Mamma Mia! Is it almost time for Halloween already? Well, for all you ladies who grew up in the 70s, I have real treat of a costume idea for you. How about donning some outfits inspired by the Swedish pop sensation, Abba? Lets take a look at what is out there. If you are shopping from the UK or EU, head here for ABBA costumes.

Is Super Trooper your favorite Abba hit? Well you definitely want to pick up the awesome white costume above, which comes with the long-sleeved white top, trousers, belt-tie and the cute blue hat. This costume is very frequently see worn with the cute blue and white poncho on the right, so pick one of those up if you want to go all out. 

Forum Novelties Women's 70's Disco
Fever Disco Mamma Costume
There are a lot of costumes out there that have been inspired by the Super Trooper look, in a variety of different colors. My personal favorite is the blue and pink tie-die number on the left, but you can also get a psychedelic bronze version, and a bold hot pink outfit. Pick your favorite and hit the stage!

I also like the white and gold-trim version of the costume featured below - it's very glitzy. Each set of this costume comes with the glamorous top, the ruffled pants and the cool golden belt. This costume is bound to make you look abba-solutely fabulous!

Finally, regardless of which outfit you go for, finish it off with some cute choice accessories. For example, go-go boots were all the rage back them, and ABBA wore them as a staple, so pick up yours right here. Also, if you don't already have long blond hair, you can get a wig which will complete the look right here. Oh and the glittery microphone featured in many of these pictures? You can get that right here.

Top Ten Cute Mermaid Costumes for Children

California Costumes Toys Little Mermaid Costume
Let's Pretend Child's Deluxe
Mermaid Costume
Mermaid are magical aren't they? Lots of little girls dream of shedding the surface world for the deep sea, and Halloween is the perfect time to live out that fantasy. To help out all the burgeoning sea-princesses out there, I've collected my top 10 favorite mermaid costumes for children into one place for you to check out. Most of these costumes are also available in the UK and EU here.

The main style of mermaid costume is a slinky dress with a tail shape at the base. Many of these are in soft sea-themed colors, such as seashell purples and light blues that evoke gentle waves, such as the Let's Pretend mermaid costume on the right. Those net sleeves and the pearl beads coming from the skirt are absolutely gorgeous don't you think?

Another of my favorites is the California Costumes Little Mermaid costume featured at the top of this page. The glittery sequin skirt is very beautiful. Each set comes with the dress and the seashell headpiece.

Creative Education's
Pink Mermaid Dress
For girls who love to look pretty in pink, the mermaid costumes need not disappoint! There are load of pink colored mermaid costumes out there to please any girly-girl, such as In Character's mermaid costume featured above. I love how shimmery the tail is, and the contrast of baby blue and bubblegum pink works really well. This would look great paired with a seaweed themed feather boa like this one

Big Girls' Mermaid Costume
Is that not enough pink for you? Well in that case take a look at the Creative Education costume on the left. It features lots of different shades of pinks in shiny and glistening materials Every costume comes with both the dress and that super cute sea-slower themed headband. That'll complete the look!

Need a little less pink and a little more sparkle? Well the Big Girls' mermaid costume might be just the thing for your daughter. The skirt is insanely glittery, and I love how puffy and elegant the base of the skirt is! She'll definitely look like a mermaid princess in this lovely costume.

If she prefers deeper, richer colors, then check out the two dark blue mermaid costumes above. I love the patterns on both of these - they are so intricate and beautiful! The little net accents on the dresses really add a magical feel to them too. Both include the incredible dresses, while the costume on the right comes with a matching headpiece.

Green/Turquoise Mermaid Costume
Ace Halloween Children's
Mermaid Princess Costumes
Another style of mermaid costume is not to have a mermaid tail at the base of it but instead allude to it with a mermaid shaped dress skirt at the bottom. My personal favorite of these is the green costume above - the shape is unusual and unique and the color is very bold and pretty. I think any little girl would love it!

Child Bubbly Mermaid Costume
Another cute one is the sheer fabric-tailed skirt and interestingly patterned dress on the right. The colors are very dainty, and the little flower brooch on the front of the dress is very pretty. 

For all the little ladies out there who want a more mature look to their costumes, take a look at the bubbly purple and green mermaid costume on the left. It's a ball gown style dress inspired by the Little Mermaid's Princess Ariel. It looks amazing!

Not sure the church would approve of that attitude, so I'll just leave the scanty, super-sexy and revealing costume by Smiffy's here and hope nobody finds out. This costume looks amazing and is perfect for those of you who want to show off a bit of skin. Every set comes with the veil and the delightfully naughty halter neck dress with matching suspenders.

Top Five Zombie Nurse Costumes for Women

Smiffy's Women's Zombie Nurse Costume
Here's another instalment of my run of posts on zombie themed costumes for women (you can find the rest here!): zombie nurses! There's something terrifying about those we trust to protect us from sickness succumbing themselves to the same fate, and that is what makes this such an effective costume idea. There are lots of styles available: these are just my personal favorite. Let's take a look! If you are shopping from the UK or EU, head over here for Zombie Nurse costumes.

Ladies Zombie Halloween Costume
First of all, we have two costumes in the iconic and traditional nurses uniform, featured above and to the right. Each set of both of these costumes come with the sexy mini-dress, the 'protective' face mask (not that it did them any good!) and the red cross headpiece. You can get the matching bloody knee-high socks here. Both costumes would look incredible with Funtasma by Pleaser's blood-spattered white high heel pumps, so be sure to check those out. If you're going to be carrying things about, I recommend you do it in this very convincing looking bloody cleaver shaped handbag - it's both a prop and a handy purse.

The first costume above works well as the based for a Silent Hill nurse monster costume too. If that is what you are going for, here is a guide on creating the creepy face mask to finish off the look.

Smiffy's Women's Zombie Scrub Nurse Costume with Dress and Facemask
The traditional white and red nurse outfit might not be the norm nowadays, but the more modern medical scrubs can also look awesome when hosed down in blood and worn by a flesh-eating demon from hell. Case in point is the great costume featured above, courtesy of the National Horror Service (what, it made me laugh). It comes with the mini-dress and the face-mask.

Sexy Women's Zombie Nurse Costume
Don't forget the military! As the first line of defence from the zombie hordes after the initial wave of plucky survivors have met their miserable demise, army nurses are especially vulnerable to a bad case of the brain eating munchies. That's why I like the cute camo-dress style costume on the left. You get a lot of accessories with it too; each set comes with the dress, the matching cap and a shot syringe toy.

Working a bio-hazard lab is the easiest way to get a bad dose of the T-virus, or so the movies would have you believe. Safety procedures are a bit lacking. Playing into that trope is the cool hazardous infectee nurse costume featured below, which comes with the cool mini dress and the matching headpiece.

Biohazard Zombie Nurse Adult Costume

Forum Zombie Cheerleader Costume

Zombie Cheerleader Female
Fancy Dress Costume Black
For a lighter look, I highly recommend the Forum zombie cheerleader costume featured above. It has more of a gothic look than most other zombie cheerleader costume, emphasising the 'Zombie' end of things. 

Feeling morbid? So is the zombie cheerleader on the left, even though she's got a great outfit on her. It doesn't come with the pom-poms, but you can get a good set here in a variety of different colors quite cheaply.
