It's that time of year again...  Halloween!

Halloween is a pretty funny event as the interest people really have for it varies so much.  Some people don't care at all, and some go all out!  I know there are about three kids on my street who knock sheepishly at my door each year trick or treating.  For me personally, I go with he flow, if there is a party going on then i'm there.  If not then its another normal night.  Well this year there is one happening, and now begs the question, what the heck do I wear?!?!
Trawling the interwebs for ideas I did come across the fact that, there is quite a bit of halloween inspired fashion going on.  Whether it being full collections from well known designers or editorial shoots directed in all the creepy that halloween has to offer.  With this in mind I have decided to go with this merger of fashion and goulish.

The Luella AW 08/09 Collection displayed a Witchy basis.  Pointed hats, pumpkin coloured tights and stripes, all that was missing was a black cat.  Suprisingly though, how wearable these pieces actualy are.  Obviously you wouldn't put them all together unless you wanted to go with that Twilight/Harry Potter vibe, but individually are really cute.

My favourite images by far has to be from the Tim Burton Halloween Fashion shoot featured in Harper's Bazaar.  Burton's stamp is all over this, but his style is so visual that it lends itself perfectly in marrying it with high fashion aspects.  Referencing his great films such as Edward Scissorhands, A nightmare before Christmas and Alice in Wonderland this give's plenty of ideas for an awesome halloween outifut.

And if all fails.  There is always this route...

As I was reading, I couldn't imagine a Halloween-inspired line that WOULD be wearable, but then---there it was!

The art direction on the Tim Burton shoot is fantastic. Love how Santa's bag just has a giant skull ripping out of it.
