My Skims Bodysuit Cat Halloween Costume

A Black Cat Costume For Halloween Happy Halloween everyone! You guys know that I love doing my annual Halloween costume (some of my previous ones include Tinkerbell, Captain America, Wonder Woman, a Cowgirl, Little Red Riding Hood, a Devil/Angel and many more) and this year I have done it a little different! I am in the United States again for a very short time and I’m celebrating Halloween here! There was a really cool party that Christen and I went to over the weekend, so I got to wear my costume out all night, and so did he! As you can see, I am a black cat! I put this outfit together using my Skims Black Bodysuit in size small (click here to buy it) and my Duo Empress Boots that are thigh high. I finished it off with my cat ears and cat makeup. I love how this costume turned out, it’s probably my favourite rendition of a cat costume that I’ve ever put together. It felt a little odd being out in just a tight bodysuit, but it was fun! Christen on the other hand, he went all out with his Spider-Man costume! Can you see how epic his is? Ha ha. He actually looks like Spider-Man! American’s do Halloween so differently to us in the UK, so it has been such a fun experience! The costumes that people put together were so creative! Instead of just being scary like I’m used to, I saw two girls dressed as the Step Brothers movie, I saw Einstein, and so many more creative outfits! I have to say that the…

Happy Halloween – A Fallen Angel Devil

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Happy Halloween everyone! As you know, I love to do a costume every single year, creating something new and different, but last year, due to Covid, I wasn’t able to do one. I don’t usually opt into the realm of scary or evil costumes, but this year, I wanted to embrace that and do something sexy and fun. I chose to do a fallen angel/Devil combination with two different latex playsuits! The black feathered wings were really inexpensive and they were from the children’s department. All of the accessories were cheap actually, the priciest part was the bodysuit, but even that wasn’t too bad. I bought all of these items separately and put this together myself, so it’s not an actual costume that you can buy as a set – it’s all my own creation. I absolutely love it though! I had so much fun shooting these photos and I even spent a few hours creating a fun video, which you can check out below. What do you think of my costume this year? You can check out my previous costumes here. Lorna xx. Click here to see my Halloween costume video!

A Country Girl Halloween

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! I hadn’t given any of you a preview of my Halloween costume this year (see my previous costumes here), and I was really excited because I absolutely adore country and Western, so doing a cowgirl seemed extremely fitting! I was even more excited that Adam got involved this year and joined me as a cowboy, which you can see below! The best part about this costume was that I put it together out of pieces I already had in my closet! I was wearing my Vintage Levi’s 501 Cut Off Denim Shorts, paired with my Gucci GG Belt (fashionable cowgirl, ha ha) and worn with my Topshop Snake Print Boots. For the shirt, I got this Superdry Bailey Shirt in Yellow, and finished it off with my Brixton Hat and some freckles! Adam’s required a little more props as he got a holster and a toy gun, as well as a bandana! We shot these photos in the little village nearby as there’s a perfect gate and scenery for this type of outfit. A few passers by came over to see what was going on and asked what it was for, even said we needed a horse, ha ha. I really enjoyed this shoot though, and I get excited every year for Halloween costume time! I would happily wear this outfit on a regular day though if the shorts were a little longer! That’s how much I love the Western vibe! What do you think? What’s your costume? Lorna xx. *This post contains affiliate links to help keep this blog running.

Jessica Rabbit

My Jessica Rabbit Costume First off, Happy Halloween to all of you for tomorrow! So many of you have been asking me what my annual Halloween costume was going to be, and I tried to not give too much away, but for those of you who follow me on Instagram (@LornaRaindrops) you will have seen some preview videos from the photoshoot over the weekend, so a lot of you recently knew what costume was coming! I actually had a hard time narrowing this one down as I didn’t want to buy a full costume this time around, instead wanting to make one out of normal clothing. I already had the red wig, so I was figuring out what character to be with red hair, and decided on Jessica Rabbit. I picked up a red dress online quite cheap, sans sequins, and then ordered some purple gloves off of eBay, and chose to wear my Christian Louboutin Pigalle. I know Jessica Rabbit has red shoes, but I couldn’t find mine typically, so this is my own personal take on it. Halloween is actually one of my favourite times of the year as I really do love dressing up in costume, as I know you know! If you remember my previous years costumes (Cat Woman, Tinkerbell, Wonder Woman, Captain America, Red Riding Hood) then you know it’s a tradition of mine, and something I look forward to as the end of October approaches. Channeling my inner Jessica Rabbit was actually harder than I thought it would be though since she oozes a lot of sex appeal and is incredibly confident, which are…

Happy Christmas From Lorna Reindeer

Merry Christmas Everyone! It’s Christmas Eve! How did that happen? This week leading up to Christmas has been really fun though. I’ve spent the entire week with Adam (he’s back home with family now) and we’ve done a lot of cool things – one of which I will be sharing with you in my next post after Christmas. Although if you follow me on Instagram (@LornaRaindrops), you can see a preview in my IG stories on my account! That’s if you can’t wait until the 28th! I know the previous years I’ve done Christmas costumes (like Mrs. Claus and an Elf), but this year I decided not to as it’s much too cold and I was trying to limit stress. Instead, I went for something festive and cute! I got these reindeer antlers on a headband from Accessorize a couple of weeks ago in preparation, they are sold out now unfortunately, but they’re adorable! They’re glittery and have little bells on the holly inside the ears. So cute! Now getting to the star of the show, this Christmas jumper! I asked you on IG in a poll if you wanted to see me style it and most of you said yes! It’s an Oasis Fairisle Pink Jumper that I picked up on ASOS and it’s gorgeous! You don’t often see neon pink jumpers with fairisle as they’re always in the Christmas colours, so I love this one! A cashier woman at a shop said she loved it on me too and thought the pink was pretty. It sold out on ASOS within 2 days and now they have a couple…

Little Red Riding Hood

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Hey everyone! As per tradition, like I’ve been doing for around 5 years now, here is my Halloween costume for this year! I’m sure you’ve already guessed what I might be, based on the title or by my iconic red cape, but if you scrolled right past all of that… I’m Little Red Riding Hood! When it comes to my Halloween costumes, I absolutely love dressing up and I start thinking about what I want to be months in advance. You already know that I don’t celebrate the actually holiday itself, neither do my family, but the part I love is being a character and wearing a costume for a fun photo shoot – all for you readers! So far I’ve been Cat Woman, Tinkerbell, Wonder Woman, Miss Captain America, and now Little Red Riding Hood is added to the mix. It’s hard narrowing it down to what might be my favourite from all of the years and I know last years Cap costume tips it for me, but this one does come close. I just love them all and I find them all unique in their own way. I actually purchased this costume a few weeks ago and luckily it wasn’t too cold in the woods when we shot these photos. I did have to do a bit of hiding though when some walkers went by as the skirt area on this costume is incredibly short, but it was all fun! I thought the Little Red Riding Hood costume would suit the thigh high boots though as it gives it more of a mature, darker edge. Plus…

Santa Baby

Firstly, Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you’re all ready and excited for the holiday! It’s been a crazy week for me actually and not one that was ideal leading up to Christmas. It started with the bad cold that I had and told you about, which then led to an awful cold sore which I got on Saturday, just as I was spending a week with Adam. A week with Adam, just before Christmas, and no kissing? It wasn’t great at all. Then because of the cold sore I ended up getting hives as well, and on top of that there’s numerous other things that keep going wrong and are worrying as well. I just hope those situations can sort themselves out as they are out of my control, but it never stops me worrying unfortunately. Now that most of the bad things are out the way, I’m hoping Christmas day might actually be ok, lol. Anyway, Adam and I shot these Christmas photos a little while ago ready for this blog post! I posted to my social media a couple of times and had you vote for what costume you wanted me to wear this year, which was between my Elf outfit and this Mrs. Santa costume, and this one won! It was lucky that it did actually as I teamed up with American Tourister as well and it was a perfect match. I have their Skytracer 4 Wheel Cabin Baggage Spinner Suitcase in Formula Red. How cool is it? I was definitely doing the job of Mrs. Santa as inside the suitcase were some festive gifts which were…

Miss Captain America

My Miss Captain America Costume Before I start this blog post, I wanted to say that this is my favourite costume and favourite set of photos that I have ever done here on Raindrops of Sapphire. Not only is Captain America my favourite comic book character as you all know, but turning myself and these photos into a real life comic book was like a dream come true for me too. It’s taken hours to edit and do this entire shoot from start to finish, but I have to say that I’m incredibly proud of these photos and I haven’t had as much fun on a shoot as this! I originally made a blog post earlier this month with Halloween costume ideas and wanted you all to guess which one I would be choosing. Most of you got it right as I had chosen to be Miss America! I got this costume from Escapade and I think it’s fantastic. It fits really well actually and is quite comfortable, but it doesn’t come with the boots, so I had some help getting hold of these thigh high pvc red ones from a friend and I think they suit the costume perfectly. Halloween is one of my favourite days of the year, not because of the holiday as I don’t celebrate it, but because it means I get to dress up in costume and I love any excuse for that! Anyway, I really hope that I’ve done Captain America justice and you all love it too! And for those of you who just want to see the outfit and aren’t into the…
