The one thing I hate about fancy dress is how much it costs to buy an outfit that you'll probably not get a chance to wear again, unless you want to go as the same thing the next time which in my opinion takes the fun out of it. So this year I thought, right, i'm going to find something that I can make look halloweeny but can also be used for other occasions or just general wear. All these pieces are from asos. Luckily, at the moment the gothic trend is around at the moment so theres a lot of spikes, skulls, leather and gorgeous blacks and metallic fabrics available. For me, the cobweb dress and maxi skirt below are perfect! Paired with some studs and skull accessories and OPI nail varnish and you're good to go. Who said fancy dress had to be tacky aye?

Missguided Wishlist
The items above are the ones that I am pining after the most at the moment. The cross shirt I already have and I absolute love. I'm very tempted to get it in white too. Another wonder of the store - lots of colour options! The shirt is the kind of top you can wear in the day and on a night out. On a night out I wear it with a bralet underneath as its sheer and usually pair it with leather look leggings and heels. In the day I layer it up. I shall try and do an outfit post for you soon. One of the jackets above would look perfect with it!
The material mix jackets are probably my favourites. I like that these are less obvious though. The one with the wool sleeves I love due to being able to roll the sleeves up easy to three quarter length to show off a watch or bracelets and also because it'll be warm and still edgy. The other one I adore due to being obsessed with my denim jackets but this one in black denim with leather sleeves is so on trend and can be teamed with nearly anything and still be eye catching and quirky.
I think the dress has a very wintery feel to it with the berry trend bottom half and gold and white studded top. The cut is also very flattering. Perfect! It's also available in green and black. And the shoes.. well - studs, skulls and a take on Jeffrey Campbell. How could they not be on the wishlist aye?

Catch 22 - Birthday Haul
As you're all well aware by now, (as I haven't stopped banging on about it) it was my 22nd birthday on the 3rd. Unfortunately I wasn't very well so I didn't really do much and I couldn't even partake in the cake eating. Boo. That smashing little picture of the pug 'celebrating' with his cake cheered me up though. Even though the events weren't up to much, I still had some amazing presents to keep me occupied. I was very lucky so thank you to everyone.
I know that some people think these posts are people just bragging but I really enjoy them when other people do them, maybe thats just because i'm nosey but I find them really inspirational.
Incase theres anything here people fancy buying heres a list of the goodies I got -
- Tory Burch flats
- Michael Kors purse/wallet (thats what was in the WOW selfridges wrapping)
- Marc Jacobs Dot perfume gift set
- The Killers album
- Topshop gift card
- Essie nail varnish
- Topshop peace top
- River Island skull umbrella
- Keep calm and relax door stop (i hang it on my bed frame) Primark
- Topshop tiger studded cardigan
- UO Studded purse & please dont leave tray

Catch 22 - Birthday Outfit
My birthday didn't exactly turn out how i'd planned. I went out on the weekend to celebrate but then unfortunately got sick and have spent the last few days in bed. Yesterday was my birthday and I still have a birthday haul to show you. I had some really lovely gifts and messages so thanks to everyone. I was planning to go out last night too but obviously couldn't. I also broke my camera so I only managed to get a few shots of the outfit but none of them are full length to show the shoes, which i'm gutted about.
My black peplum dress is from Miss Selfridge and was £38. I love the leather look part on the waist as it hides the unflattering parts that the rest of the bodycon dress would of exposed and adds a new edge on the LBD. I thought that was a really good price too cause I know I can wear it more than once by changing accessories and making it look like a different outfit. That leads me on to the belt, which is from ASOS and is £15 but I got it cheaper with discount. I definitely recommend it. I love the metal plate at the front and of course the spikes. To me it's the perfect belt to add to a dress as it can make it look like a completely different outfit. And finally, as it was my birthday and not a funeral I added some colour in the form of these electric blue wedges. People were stopping me and asking where they were from all night. I actually bought them from an ebay shop about a year ago and I think they were around £22. I'm sorry I couldnt get better outfit photos and for the fact I look broken or like cousin IT in most of the ones I did manage to get x
