in a Halloween costume.

Personally I would leave the head piece to last as that’s the part most of my dogs tend to be less receptive to. The biggest thing is to start dressing them up when they’re young and food treats help too!

Let me know what costume you’d like to dress your dog up in (and what type of dog you have too so I can really visualize it).

Court Jester Costume Ideas

Posted on September 14, 2016 by Lou

Looking for something fun to dress up for this Halloween then check out some Court Jester Costume Ideas? There are lots of choices from the traditional medieval court jester to the comic book jesters or even an evil jester.

You can also get different court jester costumes for all ages.

The colors and styles available make these costumes a fun & bright choice for Halloween.

NOTE: As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases – more information below

The Court Jester was extremely popular during Medieval times in the Kings Court and was otherwise known as the Fool. His job was to entertain and he did so through storytelling and music. Some Jesters, Fools or Jokers also juggled or did other acrobatic tricks.

Jesters were very popular in the Royal Courts of Henry VIII, Elizabeth I and James I which is why they are mentioned in some Shakespearean plays. After the English restoration period Charles II chose not to reinstate the role of the Jester in his court.

British nobles did, however continue the practice for centuries after that. A little trivia nugget for you – did you know who the last noble family were to have a jester? It was the Bowes-Lyons aka the Queen Mother’s family.

Travelling groups of jesters performed on stage and in part were fore-runners to circus clowns. Their history can also be linked to the popular seaside Punch & Judy puppet show and is also associated with the tradition of the harlequin as well.

The jester may no longer be found in royal courts, but we see them in other forms. Examples of the jester’s continuing influence is as the Joker on playing cards. He is also found in Tarot cards,pantomimes and even in some of our sayings. When we talk about someone playing (or acting) the fool or we claim to be saying something in jest we can follow these sayings back to the Court Jester.

Lets check out some Court Jester Halloween Costumes or you can jump straight to the section you want – Kids Jester Halloween Costumes | Men’s Jester Halloween Costumes | Women Jester Halloween Costumes | Evil Jester Costumes

Women Jester Halloween Costumes

If you search for women’s jester costumes you’ll often come across Harley Quinn costumes. This is because when the harlequin made it’s way to Britain it’s ‘story’ and the Court Jester’s ‘story’ became a little interwoven.

This featured costume is the classic Harley Quinn jester costume. If you’re looking for this extremely popular DC Comics character then check out more of her costumes at Harley Quinn Halloween Costumes.

If you choose a harlequin or court jester costume in a red and black combination then people are going to think you’re dressed as Harley Quinn.

Luckily (if you’re not a Harley fan) there are other colors available so ilet’s have a look at a few of them.

Luckily there are other Court Jester Halloween costumes for women so let’s take a look at them.

Evil Jester Costumes

Jesters have often had a mischievous side to them so it’s hardly surprising that the idea of an evil jester would arise. This is especially the case when you think of the inter-woven shared history that clowns and jesters have. After all we’ve all heard of the evil clown so why not an evil jester?

The evil jester is often represented in a black and white costume, although there are other colors used at times. The jester’s face is often a scary mask, although there are exceptions. There are some cool YouTube videos that show how to create the look of an evil jester using make-up.

It’s hard to describe what makes a jester costume an evil jester costume, but let me just show you a few examples.

I hope you’ve enjoyed perusing these court jester costume ideas and have found the perfect costume for your next fancy dress occasion.

Cute Dinosaur Halloween Costumes for Toddlers

Posted on September 12, 2016 by Lou

There are some absolutely gorgeous dinosaur Halloween costumes for toddlers available and what toddler doesn’t love dinosaurs? Let’s have a nice big Raawr! and look at some of the best dinosaur costumes for toddlers.

In a hurry?

==> Go Straight to A Selection of Dinosaur Halloween Costumes for Toddlers <==

Dinosaur Fossil Costumes

Now as cool as dinosaur costumes are I was bowled over when I saw the dinosaur fossil costumes that have been released this year. When my daughter was a toddler one of these would have been her choice as it combines dinosaurs and skeletons – can you say love it in Dinosaur? Raawr!

Toddler’s T-Rex Fossil Costume Toddler Triceratops Costume

These gorgeous costumes are basically jumpsuits which means that your toddler will be comfortable in them (always a good thing to think about, nothing worse than a toddler who wants to take their costume off 5 mins after putting it on!) The black jumpsuits have feet in them and are screen printed to give them the look of fossils. They also come with a matching hood and mitts to keep them nice and snug while they’re trick or treating.

T-Rex Dinosaur Halloween Costumes for Toddlers

The most popular dinosaur for some reason always seems to be the T-Rex which is why most toddler dinosaur costumes feature this big, tall member of the Jurasic period.

Here are my favorite three T-Rex dinosaur costumes for toddlers, I can’t narrow it down any more than that!

T-Rex Toddler Costume Dinosaur Toddler Costume Toddler T-Rex Costume

Aren’t they gorgeous? Can you choose just one T-Rex costume as your favorite? I keep going backwards and forwards between these three with a different favorite each time.

Did you know that in Dinosaur the same word means ‘I love you’, ‘I’m hungry’ & ‘I eat you’? That word is Raawr!

I’m not sure why we all love the T-Rex as they were one of the largest meat eating dinosaurs around so if they had co-existed when we were around we would have been avoiding them very quickly because if they said Raawr! to us it would be meaning ‘I eat you’ NOT ‘I love you’!

There are other dinosaur costumes available for your toddler that are pretty awesome too…

More Toddler Dinosaur Costumes

A Pterodactyl Dinosaur Costume for Your Child

If your child prefers the flying reptiles of the Jurassic period then this cute Pterodactyl costume will be perfect.

Pterodactyl Toddler Costume

I think this ‘flying dinosaur’ costume is really cute and I love the green and purple as I know a number of children who would pick the costume based on the colors alone!

What about other dinosaurs? It’s okay I’m not finished we still have more one to go….

Toddler’s Stegosaurus Dinosaur Costume

When I was a child I used to love the Stegosaurus the most, and not just because they ate plants, I just thought they looked cool.

I don’t think they actually looked like this next costume, but it is a very cute ‘interpretation’ for a toddler –

Toddler Stegosaurus Costume

The big feet are actually shoe covers and I think they really pull the costume together, don’t you?

This next costume is (in my opinion) a much more ‘realistic’ looking Stegosaurus costume for your toddler as I know some may think that the costume above ‘isn’t really a dinosaur mom!’

Child Stegosaurus Costume

Triceraptops Dinosaur Halloween Costume for Toddlers

Another popular dinosaur was the Triceraptops. This dinosaur was a large one with three horns, hence the ‘tri’ part in it’s name, but one the plus side he was a vegetarian so when he said Raawr! you didn’t have to run away!

If your child likes the look of this giant dino with the scary face then why not get them this costume and a little green face paint as well – because what child doesn’t like some face paint on?

Toddler Triceraptops Costume

Well that’s all of the dinosaur costumes I’ve found for your toddler, but if you wanted to make your own dinosaur costume for your toddler there are some great tutorials available.

DIY Dinosaur Costume for Toddlers

My favorite diy dinosaur costume for toddlers came from a new blog I’ve just discovered called Rust & Sunshine and I absolutely loved the grey and yellow combination she used to make her son’s costume, here’s the link –

I hope you’ve enjoyed our jaunt to the Jurassic period for our toddler Halloween costume inspiration today.

Suicide Squad Halloween Costumes

Posted on July 31, 2016 by Lou

Can you believe this movie came out in 2016? The Suicide Squad Halloween costumes are still a popular choice, especially Margot Robbie’s version of Harley Quinn.

Although superheroes are great to dress up as when you’re a kid there’s something fun about dressing up as a supervillain that many adults enjoy and that’s where these Suicide Squad costumes come into their own.

The looks that the 2016 blockbuster movie has brought to these characters have given them a punkish street edge look that I think is awesome so let’s have a look at some of these supervillains.

NOTE: As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases – more information below

The main Suicide Squad characters are The Joker, Harley Quinn, Deadshot, Katana & Croc Killer. Dress up as any member of the squad or use this as a great idea for a group costume.

Suicide Squad Joker Costume

Jared Leto brings the Joker to life in the 2016 Suicide Squad movie and apparently while filming he stayed in character and even scared Scott Eastward a little bit (with Dirty Harry as your dad I’m thinking that’s not an easy thing to do!)

The key to this costume is very pale skin, green hair and some pretty out there tattoos which have already caused the internet to melt as fans reactions have not been in favor of the tattoos.

Suicide Squad The Joker Costume Jacket

The costume above includes the red shirt, jacket and pants, but you’ll also need to get a green wig and address those tattoos. If you have a quick look on youtube you’ll see that some people have very successfully recreated the Joker’s pale skin and crazy tattoos, but if you want an easier way to get the look we’ve got you covered with a set of temporary tattoos.

Men’s Suicide Squad Joker Wig Suicide Squad The Joker Tattoo Kit Suicide Squad Joker Costume

Harley Quinn Suicide Squad Costume

In the movie Harley Quinn moves from her cartoonish red and black traditional costume to a punkier version of Harley Quinn with the combination of red and blue instead. She also sports a pretty nifty baseball bat – what’s with villains and baseball bats?

She still has her pigtails which I think she carries off really well so let’s have a look at Harley Quinn 2016 Suicide Squad version!

Rubie’s Women’s Suicide Squad Harley Quinn Costume Kit

This costume kit includes the jacket and shirt, to pull off the complete look you’ll also need to do the hair in her cute blonde pigtails with the pink and blue dye on alternate pigtails. Some of her jewelry would also add to the look along with the kick ass shoes she wears.

Let’s not forget her baseball bat adorned with the words Good Night!

If you prefer some of Harley Quinn’s other costumes then check out her reinventions from classic Harley to Suicide Squad at Harley Quinn Halloween Costumes.

Suicide Squad Deadshot Halloween Costume

Brought to life by Will Smith in the 2016 movie Deadshot is decked out in red and black as you can see in the official licensed costume below –

Men’s Suicide Squad Deadshot Costume

All you need to add is some black combat boots and you’ve got a great Suicide Squad costume.

Suicide Squad Katana Costume

The Suicide Squad’s martial arts master is none other than Katana and if you want to pull off her costume I’ve found a great costume kit for you below –

Women’s Suicide Squad Katana Costume Kit

This costume kit includes the jacket with attached shirt and Katana’s mask. Complete the outfit by adding a pair of black trousers and a Katana wig (unless, of course you can style your hair like hers).

Killer Croc Suicide Squad Halloween Costume

Another member of the squad is Killer Croc, born Waylon Jones he has a genetic disorder which causes his skin to look like it belongs on a reptile. After killing his aunt he joined a travelling circus under the name of Killer Croc and the rest is super villain history.

Now I’m sure if you’re a make up artist or special effects guru you could recreate the look of Killer Croc’s skin for Halloween, but for mere mortals like myself there are masks available. This costume kit includes both a mask and gloves along with his jacket and attached hoodie so all you need to add is a pair of jeans and you have the perfect Killer Croc costume for this Halloween.

Suicide Squad Killer Croc Costume Kit

Whether you dress up as your favorite member of the Suicide Squad or something different this Halloween I hope you’ve enjoyed looking at these costume ideas with me, personally I love the new ‘take no prisoners’ Harley Quinn look.
