VULGAR VISUALS

You may have guessed from all of the Halloween posts, that we are pretty into this celebration! We have been busy decking out all of our stores with the best Halloween styles and visual merchandising to make you stop and look!

We have chosen the Day of The Dead theme which is nothing new but still as classic and exciting as always! Witchcraft, witches, vampires, ghosts, zombies, brides and ghouls also go hand in hand and will be scattered into pieces all over your store! Here's some of our favourite parts of the windows from different stores!

FLASHBACK: Dress to Kill

Halloween is only a couple of weeks away and we are preparing our costumes this year. Whichever you go for on the night if it's a full costume, fancy dress or just face paint then we want to help you get ready. Looking back to the good ol' days of the black and white photograph, you can see a scary mask was the way forward for these creepy kids.









Love this last one.. Less is more here! Tiny hat and a bat. Done. 

If you want to put a little bit more effort into it than a plastic mask then may we recommend these classic characters, you could probably come in store and find something that would help create these looks too. If you do need any help with costumes and ideas please feel free to ask our shop assistants who would be happy to help!

Alice In Wonderland

Dead Preppy

Zombie Casuals

A Smokin' Skeleton Babe

And if all else fails just go as Edward Scissorhands..


Happy Halloween!

FLASHBACK: Teen Nightmares

It's finally October, our favourite month of the year! Golden leaves on the floor, new boots on your feet, new coats on your back and fancy dress planned with fun to be had! Of course it's Halloween! The time of year when you can look deep into your darkest side, dress up and act like a gaul!

On the run up to Halloween our Flashback series will take a darker twist and we will look at those movies, costumes and sounds that at one time made you cover your eyes or gave you the shivers!
Today we're remembering the first time we watched, what felt like the scariest films ever but actually just classic spooky, movies from a younger age. 

HOCUS POCUS
Kinda cute looking but flying witches.. err scary. 



THE WITCHES
You think it's going well and it's Roald Dahl so surely it's not scary... then she rips her hair and face off! Arghh!!



THE CRAFT
A group of school girls who take bullying to the next level. 
With the 'Light as a feather,  stiff as a board' trick we've all tried at a sleepover?!



BEETLEJUICE
Winona Ryder (goth) brings out the best of her new house!



EDWARD SCISSORHANDS
Young, troubled boy struggling to fit into a normal life. Shame Tumblr wasn't around at the time.
