I wanted to wear something a bit more colourful than the usual Halloween costumes here in the UK (skeletons, witches and ghosts etcetera) and was fascinated by the “Day of the Dead” celebrations in Mexico, especially the vibrant costumes.

Hi! My name is Alanna Kendall and ever since I can remember I’ve been obsessed with Halloween… well obsessed with getting dressed up and costumes actually.
