A while back I decided I wanted to dabble in the art of Vlogging. I still don't have everything set the way I want with my Cannon, but I couldn't wait any longer. Today I took a premature stab at a vlog with my iPhone. This one is nothing special, but I promise they will get better!!
Do the Creep and take a Peep at my first Video Blog!!!!

Channeling Stina from 1992, I loved fishnets, Björk buns and baby doll dresses. Twenty-two years later and not much has changed. I may be forty years old, but there is no reason I need to look like I am. #effyouragestandards
This dress sold out in like a millisecond!!Sorry about it, but ya got to be super quick to get theüber cute ASOS Halloween stuff. They only come out with a few Curve items every year and from my experience they are pretty freaking fierce and fun! I'm so glad I snatched this up before it was gone. It will share a home in my closet with my skeleton baby doll dress from last year. No need to review... LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! ASOS still has a couple Halloweenie pieces in stock, here is a link for this years ghost sweater.
Donatella's premium fishnets in black are available in two lengths, short and long. I got the long length because I'm almost 5'6". I can't say enough about these fishnets. They fit me like a dream with room to spare and these fishnets were the first pair I have ever owned that didn't rip the first time I wore them. Fishnets normally are a one-time deal for me, my thighs like to chew them up and spit them out. I will be able to get many uses out of these ones from Donatella's. Well worth the money and free shipping... bonus!
I fell for these shoes as soon as I creeped them. I thought they were so unique and awesomely modern 90's. I didn't consider the fit much when I ordered because I'm typically a size 10 with a slightly wide foot, but I get away with most normal width shoes. These shoes seemed pretty generous and wide from the photos. That is not so much the case, I just barely fit into these shoes. They are actually kind of tight across the top of my foot but I'm hoping with some wear they will stretch out a bit. I would not recommend these ones to someone with a wide foot, as cute as they are. If anyone has tips for stretching leather-look shoes I would love to hear them. I hope they are not a write-off.
This style is currently sold out. I would keep an eye out though because I find Forever 21 brings sunglasses styles back often. Forever 21 is my go-to place for cheap shades, I quite often get them when they are 50% off clearance and they end up being only a couple of bucks.

"Gonna rock it up, roll it up, do it all, have a ball
Saturday night, Saturday night."
Tartan, Tweed and Houndstooth is the theme for this month's Ahead of the Curve collective post. The perfect theme to show some PLAIDitude and do a little tribute to the Scottish, 70's pop band, The Bay City Rollers. The Rollers brought seventies plaid fashions to the forefront and were dubbed the "Tartan teen sensations from Edinburgh." Do the creep and take a peep at some The Bay City Rollers kickin' plaid styles shown in the YouTube video above. The look I put together for this post is something I would wear for a date on a S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y night.
I'm a huge fan of City Chic. They have beautiful, well-made clothing. I have never once been disappointed in the quality of an item that I have purchased from them. I totes fell for this army girl black mesh tunic because it was completely unique and blended hard edges and soft draping perfectly. This tunic is a bit on the longer side, it goes right to my knees and fits perfectly everywhere on my body. If I did have one warning about this dress it would be that it wrinkles very easily. I steamed this dress right before the photos and as you can see it has crinkled up quite a bit. It doesn't bother me so much with this item because I feel it has a bit of a post-apocalyptic vibe anyway.
Unfortunately these leggings are no longer in stock. I only purchased them a few weeks ago, but they sold out very quickly. I hope Forever 21 will restock some new plaid leggings in the future. In the mean time, you can get similar leggings at ASOS and Domino Dollhouse. Plaid is always popular around this time of the year.
Hat: Value Village You have seen me mention Value Village before, they are the Canadian version of Savers, a U.S. thrift store. I peeped this hat a while back and was wavering on whether or not it was for me. It is much louder than any hat I have ever worn and I was not sure I would pull it off with my blue hair. My husband talked me into it and I could not say no for $5, but I am still not totally sold. What do you think? Is it working for me?
Boots: ASOS (Size 10) My New Look wrap-around flat boots are a leather-look boot with a low heel, side zipper, and wrap-around strap design. These boots are not wide width but I took a chance on them as I am able to get away with some regular width shoes. They turned out great and fit like a dream! They have become my go-to, day-to-day boots for Fall. They are currently on sale for $20!! Such a steal! Stina xx

I listed the Sweet Echo Facebook page instead of their website because I noticed this dress is not listed on their webpage. I know Michelle of Sweet Echo has stock of size 3X and 4X available. You will have to message her directly on the FB page to order. This dress is currently on sale for $69!!!! I know she only has a few in stock so if you're in love I would get on it fast! This dress was released in the Fall of 2013 so I don't know how many are still out there. The Nevermore Dress by Hell Bunny is made from black stretch cotton, with a
fitted waistband, and flared double layer short skirt which is trimmed
with black ribbon. The V-shaped neckline is trimmed with soft, black, mesh ruffles and the
upper back and chest is made from soft, spotted, black mesh. The long
sleeves are made from soft, black lace. This Gothic dress has faceted, black, glass button fasteners on the cuffs and down the center back, plus
a zip at the lower back. The skirt measures 20 inches. The fabric is 98%
cotton and 2% spandex.
Gorgeous net pantyhose with a stunning baroque pattern. I have been creeping Donatella's for a long time and was wondering if I would fit into their tights. I'm a solid 26/28 bottom with 32" of thigh meat so you can see why I was concerned. I recently discovered they carry a few of the patterned designs in a 4X so I took the plunge. I was surprised to find they fit and I am larger than the measurements on the size chart for 4X. I would say if you have a thigh measurement that is much larger than mine these will be too small. I fit into them, but feel I would be more comfortable in a 5X. I know Donatella's is always expanding and trying to make each and every client happy so I see many beautifully patterned tights in sizes larger than a 3X in the near future. Until then peep what they do have in stock. They have fishnets up to a 5X and FREE shipping!!!
I'm very fond of Demonia shoes and pick them up here and there. There are a plethora of shops online who carry Demonia shoes. These shoes appealed to me because of the design and they looked super comfy. I really like these shoes but they run about 1/2 a size larger and the toe distorts sometimes because they are not filled out. These shoes are not the best quality either, but for under $20 I really can't complain.
Necklace and Ring: Everyday is like Halloween Both items were created by yours truly for my shop Everyday is like Halloween. The rosary necklaces are new so not yet listed on my Etsy (EILH) page. They will be available soon, but if you would like to order one in the meantime hit me up via FB message. I will hook you up! The rosary necklace can be customized with most any image you want and I make custom charms to dangle from the bottom. I currently do not sell rings on Etsy, but can always custom make one for you. Again just send me a message and we can work together to design something you love. Cheers.
My favorite month October is upon us. I can't wait to share many wonderfully spooky and creepy blogs for you all. I pride myself in being a bit of a Halloween/horror nut, so if you have any questions about where to find Halloween items please don't hesitate to leave me a question comment. I will help the best I can.
