A few years ago, skulls were all cartoony and only to be found liberally slung around the necks and sprinkled on the ears, hair and belts of angst ridden teenagers with a weakness for Claire's Accessories. There are more sophisticated and spookier ways to wear them though.
If, like me, you like realistic prints and anatomical detail then I highly recommend you check out Puerto Rico based SamsaraPrints who create screen printed t-shirts and canvas bags. Shop owner Jenny has such a great eye for selecting arresting images that work in her distinctive and detailed black screen prints. The eye catching combination of the soft flowers next to the hard teeth on this Floral Skull Canvas Tote Bag is both edgy and hauntingly beautiful.
I do love a good cameo broach. This one is like a character from a Tim Burton film. In fact, she even looks like Helena Bonham-Carter.
Yeah?
I dare say I'll be revisiting Amoronia at a later date to talk more generally about her literature inspired jewellery range.
These accessories give a great little gothic touch to your outfit. Handy as this year I am going a little light on fancy dress for Halloween in favour of creating something special for my friend's birthday party the week after. I'll keep you posted on the results and maybe even do a quick "how to" - assuming that it works that is! In the meantime, what little gems have you spotted that made your Halloween look complete? Have you made or are you making anything spectacular for Halloween this year?
