Make It Hightstreet | Halloween Idols - Morticia Addams

Heyaaa,

As I've said in previous posts, I've got a bit of a soft spot for halloween. So I thought this year I'd do a little mini-series of posts for the week leading up to the ghostly day focussing on those fashionistas that lurk among the classic halloween costumes. Taking their signature look and making them a bit more day to day and a bit more achievable.

First of my halloween idols is the first lady of creep herself, Morticia Addams. Morticia's clothes might seem a bit dated and dreary but I think she personifies halloween glamour. I try to wear a lot of black so for me this character is perfect. Her outfit choices are so interesting considering she has such a limited palette choice. The layering is perfect for the winter, it's too cold for a dress but whack on a detailed cardigan or cover-all and problem solved! Plus chunky rings and over-zealous accessories are always a winner in my book, especially in the winter when I always feel like my wardrobe has got a little bit drab.

Moriticia's outfits probably are a bit too costume-y for day to day wear but her make-up could definitely be used as inspiration for a night-out look. A dark smokey eye and classic red lip are a go-to look and there's about 1000 tutorials online for them (maybe don't mention the Addams family if someone compliments you on how glam you look...). I've included GOSH black eyeshadow just because I used to love doing a super simple smokey eye with it and Kate Moss lipstick because they're just awesome!

It's the most spookiest time of the year | Black Milk - All Killer No Filler 2013

Well hey there,

It's October, it has been for a while but this year has gone so quick I feel like I've only just really realised it is! I quite like October as a month. Firstly, autumn FRICKIN' RAWRKS! Winter coats and wooly jumpers yes please. Also, 31st October is the spookiest of all the holidays, Halloweeeeen!! I love halloween because it combines all my favourite things; dressing up, sweets and drinking.

Anyway, I'm going to do a little series of posts in the week running up to Halloween but I thought I'd add in a little extra early one, forget the tricks I'm all about the treats...

Black Milk is a brand I've fallen mildly in love with recently. I think it's because I have the penchant for novelty clothes which Black Milk fulfills in every kind of way. They've done some amazing collections before but their halloween ones really are something special. I love how out there the designs are, they steer clear of a lot of the halloween stereotypes which makes it that much cooler.

Black Milk definitely has a bit of a price tag but from what I've heard about them the quality is well worth it! I feel like the pieces would work really well if you've been invited to a halloween party but dressing up is not your cup of tea. Chuck a pair of leggings on with a t shirt or a body suit on under a pair of shorts and you've got yourself an instant go-to costume which will last you a good couple of halloweens!

I have found myself particularly lusting over the 'Mechanical Mermaid' leggings wishing my bank balance (and figure) was a bit more forgiving to that much lycra!

So do you like Black Milk? Have you had a look through their collections - they're really something! 

P.s I'm trying to be a lot more active on my blog at the moment so hope you like the more regular posts. If you have any suggestions for other posts plzzzz let me know...
