While some of us may be adverse to the thought of decorating ourselves with cobwebs and skulls, at Bullet Blues we know that Halloween is the perfect time of year to throw the rule book straight out of the window. From a Halloween fashion stand point anything goes, so now is the best season to don your creative thinking cap and dress as spookily as possible. Although certain costumes have been copied endlessly, the concept behind Halloween is just to have fun and break the mold from what you would normally wear, so you can afford to be a little cliché if you like. For example, dressing up as a witch doesn’t have to mean just wrapping yourself in a trash bag sporting a cone-shaped hat. You can take references from your favorite gothic style icons and transform a traditional witch look into a modern vamp. If you are thinking of going down the mystical costume route, you’ll need to firstly decide on the angle of your outfit and then shop for your main ‘canvas’ piece. Is it going to be a corset and skirt combination, a slinky dress, or even an ‘Alice in Wonderland’ tutu and stockings? At Bullet Blues we have a wide selection of black tops and dresses to help you achieve your gloomy Halloween costume this fall.

Do Halloween Glamour with our Bullet Blues Mathilde Dress

If you’re going to nail the vampy dominatrix approach then the Bullet Blues Mathilde little black dress is the one for you. Remember that you can always add a PVC corset by wearing this over the top of the dress. Add a pair of gauntlets, a masquerade face mask along with your kinkiest pair of spiked heels and you’ll soon become the wicked belle of the ball! Whereas if you want to look like a vintage female rock star, you’ll need one of our Bullet Blues Elodie tops in black. Slimming and sophisticated, this custom-made piece really is one of a kind and is certainly Halloween-worthy. Don’t forget to amp up the voltage with some smokey eye make-up, a pallid complexion and a bold red lip. Think Kat Von D, Gwen Stefani or one of the supermodels from Robert Palmer’s ‘Addicted to Love’ music video. Once you have the main concept of your outfit worked out, next it’s time to concentrate on those spooky accessories. Whether its fake blood bought from your local discount store, a zombie mask from an online fancy dress boutique, or you’re planning on raiding the craft department for finishing touches, there are plenty of Halloween resources at your disposal so don’t be afraid to think outside of the box! It’s all about working with the closet pieces you own already and then filling in the gaps with statement clothing and accessories to complete your final ensemble. And finally, where would Halloween be without the world’s appreciation of candy? Recently there has been a growth in novelty-themed confectionary to tickle our taste buds. So what is it about these all-American treats that continue to grab our attention? Well, not only do items like red velvet cake, candy corn, jolly ranchers and giant chocolate covered pretzels all taste delicious, but they are also brightly packaged for the novelty factor, and of course, for our enjoyment. We’ll have our Jack O’ Lantern candy buckets at the ready, just in time for the scariest night of the year. From all of us here at Bullet Blues, we’d like to wish you a Happy Halloween!
