It’s not just for the kids! Halloween is one of my favourite times of the year too. Year after year it becomes more of a challenge to be creative with Halloween costume ideas.

What are the best Halloween costumes of 2013?

I think it’s safe to say that even our picks of best Halloween Costumes of 2012 are still popular this year.

This year, a few new fun and quirky Halloween costume additions:

Minecraft anything. My kids, especially my 6.5 year old is obsessed. The only costume idea I’ve found searching the web is making a cardboard box to put over his head – ummmm no. But there is a website dedicated to Minecraft costumes that could inspire.

H&M has some amazing, intricate costumes for kids, with 25% of all sales going directly to All for Children.

With the Royal family in the spotlight since Prince George was born, dressing up as the Queen or Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge would be a popular choice. A simple navy wrap dress would be an easy choice, or if you can manage to find a similar polka-dot dress as Kate wore when leaving the hospital after giving birth, even better!

You can’t escape the Kardashians – they are everywhere. So you may as well just get even closer to the reality stars by dressing up as Kim Kardashian this halloween.

Any costume that has an abundance of gore and blood is popular. The more gruesome, the better. I think many will take a costume cue from popular television shows such as True Blood, Dexter and The Walking Dead. Fans can choose from either dressing up as a zombie, vampire or murderer.

With the popularity of other TV drama Sons of Anarchy, I think we’ll see a few bikers cruising around the party circuit.
Breaking Bad has been the most talked about TV show of the year so I’m thinking people dressed as Walter White in his yellow hazmat suit.
