Halloween Inspiration

My absolute favourite ‘holiday’ is upon us, Halloween!!!!  Old Hallows Eve gets me all goose-pimply, not with horry but with excitment for the night ahead!  This year we have another party to go to and I for one cannot wait, fancy dress is only ever cool on Halloween; just look at the AW12 Marc Jacobs collection and you’llsoon be geared up for a night of bewitching***

No surprise then where my outfit inspiration has come from this year?  I’ve bought a wicked (in both senses) deep violet hat, similar to the colours seen in the Marc Jacobs AW12 colllection. 

Everything about the collection, from the pilgrim buckled shoes to the thick, scruffy knits topped off with the creepy velvet hats – screams Halloween!!  I will be paying special attention to the heavily applied kitsch make-up! 

Thank you Marc for making this years Halloween a fashionable one!

It might be a recession but I didn’t realise the fashion houses were so thrifty these days; two models (sometimes more!) for the price of one was on offer at  number of shows!  Apparently this season one model just wasn’t enough!  Paired by hair colour at Louis Vuitton, reflected in mirrors in New York and for maximum impact in London, they just kept coming….
