Inject some gothic style into your wardrobe with a Victorian inspired puff sleeve or ruffle blouse
Fashion is cyclical and many trends come back in fashion every few years. The Victorian inspired puff sleeve is no exception with many high street fashion brands such as Oasis and Zara featuring this style in their latest collections.
The puff sleeve originates during the late Victorian era (1890s) with women’s dresses and outer garments featuring a ‘leg of mutton’ or gigot style puff sleeve. The puff stopped at the elbow and the lower arm was swathed in tight-fitting fabric to the wrists. The sleeves would be lined with stiffened fabric to retain their shape. …

These creepy photos of children dressed up in Halloween costumes look like they are straight out of a Tim Burton movie!
Halloween costumes from the first half of the 20th century were truly terrifying. Before Halloween evolved into the family-friendly, party occasion we know it as, October 31 was deeply linked to ghosts and superstitions.

I don’t know about you but for the last 6 months while working from home, I’ve been living in leggings, t-shirts and slippers! There is nothing better than getting up out of bed at 8:30am (instead of 7am!) and pulling on a comfy pair of leggings, my favourite t-shirt and slipping into some cosy slippers.
