It’s strange that something meant to be funny can create such diverse feelings of love or hate. And the figure of these emotions? Clowns. Not necessarily the person behind the grease paint and wearing the colourful jacket and baggy trousers, no, rather the persona of the clown itself. No matter you may think of them, a Clown Costumes are perfect for all ages and it makes a terrific family circus costume theme. 

So here we go with the start of Oktoberfest 2013. This is one of the world’s most popular celebrations with over 6 million revellers annually attending the celebrations in Munich.  A time for traditional dress, beer and snacks, Oktoberfest has long been the most popular time for the wearing of Lederhosen (for men) and the Dirndl (for women).  There's still time to find an event to attend - here we've listed just a few - or you could plan your own party with all of the costumes, accessories, party goods and decorations right here!

Breast cancer is still here. It’s still tearing apart the lives of families and it’s still taking the lives of the women we love on a heartbreaking scale. So the search for a cure needs to continue and for that to happen money to fund the research programs needs to continue to be raised. Which is where 'Wear it Pink' comes in. This now annual event during autumn sees thousands dressed in pink and doing all manner of silly things in-order to raise money and awareness of the life-saving research which needs to continue until a cure is found.

We're often asked for costume ideas and suggestions, by both men and women, for an outfit that will not only work well at Halloween but also at other times during the year.  We don't hesitate in putting foward a superhero, or even a super villain, fancy dress as one to think about. And top of the list, well that has to be the man of steel - Superman! 

As we prepare ourselves for the upcoming Halloween season, we thought we’d take a closer look at some of the major Costume themes in a little more detail.  In this blog, we’ll take a look at one of the most popular of Halloween costume themes in recent years and one that is sure to remain amongst the most eagerly sought after; Saw Costumes and Accessories.
