Hell Bunny Bat 50's Dress and Vampire Cardigan

It's October and I'm so crazy excited Halloween is almost here!!! This past weekend I enjoyed pumpkin pie, pumpkin coffee and a pumpkin donut. It was Thanksgiving here in Canada so I can totally justify the pumpkin overload. Pumpkin might be my second favorite thing about October. The first, being Halloween of course! With Halloween comes awesome spooky horror prints and no one does it better than Hell Bunny. I hope my readers are not totally getting sick of Hell Bunny posts because I have just a few more for this season. You will only get a break until the Spring/Summer 2014 collection comes out;) This girl can't help herself...LOVE.

Before we get into the killer fashion, I would like to take a moment to thank my husband Graham. He totally set this spooky scene and shot the photos. Best husband ever! Halloween has a special place in both of our hearts. We were married October 31st, 2009. Enough with the lovey, lovey, mushy stuff. I love him with all my guts!

This outfit is totally a tribute to vampires and the macabre. My Vampire cardigan designed by Sarah Cake for Hell Bunny was the perfect piece for this look. I don't think these photos show just how great the details on this cardigan are. There is a beautiful female vamp embroidered on the front. What is a sexy vamp without a coffin?  The bottom left of the sweater features a cross carved coffin and fluttering bats. Each sleeve has a single black bat embellishment for an extra eerie touch. I wish I had taken some photos of the sweater closed. If you're interested in seeing it closed for sizing check out my Sugar Skull Cat post. My vampire cardigan is a size 4X.

My Hell Bunny Bat 50s dress comes in sizes XS-4XL. I think it is totally amazing you can get it in such a broad range of sizes. I'm wearing a 4X in this dress. In a perfect world all clothing companies would follow Hell Bunnies lead. The 50s Bat dress is available in three color combos. They are red with black bats, black with white bats and of course black with slime green bats. I fell in love with the green. I don't wear a lot of red because I feel it's too much with my hair. I can't survive without a little my red so you will notice it's always added somewhere to my wardrobe. I almost always style with a red lip. 

Peek-A-Boo!! There's my red. I'm also a big fan of petticoats under dresses. I find that Hell Bunny carries some of the nicest. I'm wearing a petticoat in size L-XL in their regular sizing. It wasn't until this most recent collection that Hell Bunny offered petticoats bigger than that. The L-XL is tight on me. I have to wear it higher up on my waist. I've made this size work in the past, but I'm super excited to order one in their plus size. I know it will fit much better. I was not keen on the colors they released for fall. I think I will be happier with the spring summer color choices. If they release more. Fingers crossed.

My Vampire cardigan, Bat 50's dress and petticoat are all from Sweet Echo Plus. They are a Halloween promo currently running for 10% off. Use code "TAKE10" and having fun spooking...I mean shopping!

ASOS New Look Inspire Ghost Sweater

 

This Club is a Haunted House..Love Ms. Needles

It's my favorite time of year and that means being able to find awesome Halloween themed clothing. There`s a fine line between super rad and totally lame-0. While searching ASOS two weeks ago I came across a super spooky sweater. To be honest I went back and forth on this sweater. My first instinct was to love it, but then I questioned if it was too much of a youth style. I showed it to a friend and she said it was very Quacker Factory. I had no idea even what that meant. I looked into Quacker Factory and found their clothing to be embroidered, stuffy, mature styles. This totally helped me see the asos ghost sweater was in fact super awesomely cute!

 

After wearing this outfit on the weekend to go Halloween costume shopping for my children, I can tell you I am in love. This sweater is super super soft. I hate overly thick scratchy sweaters. This one is incredibly  light yet still very warm. I ordered it in a size 24 even know I normally order a 22 from ASOS. I could have probably ordered a 20. This sweater runs very big. It`s all good I can rock an oversized sweater just the same.

 

I considered wearing this sweater with just a pair of leggings. I think it would work awesome with them. Then, I remembered I have this great black and white checkered skirt also from ASOS. I was crazy excited to finally have the right item to wear with it. The skirt is super long so I had to do the double roll around the waist. Anyone else have to occasionally roll clothing at the waist? I have a couple skirts I have to do this with. I guess I should just hem them cause at 39 I'm not getting any taller. HA! 

 

 

I finished my outfit off with one of my creations. A white Ouija planchette necklace. This is one of my best selling items at Everyday is like Halloween. If my ghosty was going to come out to play I had to summons him with the right tools. OUIJA BOARD, OUIJA BOARD!

 

Boo! I scared you. Hahahahaha

They're coming to get you Barbara OOTD

This past weekend I got the gift of zombies! My wonderful husband got us tickets for Night of the Living Dead Live. Night of the Living Dead Live is classic zombie fun. It is showing now in Toronto and runs until October 27th. NOTLDL is produced by the original crew, Romero, Russo and Streiner and is presented by the Hammertown boys of Nictophobia Films. If you are in the area I would urge you to check out this show. It's one of the best shows I have ever seen and is full of spooky campy awesomeness!

It was a no brainier that I would need to wear my Iron Fist Zombie flats. Iron Fist offers this design in many styles. I have seen creepers, flats, heels and even rubber boots. They have expanded this design into clothing and accessories. I own both a purse and wallet. I think it is totally fun. I kind of worked the outfit from the zombie shoes up.

I just recolored my hair this week so I think my brain was still grooving pink and red ombre. This groove totally took over my outfit. I didn't really even notice until I looked at the photos. I'm wearing We Love Colors tights in size E Scarlet Red. I'm totally loving the We Love Colors. I ordered seven more pair of tights this week for winter. They truly are the best fitting tights ever! I can't wait to blog all of them for you.

My dress is from Forever 21+ and is a size 4X. 4X weird right? I wish I could explain this to you. I did message F21 on their FB page to inquire if they would be carrying 4X on a regular basis. No one got back to me. BOOOO! 

The dress is super cute and I love it so much. It's a 4X, but I would'nt say it's a big 4X. It is only a little bigger than I have found their 3X. I can fit into some of the 3X dresses depending on material. I think it would be totally amazing if they started making larger sizes at F21. I think their pants stop at size 20:( 

Last the Hell Bunny cardigan. This one is called Little Kate and it's part of their Autumn/Winter collection. I'm wearing a size 4X. It has a great deal of stretch and the material is really nice. I love that this one is girly with a little touch of spooky. The hot pink stitched anchors with skulls and polka dots are so very. Each sleeve an embroidered  hot pink bow..adorb. I picked this sweater up at Sweet Echo Plus. 

I felt super awesome in this whole outfit and would suggest all of these pieces to buy. If you have any questions about anything please leave me a comment below and I will totally get back to you.

Hell Bunny Mika Coat in Plus Size

Hell Bunny's Mika Coat in Size 4X

 

I picked this coat up a couple weeks ago from Sweet Echo Plus. Hell Bunny put this design out last winter, but did not make it available in plus size. This season it was released to fit us plus size beauties. I thought it was totally adorable with the little bear? mouse? ears. I keep referring to it as my bear coat. My children correct me saying "I'm Minnie mouse's mother". I'll take it! It is a little Minnie mouse and it makes me happy.

 

 

Like usual I was a little worried about the fit of this jacket. The size chart for this item is much smaller than what my measurements are. I had a good experience when I got Hell Bunny's Mille coat so I figured I would give this one a shot. I would say this jacket fits similar. This coat might be a tiny bit smaller in the bust. This coat fits pretty good everywhere accept though my chest. I really could use a couple more inches. It does up fine, but if I put my arms back it does pull though the bust. This will not stop me from wearing the jacket. I love it too much. My bust is 52" 

This coat is exploding with cuteness!! We have the adorable ears attached to an oversize fur lined hood (ears are detachable), additional fur trim on the sleeves, pockets and along the bottom, shiny black vinyl hearts stitched beside the closures and hood strings with fuzzy pom poms. EKKKKK! AWSOME!

 

 

I'm super happy I picked this coat up. This coat seems to be a bit thicker then the Millie coat. It has a little bit in lining and is lined in satin. I will have to wear a cardigan under it. It gets quite cold here in Canada. I won't be able to wear it outside for a long time if I want to stay warm in the dead of winter. It will be perfect for everyday running around.

If you are interested in ordering this coat you can pick it up at Sweet Echo Plus for $110. 2X and 3X currently in stock.

Hell Bunny Sugar Skull Cat Cardigan

Hell Bunny's Autumn/Winter collection 2013-14 is just arriving in stores and it's AMAZING! Normally I would post a whole whack of per-view photos for your drooling pleasure. Not this time! I bought so many pieces this year and I'm excited to blog about everyone. As some of you know I'm a totally spooky Halloween ghoul and Hell Bunny never disappoints in offering fantastic spooky seasonal print dresses. To my delight this year they have carried these prints over into plus size cardigans! Fangtastic!

I`m wearing the Sugar Skull Cat Cardigan. This sweater design features so many awesome things. White stitched spider webs on each shoulder and sugar skull cats wearing adorable blue bows. Red roses have been embroidered beneath each skull and on each sleeve there's an additional rose. Such a cute touch. The sweater is finished off with blue pearlized buttons. This is the first of two cardigan designs offered by Sarah Cake this season. Sarah does fierce work and will offer many more pieces in the Spring/Summer collection. Keep a watch on her she is totally up and coming.

 

The quality of these sweaters is very nice. Dare I say maybe the nicest I have found in a cardigan. Old Navy is a go-to place for reasonably priced cardigans. I always have a problem with their sweaters stretching out and losing shape. I don't see this happening at all with these sweaters. I also have invested a lot of money into cardigans from Torrid. I have never ever had a Torrid cardigan not pile after two or three wears. If I'm going to spend good money on a cardigan I want it look good for at least a full season.

 I'm wearing a size 4X and there is still a lot of stretch. You may want to take note of the bust. I have a 52" bust and the sweater is just starting to pull being done all the way up. I know many people never even wear their sweaters closed so if you're just looking for it to fit your arms and shoulders know there is a lot of room and stretch. Please take note that these sweaters are hand wash and air dry. 

 

If you are interested in picking up one of these spooktacular Hell Bunny cardigans you can grab one at Rockelle or Sweet Echo. Sweet Echo is getting ready to launch their internet store so keep a watch for that. It will make ordering all your Hell Bunny items quicker and easier. These sweaters retail for $54 on both sites.

Denim With Edge

Denim and I have never had a really close relationship. I'm not the type of girl to throw on a pair of jeans and roll with it. I don't know that I have ever felt 100% comfortable in denim anything. I would have to say denim is my least favorite fabric so I knew this month's Ahead of the Curve blog post was going to be a tricky one. That's cool ... It's nice to step away from my comfort zone and try something new.

 

I knew if I was going to do denim it would have to be black. I'm totally not a blue denim girl. I know currently light denim and ombre denim are hot hot hot, but I really just can't. Denim with a punk or metal edge really is a lot less scary for me. The denim item I purchased for this post was a black jean jacket in size 4 from Torrid. I actually mulled over this jacket for weeks. I couldn't commit to it right away, because I was wishing it was a little more rough around the edges. Since I ordered this jacket Torrid has come out with a destructed black denim jacket and I'm kind of bummed I didn't get it instead. I will just have to wear in the one I got. This jacket fits well and isn't too long in the arms. Long arms are an issue I always have. There's a running joke in my family that I have T-rex arms! Boo!  While this jacket fits, I was just not in love with it. UNTIL.....

 

I MADE IT MINE!!! I've added a huge Evil Dead patch to the back with safety pins and donned the front with plenty of buttons. I picked the back patch up on ebay a couple years ago and it has come in handy more than once. I couldn't help singing bad reputation by Joan Jett while doing this up.The jacket still needs work and I'm sure it will transform a few more times in the up coming months.

  It's still too neat and black for me. I prefer a faded lived in look to denim, but for now I'm totally pleased. Denim and I will slowly get to know each other.

Additional items I'm wearing....

Cross Sweater in size 3X from Forever 21+

Stripped Skirt in size 22 from ASOS

Scarlet Red Tights in size E from We Love Colors 

Black Studded Boots in size 9 from Torrid
