Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice...

Whoops! I was so pooped (haha) from working long hours the last few days to afford sensible things like phone bills and board...  Jeffrey Campbells and a Blackmilk limited edition Halloween catsuit, let me be honest! So remember I said I'd done the photo shoot for the ASOS Marketplace Boutique 'We could Forever' well the lovely owner has been uploading the pictures of me modelling  attempting to model :) and I absolutely adore them and this set in particular is my favourite look she styled me in.
I really love the whole grunge look, always have and always will, I think its really easy to wear and it's great on those days where you want to look effortlessly cool. I love the whole late 80s early 90s oversized denim statement and plaid/tartan prints that you can clash to create that look, as seen above.
The skirt and the jacket is currently for sale here and are such bargain prices for real vintage pieces! I'd know because i've bought things in the spur of the moment and realised i've been robbed blind when i shop around!
I was specifically asked to take these shoes to the photo shoot and I'm glad I was, I forgot how much i'm totally in love with them even though they aren't the easiest thing to walk in because for some reason they don't bend well when I walk? Haha, not that has ever stopped me! Go hard or go home!
The Hellbound shoes are the way forward.

 Obsessed with my fedora hat, it cost a whole £8 from Primark! Which is such a bargain, I was recently looking at one in Topshop for £95!? whaaaaat, I know right (sorry Topshop, Love you.)
Make-up is MAC cosmetics, Lipstick is Cyber :)
The photos are by the Lovely Jodie Blackburn photography.
Go check out We could Forever on ASOS Marketplace, if you want to buy some beaut garms and see more sneak pics of whats to come on my blog.

Oh and if your wondering about the name of this blog, it's because this outfit reminded me of one of my fave fashionistas from the 1988 film Beetlejuice, Lydia.

The Classic LBD.

Okay, so as I said in my last post I am completely new to using Blogger! Kinda means I have no idea what I'm doing so any constructive criticism is welcome, so long as your not telling me I'm completely rubbish! Haha.
 Anyways I've been posting my daily outfit posts on Instagram for a good few months now, it is my passion and the one thing I truly enjoy, so I thought I would make a blog in hopes for my blog and instagram to get more followers :) everybody has to start somewhere right?! 
 So here it is my first picture i'll be posting on my blog, its my little black dress! One of my fairly recent purchases, I fell in love with this dress when I saw it on the website.
 I have always been such a big fan of velvet, ever since I watched the addams family and saw Morticia wearing her velvet garms! So imagine my joy when I found out that velvet is one of the key pieces for this Autumn/Winter. I teamed the dress with my favourite vintage Moschino belt, (gift from Paris)  which I was ecstatic to receieve as I have always wanted one! Was so strange when I got mine I saw nobody in them and now they are so popular :) but you can competely see why, they match anything and I wear mine almost every day!
 Another one of my key items for this Autumn/Winter will be my trusty bowler hat, I wear this when i'm having bad hair days or am simply feeling mega lazy! I've got a right collection going on now though. 
 The shoes are one of my fave pairs EVER and never fail to grab peoples attention, even though they are killer heels, they are kinda comfy? Except for the time I had to walk home from town in them,, in the snow.. But thats another story!! 

Velvet skater Dress: Nasty Gal, Moschino belt (gift from paris) although I keep seeing good copies and originals up for sale on Ebay, shoes are my babies Unif Hellbounds and you can find them on a few websites although I got mine from Dolls Kill and luckily didn't get charged import fees ;), the bowler hat is from Topshop and i'm not sure they have this exact one anymore but they have similar ones.
 I am really into my Make up as well as fashion and all of the Make up I wear is usually from MAC cosmetics, the lipstick I have on here is Cyber.
Hope you enjoyed my post, be sure to let me know what you think.
