The beauty of dressing up is the getaway feeling as a result from doing so. That moment of escapism when you get to be whomsoever your heart desires and you absolutely kill it! Come to think of it, playing dress up and make believe is something we’ve all learnt to do and love since we were teensy toddlers and took turns with our fellow teensy-toddler-friends at being Supermum / Doctor Doctor / Teacher Teacher!
But we all know the cardinal rule: Age is just a number and I love Halloween as much today as I did when I was yay-tall with a bag full of treats! So with Halloween approaching rapidly, we’ve got the blueprint for where you can score some great costumes online.

Two words: Miley Cyrus. We expect to find a lot of Miley’s roaming the streets this year but to complete the look, you’d also need the infamous foam finger she used as a prop (against Robin Thicke’s goodies) during her VMA performance. Complete your Miley persona this Halloween with the Miley Cyrus Foam Twerk Finger and a Twerk Bear Costume Tank. Here’s your one stop destination to let your inner Miley out this Halloween!
Delta’s Dazzling Costumes & Party Supplies
This online shop specialises in costumes for all occasions and is based in Australia. They offer international shipping and use DHL for their overseas shipments, including Malaysia!
At Delta’s, a wide range of costumes for all occasions is provided, but what really caught my eye was the adorable his and hers Monster University outfits available here. Guys, ditch the pressure of flashing your six pack like Spartan Kings this Halloween and you’ll still draw the ladies and lots of aww’s, I promise!
eBay
Good God, did anyone else have to bite their tongue every time a preggers Kim Kardashian picture popped up? I sure did! Nonetheless, we reckon Kim K at the Met Ball will be an inevitable Halloween get up this year. In doing so, you can shop your basic necessities, aka a fat suit, to replicate preggers Kimmy right here on eBay!
A quick aside to Kim, imitation really is the sincerest form of flattery! 
Windy City Novelties
The look that ceases to grow old and the object of many men’s desires, Princess Leia, can be picked up from the US based online costume store here. Windy City Novelties can ship directly to you in Malaysia and prep you to drop the jaws of dorks and non-dorks alike! They’ve even got a Princess Leia Headband to combat any reservations you may have in being royalty for the night.

Last, but most certainly not least, drop by Heaven Costumes to shop flapper dresses that have been an all-year round fave for themed parties in 2013 (big thanks to ‘The Great Gatsby’!).
