Spiderwebs & Bats, Oh My!

Sorry, I'm not home right now. I'm working in the spiderweb, so leave a message and I'll call you back. Unlikely story, but leave a message and I'll call you back! 

Had to sing a tiny bit of the song that was playing nonstop in my noggin the entire time when shooting these adorable new Kreepsville 666 looks.

If you haven't noticed, I'm rather a mad fan of anything web printed, inspired by spiders. The bolder the better, the more spooky? Even better! So let me introduce you to some of the most comfy, cute and spooky pieces that have ever graced by wardrobe.

Spiderweb Western Tie Top

Spiderweb White Skater Skirt

Elastic Waist Belt Bat Coffin

Starting with the look that will be my go-to all summer long. The effortlessly sexy and super soft Western Tie top, has a bold web print in white and is a joy to wear. Fully adjustable, flowing gothic-inspired sleeves and lots of stretch. 

I'm wearing the 2XL/3XL in this piece, and it's perfect for covering my chest and showing just the right amount of skin. As it ties at the front, it's great for multiple sizes and for any weight fluctuations in the bust area.

I can tell I'll be addicted to all of the tie style tops and must get my hands on the graveyard print and sheer versions ASAP. These pair perfectly with the forever iconic spiderweb skater skirt, which I also seem to be collecting. The soft stretch fabric, stretchy elastic waistband, and skater style really flatter your curves and simply slim over your hips. This is the 3XL, and like always, I forget the roominess that Kreepsville's stretch pieces give, but this is super comfy and not constricting in any way at the waist.

Plus, I just had to add the most adorable of waist belts with the new Coffin Bat Waist belt. I have way too many of these style belts, as they match absolutely everything and add the perfect amount of spooky to each and every look. This is the 2XL/3XL, and it's super stretchy. 

Spiderweb Embossed Web Cape

Spiderweb Lace Hair Bow

Can we please take a moment to admire the absolute brilliance of this spiderweb-covered bat-inspired cape! I've been lusting after Kreepsville's capes for a while now, and with another Winter trip to Japan coming up, I needed something super warm to layer with my travel wardrobe. This stunning embossed cape is the perfect piece to travel with all winter long. 

Now this cape is the perfect mix of complete cuteness and warmth! With full bat-inspired edges, finger ties for full effect, and the softest, cosiest fabric, this piece will keep me warm for many winters to come.

But what I love most about this piece has to be the bat-inspired hood with a widow's peak! It's giving full Dracula Bat vibes, and I'm in love! This piece comes in two size options, and I'm wearing the XL-3XL. So it's super roomy and can have many layers worn beneath. 

All of the above looks are topped off with the sweetest of spireweb-inspired bows! I'm obsessed with bold black bows and my current hairstyle, and I could not be more in love with this spooky take on the classic bow! But now that I have one of these, I'll need the bat print, the skull print and the blood splatters! I'm OBSESSED! 

All The Trimmings

Tis the time for planning every festive look humanly possible to wear to all your Xmas parties and end-of-year soirees, and Blackmilk has you covered. From adorable Christmas prints to Spooky Krampus dresses and a little sparkle for NYE. 

Spruced Up Pocket Skater Skirt

Sleek Long Sleeve Rio Top

Starting with a super cute traditional Christmas skater skirt adorned with gingerbread people, ornaments and festive trees. So sweet, so cute and effortlessly chic for all Aussie Christmas events, and I just adore the reindeer and floral featured within the print as well. 

I'm wearing this style in an XL, and the fit is perfect as per usual in the traditional skater style. It also features hidden pockets for all Chrissy snacks, of course. Love this print and want to get a double-up? Well, you can with the matching spruced-up tee! 

 

I've paired this with my go-to summer staple, the Rio long-sleeve top, as it gives great coverage while still keeping me cool. Both fabrics are perfect for the heat wave we always seem to get here in Melbourne.  

Ho Ho Horror Reversible Flocked Skater Dress

Black Cape and Green Sheer Gloves 

Not a fan of Xmas? Well, the Krampas creations from this collection are the perfect choice for you. A darker twist on the holiday, this reversible skater style dress is adorned with twisted motifs, Krampus, trees, gifts and mischief galore!

 

There is something so magical about the flocked print and all the little details. I love the rich red and black combo, as well as its the perfect mix of evil and festive. 

I'm wearing the XL, which is my usual size, and this fits really well and is super comfortable.  As this is a skater with a scoop front, it can be worn either way, which is brilliant, but with my need for a bra always, it might only be a one-way piece for me. So if you are less busty, this will be super versatile!  

This print also comes in the Ho Ho Handkerchief Dress, which might be a better fit for my bust. This style is fully created from the red and black flocked fabric. 

Black Sparkle Sparkle Mini Skater Dress

Now for a little sparkle on NYE or for an extra special Xmas party! This adorable mini skater is utterly perfect! Covered in sequins, great neckline and full skater style skirt, created for twirls. 

My original plan was to pair this piece for a more gothic look with a shrug but I went a full chic gothic and plaid Christmas vibe instead. This piece is perfect for all year-round wear as BM skaters can be layered and then dressed up and down. A little sparkle with a moto or denim jacket, and or fully glam - endless styling options! 

I went with my usual XL for this style, but I think I could use an XXL, given the length of this. I'm usually fine with Blackmilk Minis, but the shortness of this with my bust and toosh makes it very cheeky. But this is nothing a pair of mini shorts beneath won't fix! I'm in my skort era, and I'm living in mini shorts and skorts, it's no fear dressing! 

 

Now the only question is what Blackmilk Festive pieces are you wearing this silly season?

Spooky Ghosts, Kitties and The Big Bad Wolf!

It's the most wonderful spooky time of the year! It's time to buy everything spooky and fill your house with skeletons, dismembered bits and bobs and give into all the Halloween goodness and Blackmilk are making us look the part perfectly with their latest Halloween Collection! 

Graveyard Sweater 

These past few years knitted sweaters have been my obsession and no one does a soft and snuggly knit piece better than Blackmilk. So obviously I need to snap up the spooky sweater offerings each and every October! 

This year the Graveyard Sweater is my obsession! This adorable ghost print is very traditional and super sweet! Just look at those little cuties!!

Matinee Glam

This week I'm doing something that is way out of my comfort zone - a strapless gown! Very not me, right? With a chest my size and my rather large upper arm hate I usually don't gravitate to such pieces, but the Matinee Dress had me making grabby hands as the screen. 

Matinee Mamie Dress - Black 

This piece is shot hot it's sold out across the country and Lana Rose are currently taking Pre-Orders to arrive in November. 

The Matinee dress is utterly perfect. Designed in collaboration with Pinup Palmer as a part of her collection this piece was inspired by 1957's Dolores Grey from Designing Women. An iconic silver screen inspired piece that hugs your curves, drapes over any problem areas an makes you feel like a goddess. 

Created with a black sequin fabric that sparkles like crazy this gown. What really blows my mind about this gown is the bustline. This sculped sweetheart bodice with pleating, bolded cups and an almost horded shape on each side. This really stands out and look amazing. It's also fully lined and won't be itchy on your skin in any way.

New Season - New Ewa Michalak!

 It's that time again! I swear with each and every Ewa Michalak delivery, it's Christmas all over again.  This month, I have some of the newest and most divine styles to share with you. 

Bra soft cornflower with beige BM Modrak

I swear my bra wardrobe never had as much colour until I discovered Ewa's amazing styles, and now I can't get enough. This stunning style of the BM Modrak is a full coverage unpadded bra with a higher bridge and medium neckline. The BM style is forever must have from this brand, and the fit is phenomenal. 

Haunted Beauty

I feel like it's been forever and a day since I featured La Femme En Noir, but I've been waiting for the perfect time and weather to capture the stunning Haunted Beauty Victorian Dress in Crimson Dress in all of its glory.

Haunted Beauty Victorian Dress in Crimson Dress 

Now, as a fan of LFEN, you might be wondering why this piece is so familiar. If you were obsessed with the Crimson Peak collection, you might remember the Haunted Beauty Victorian Mourning Dress with Capelet. That classic piece was an iconic and adored one, but the stunning fit and details were beneath the capelet. 

Artimals

 Pretty prints, bold colours and amazing creations - Artimals has arrived at Blackmilk Clothing.

Snakebite Blossoms Reversible Longline Skater Dress

It's time to be covered in stunningly bright and intricate artistic prints! From skaters to maxi's, the latest collection from Blackmilk is bold and beautiful, and I can't get enough of each piece.
