Witch Please!

Channel a look worthy of The Craft with my latest wishlist - perfect for the modern witch!

Hey all, hope you all had a good weekend and got all Halloweeny themed!

I've been pretty lazy tbh the last couple of Halloweens and have done abit of dress up for work but not much else! This one happens to fall bang on my pay day (which totally and utterly sucks!) and it means I've had no monies to prepare get anything together for the day aside carving my pumpkin! booo! Was worth my last £2 to buy one though, can't be Halloween without one.

Luckily, I've also found an idea I can dress up as without spending anything as I have a few In Your Dreams face jewels left from Brighton Pride and have made myself a turban out of some excess tie dye fabric, abit of imagination later and I'm a tarot card reader for Halloween yay! :) There won't be an outfit post on this one as its been a busy workday so I haven't had the time to shoot this but promise I will do try to do a Halloween themed post or two next year!

Whilst searching for ideas though I stumbled on these amazing witchy pretties and made this wishlist! Too good just to wear for Halloween! My faves are the Night Orb Leggings & Current Mood Boots! Whats yours? :)

Happy Halloween!

Neck Ties & Boho Layering

Trying out the new season trends - The neck tie is fast becoming my new favourite accessory..

Grey Ribbed Midi Dress // Ebay (coming to a Depop near you!)

Nightfall Dress // Gypsy Warrior

Grey Bandana, Pink Mongolian Furry bag & Silver Hair clickers // New Look
(now buy one get one free in New Look!)

The infamous Gypsy Warrior dress is back - though to be honest it wasn't intended! I had actually planned to wear the grey ribbed dress I'm wearing underneath but when it arrived the other day I realised it was actually a midi dress, rather than a maxi dress which the eBay seller had described...boo!!

Its only one of a few my eBay faux pas though I've had over the years but this one was pretty annoying as I have been wanting a long sleeved maxi in grey for ages and was chuffed when I came across this Asos one on eBay..ah well - will prob end up adding this to Depop soon or just saving for workwear as its far to clingy and Kardashian like for me to want to wear at the weekend!

So I threw my trusty mesh dress over the top, its one of very few items in my wardrobe that gets worn regularly and I could never be without it. I prob should of done a how to wear this dress at least 10 different ways posts instead of the last two posts but oh well! Guess its a good thing to start wearing my wardrobe more often instead of new outfits all the time.

My fave thing though is the newest trend for this season - the neck tie. I used to wear alot of neck ties when I was a teen but am pleased these are making a comeback but as bandana neck ties! I have been stocking up on all different colours lately and love how they make make any outfit look chic in a few seconds! expect to see these making an appearance in alot of upcoming posts (which hopefully won't include my gypsy warrior dress!!)

Mongolian Fluffies & Camo layering..

I give camouflage a girly/grunge twist with a pink mesh dress and fluffy bag...

Camouflage Shirt // H&M

Nightfall Sheer Maxi Dress // Gypsy Warrior

Mongolian Pink Faux Fur Bag // New Look

Purple Floral Spiked Headband & Lion Finger Tattoo // Topshop

Boots // Boohoo

Sorry for my very tired face! has been a crazy week! You may also note in these as well as my dark circles I have what looks like cling film wrapped around my right index finger..that's because I randomly managed to cut myself - not quite sure on what!! - and all I had whilst shooting was some left over cling film in my pocket so that had to do the job for a while! luckily noticed before getting blood all over my fluffy bag and pale pink dress, that would of been a nightmare! The not so glamorous life of a fashion blogger! I should do a post with my blooper photos in it one day so you can see all the crap I go through to take photos lol! :)

Anyway! on to the outfit, I finally managed to get my hands on a camo shirt. A pretty well known staple piece, camo is great for layering over so many things and it just goes with nearly everything! I don't know why I have waited so long before finally getting one. I know I'll be getting plenty of wear out of it.

Here I've teamed it up with my fave Gypsy Warrior pink maxi I posted about not so long ago with the pentagram harness. it kind of gives it a cool grungy edge to the pink and gives it a more casual look.

I couldn't resist throwing in a couple of sales buys - my mongolian furry bag which I found one in London in the sales a few weeks back and these very Cara D style lion finger tattoos - she's always been a huge style crush of mine! :)

ooohh, speaking of fashion queens, I managed to get tickets for London Fashion Weekend in a couple of weeks! yay! :) It will be my first one, let me know if you're going and what you plan on wearing (unless its top secret of course!) Can't wait to see fellow fashion lovers there!

Pentagram Harness

Pentagram Cage Bra // Ebay

Rose Pink Mesh Maxi Dress // Gypsy Warrior

Black Wide Brim Fedora // TK Maxx

Black 20's style Bralet (worn underneath) // Ann Summers

Black Biker Boots (old)

I'm still obsessed with all things mesh seeing as its not really that cold yet, sneakily sneaking as much wear out of these in the next couple of weeks possible!

This is the dress that you may remember I mentioned in a post just before I went on honeymoon about that I picked up in the Gypsy Warrior in the Labour day sale. Its is just perfect for layering and more importantly is the perfect length for petite ladies, yay!

I love mesh cus it also allows you not only to get creative with layering but they are great for showing off undergarments as well - if u wear them over the top or underneath! underwear is outerwear! :)

This strappy cage harness pentagram top is fab for wearing underneath or over the top of your clothes as shown - I really wanted to get one to experiment with different looks you can create, I love harness straps worn over the top of shirts as well - will def have to try this in the future! :)

Do you have any other tips for rocking a harness? Share your tips below!

Heya all!!

Hope u all had a great bank holiday weekend! , this time as for me its the month of birthdays and Rich is starting a new job next week we decided to take it easy. Lie-ins, films and Dominos Pizza for three days...heaven!

This also means as he's working nearer now it may mean I no longer have as much time to do as many blog posts as I do now and they may start to become abit sporadic.. admittedly am sad about this as this blog has really kept me going although it is exciting to start a new chapter and be on to new exciting adventures...expect there to be a few DIY posts and homewear hauls in the not too distant future between OOTD posts!

I managed to get the chance to pop my Rokoko flares on whilst it wasn't raining..yay! though it was freezing and windy as u can prob tell by my face..def didn't wear that crop top much longer...booo! This is my first and definitely not last Gypsy Warrior purchase! There's so much amazinness on that website!

I'm also going crazy for all thing Asos at the moment - there SS15 stuff is just insaaane! my pintrest full of Asos stuff right now!

I HAD to pick up this pompom bum bag having wanted one for travelling adventures for ages! so useful to have and alot nicer to carry around if its hot abroad that a large bag over you're shoulder all the time. now just to book a holiday...destination suggestions welcome! :)
