Bats!

Unique Vintage Smak Parlour Black and White Stripe Bat Print Fit and Flare Dress

Fall is officially here and I've been ready since... well, the beginning of summer!  As someone who lives that spooky life year round, I get extra excited when the Halloween goodies start rolling into the stores.  Unique Vintage has outdone themselves this year and given us the best selection of Halloween clothing and accessories, including this Smak Parlour dress.  It's stretchy, spooky, and perfect for all the Halloween activities I have coming up!

Dress- c/o Unique Vintage
Shoes- YRU
Lipstick- Sephora Collection Cream Lip Stain in Always Red

This amazing bat print striped dress is made from a soft stretch poly fabric and features long sleeves with a contrast bat cuff, contrast bat Peter Pan collar, a-line skirt with pockets, and a back zippered closure.  This dress is so comfortable, for reals!  Usually dresses with long sleeves really bother me but this one is so nice.  I'm wearing my usual size small in Smak Parlour and I would say it's right on point.  Their dress bodices are usually short on me, so I'm used to their dresses being more of an empire waist.  So if you have a short or average sized torso, this one will fit you right at the waist.

While this may technically be a "Halloween" inspired dress, I will definitely be rocking this cutie all fall and winter long!  If you haven't tried a Smak Parlour dress yet, you can shop the wide selection from sizes XS-4X on Unique Vintage right now!

Willow

Restricted Shoes Jester Boot and Willow Boot

What a week!  Honestly, Fridays are my favorite because I feel that pure joy of the weekend creeping in.  Our weekdays are hectic and we so look forward to enjoying our family time.  Fridays are known as "family nights" and we usually let Bianca choose what we end up doing.  Nine times out of ten she wants to go out (she's way more social than Kevin and me). 

Bianca has been wearing these heeled booties from Restricted Shoes on the daily and I don't blame her!  They're comfy and she totally feels like a big girl in her heeled but very easy to wear boots.  Me, being the comfy one, prefers less of a heel and Restricted hooked me up with these lovely booties.  You can read our review and find out more about Restricted below!

I'm wearing the new Jester bootie, which features a small heel and slips right on.  I actually had to do a double take to see if they actually had a heel at all because I don't feel it one bit.  They come in three colors: black, whiskey, and taupe (which is what I'm wearing).  I feel like this is the perfect transitional boot because it has a summer feel but can totally handle the fall elements.  I'm wearing a size 9, which is my usual size, and they fit true to size.

Bianca is wearing the Willow boot, which features and embroidered detail on the sides and a wedged heel.  Her boots have functional laces but also have side zippers on the inside of the foot, which is great because she doesn't know how to tie her shoes yet!  My little witchy baby is seriously obsessed with these shoes, I think I need to get a backup pair!  Bianca is wearing a size 1 in girls and they run true to size as well.

Out of the Shadows

Erstwilder Raven Mad Brooch
The day has come: the Erstwilder Out of the Shadows Halloween range is finally here!  As I'm sure you already know, Halloween is my favorite and I look forward to their Halloween brooches every year.  I'm not trying to be dramatic but this year is seriously the best Halloween range they've ever put out.  I love the vintage feel and the dark, deep colors they used.  This range has eleven brooches, three sets of earrings, and two necklaces.  Honestly, I wanted them all but I've highlighted my favorites below!

Lil Boo is just the cutest and he's really big!  He comes in the big box, y'all!  I love his cute little face and his marbled resin.  I know he's technically a Halloween brooch but I will be rocking him all year around.

I can't get over how beautiful and detailed Itsy Bitsy is.  While I might be terrified of spiders in real life, I'm over the moon with this brooch!  I can't get enough of these subtle colors and the wonderful detail in this one.  It's even better in person too!

Give me all the raven brooches!  As someone who has a mild obsession with crows and ravens, I obviously needed Raven Mad.  Again, I'm in love with these colors!  They work so well with the marbled resin.  I know these brooches are supposedly for Halloween but Raven Mad will also get wear all year around.


You can view and shop the entire collection right now on the Erstwilder site.  I would check it out ASAP, I know this range is going to be super popular!
