a not so scary halloween giveaway

I know Halloween is a few weeks away, but I'm already excited.
I love Halloween colours, obscure purples and brash oranges.
I love bats and ghouls and all the 'scary' stuff, but most of all I love the dressing up.
So, in order to win my not so scary giveaway, simple start following this blog (if you havent already) and then leave a comment telling me about your ideal Halloween costume!
Will you go for something fashionably scary like the ghost of the chic Marie Antoinette?
Or do a new take on the Halloween classics of Devil, Witch or Ghost?
The giveaway is open to anyone anywhere, so please repost or mention this on your own blogs!!!

The prize?
A goodie bag of not so scary items. Lots of stuff including sweets, jewellery and a little something or two from lazyoaf.com ;)
I look forward to reading your answers.
Good luck!

mind blowing

This is why I love Viktor and Rolf.
Huge pastel coloured frou frou dresses with cannonball shaped holes in them.
Amazing.
If Edward Scissorhands went to prom this would be the result.
V+R always have that one collection that blows my mind. They're ground breaking designs are out of this world. Their collections can't even compare to some of the others shown at fashion week that were just a display of 'pretty clothes'. Although its nice to just gawpe and gaze at beautiful clothes sometimes its nice to be stimulated and questioned by fashion too .
Viktor and Rolf clothes have a message and are always trying to manipulate fashion in new ways.

dreamy

Take this kiss upon the brow!
And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow-
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.

An extract from the Edgar Allen Poe poem 'Dream within a dream'
I'm off to the V+A this weekend, one of my favourites places in London. Will hopefully have some more meaty posts soon, including a giveaway!
