Halloween is just around the corner and almost everybody is starting to prepare for this beloved holiday. However, everyone tends to find inspiration in things such as mythology or thriller or any kind of made-up characters that we’ve seen in countless fairy tales, Sci-fi shows, and whatnot.

But, what if you could choose a costume that would go directly with your tastes in entertainment? What if you could go to that local Halloween party dressed as something giving a strong casino vibe?

In this article, we will give you some ideas on how you can create some of the most interesting and eye-catching costumes for yourself as well as your friends. Some of them will indeed be based on Sci-fi or fantasy characters, but hey, as long as they correlate with anything relevant to a casino, they’re alright in our books.

So, without further ado, let’s begin.

Red Queen from Alice in Wonderland

It’s always nice to have some kind of source material and not have to do anything from scratch right? Well, the Red Queen from Alice in Wonderland is probably one of the best inspirations you can take from a fantasy movie or fairy tale.

Although it’s not directly outlined in the story that Red Queen represents the queen of hearts, it’s very heavily hinted at it. The overall shape of her hair, the color of the dress and the small hearts sewn inside the dress.

It would be just as easy to simply change the color pallet and turn it into something like the Black Queen, where the red is replaced with black, and the emphasis on the hearts is replaced with an emphasis on spades.

Pinterest seems to agree with us on this idea, as there’s a bunch of dresses to be seen in the source we found there.

We believe it would be an amazing costume worthy of applause from everybody else.

A slot machine

As goofy as it may sound, there are actually costumes out there that you can either make, rent or buy that are basically interactive slot machines, well at least according to Casinopånett they are so, why not use them for a fun party.

The costume is very simple and isn’t necessarily designed for just women or just men. It’s pretty unisex.

However, make sure that when you’re designing the costume, you make sure that it’s interactive and can actually spin the reels if somebody pulls the lever. If you check the source, you’ll find out that it makes for a really nice ice breaker with strangers and an even better tool for playing games with friends at a party.

A roulette dress

Finally, let’s finish off this article with another dress for our female readers. The idea of the dress is pretty simple.

Imagine something which has the shape of a cone that has been cut off in the middle. You turn it upside down and simply mark it with the red, black and green colors that are present in roulette games.

If you’re extra dedicated to making it as perfect as possible, you can simply make this part of the dress from a special type of fabric that will allow a ball to spin and land on specific parts, thus creating a roulette from scratch of sorts.

Believe us when we say that this costume will definitely but you in the center of attention.

What’s better than spending time in a beautiful garden that has stunning flowers in it? A splash of color, sweet aromas, and looking at how nature works is a great way to spend a few minutes of each day – whether it’s a place to have your morning coffee or just something to look at as you have your hot drink indoors on a chilly day.

We want to enjoy our gardens all year round, and want to keep those rich colors through all the seasons. These are some of the flowers and plants you may want to have in your space to do that, depending on the soil and climate of where you live.

Spring

This is a great time of year to experience your garden – everything feels fresh, new, and exciting as we get to feel the growing warmth of the sun on us after a long, cold winter. It’s when nature seems to come to life again, too, with new plants and animals making their ways into the world.

Most flowering blooms do so during the spring, which also helps make this feel like a special time of year. Anemones, forsythia, and peonies are great flowers to choose for your garden. If you have trees, you’ll also benefit from their blossoms and are a great sight.

Summer

This is a beautiful time of year. The sun’s out, it’s warm, and we spend a lot of our time in the garden – either our own or other people’s – as we make this space another room to our homes.

Wildflowers such as poppies, echinacea, and primroses will be a great, low-maintenance addition to your garden that will add stunning splashes of colors in every shade throughout the season. It’s easy enough to get seeds from places such as https://www.naturesseed.com/wildflower-seed/ to bring blooms to your borders. The only thing you need to plan will be getting the seeds in time for planting.

Autumn

It’s time to put on our coziest jumpers, warmest woollies, and big boots. Once it’s time for pumpkin spice lattes and apple pies, it’s time for autumn. The tree leaves change to beautiful shades of orange, red, yellow, and brown – for many of us, it’s our favorite time of year.

You can still get other colors in your garden, though, including pansies and hardy begonias. You could also go for flowering cabbages and a variety of sedum plants.

Winter

The bright, crisp mornings can tempt us outside (unless we have to for work or school), but we’re usually wrapped up in blankets, and we conclude there isn’t much reason to go outside and appreciate our gardens?

However, if you’ve thought long-term for your plant choice, you should have evergreens such as hollies and other berry bushes that will add bright shades to the otherwise dull colors outside. Towards the end of this season, you might also get the likes of snowdrops peeping through – showing that spring is just around the corner.

They’ve got their streamlined suits on, their carefully-selected bold-hued ties and their power pearl necklaces all in place – and each and every fashion choice has a big strategy behind it. When it comes to politics, every detail matters – every word, every move and yes, every style statement. Online retailer of pearl jewelry Laguna Pearl invited Behavioral Psychologist, Dr Carolyn Mair, founder of psychology.fashion, and author of The Psychology of Fashion, to share her valuable insight on the fashion choices of the 2020 presidential candidates.

Whether they choose their garments based on who they want to be seen as or on who they truly are, one thing is for certain: every little detail, from the color of a suit, a cap or a shirt to the type (and the amount) of accessories they opt for conveys something specific about their political game. The public’s perception is strongly influenced by the candidates’ style choices, such as wearing or not wearing a tie – or simply adding a lapel pin in the equation.

When it comes to President Trump, Dr. Mair says his signature red tie is definitely not random – in fact, it’s a pivotal element in a game of power, designed to convey authority. The President’s style mojo seems to oscillate around the idea of “I’m the boss, and you can put your trust in me” – and he does it successfully. Mair notes that Trump’s decision to adhere to classic business attire is a clear representation of a traditional figure, one that doesn’t mingle with progressive ideas and prefers conformity.

On the other hand, blue is the go-to choice of candidates who are (or want to seem) more relatable , such as Joe Biden, whose image is fully dedicated to the idea of “confidence and trust”. Presenting himself as the rather ordinary candidate, or one of “the common people”, Biden’s style choices, while still put-together, perfectly reflect his jovial nature and accessibility. His style is definitely not static – in fact, it’s ever-changing, yet unmistakably his. Biden is a fan of fashionable clothing that is always fitted, yet casual in silhouette. Mair observes that many of his outfits are not only approachable, but also friendly, cool and classic – a successful style recipe. 

In the analysis Dr. Mair conducted for Laguna Pearl, Bernie Sanders stands out as the political figure that resembles most the image of “your favorite uncle”. With his arsenal of loose hair and oversized shirts, his choices are rather nonchoices and his style overall looks like an afterthought – but that might simply be his strategy aimed at winning hearts and votes. Authenticity seems to be one of the main goals when it comes to Bernie Sanders – which is why he often comes across as someone not preoccupied with fashion – and that may appeal to voters, who can easily resonate with a political figure who isn’t trying to use fashion as a political tool.

When it comes to the women in the run for presidency, Kamala Harris and Elizabeth Warren count on accessories to make a statement. The two candidates often opt for a classic pearl necklace as their statement piece, but take slightly different approaches when it comes to their garments. Harris oscillates between smart-casual and modern pieces, always impeccably tailored, while Warren embraces bold color to the fullest and opts for saturated sweaters and blazers – unless she’s attending a less formal event, where lighter hues are usually her go-to. Harris gravitates towards ensembles that mix understated clothing pieces with statement jewelry – a style game that often conveys “listening instead of commanding.” While Harris counts on a mish-mash of high and low, Warren “is less interested in creating a stylish image through her clothing” and aims to always communicate trustworthiness and safety.

A look at past candidates reveals that there has been a slight departure from the 24/7 formal business attire – and we’ve seen several political figures exhibiting a much more casual look. One example is presidential candidate Mike Huckabee during the 2016 election campaign, who showed a more relaxed version of himself at The Iowa State Fair. Next, it was Kamala Harris, who also opted for a very casual look as she took the stage at the same event, where she showed a less-tailored form of herself to indicate relatability and openness.
