**********************************************************************************************************************



Ah, the time of year when my insistence on black-on-black-on-black is actually relevant. And you can't be questioned when you wear your giant faux fur jacket every single god damn day. I thought I would collect a few wonderful wintery essentials as inspiration for the end-of-year festivities!

**SHEER TIGHTS.BLACK DRESS**

Black Sheer tights. Black Crushed Velvet Skater Dress.
This is my fave go-to when I am party bound and want to be comfortable but look festive and sexy. I feel like my search for the perfect crushed velvet dress is never ending. I know you're out there somewhere.

 
**NIGHT OUT JACKET. BLACK OVERCOAT**
Puffy Faux Fur Jacket. Black Wool Hooded Coat.
I love love love a statement jacket! Something unconventionally big or colorful is a perfect way to turn your ensemble up a few notches. And when dawn approaches, everyone should have a clean black coat to throw over the dress you wore the night before!
**SMOKY EYE. DARK LIP. CHUNKY SHOE**
Lime Crime Make-Up. Black Chunky Boot.
I think the 90's are here to stay for a while and I've never been happier! I have been wearing Lime Crime's Salem Lip Stain (pictured above) NON STOP, it is such a perfect late November/early December color. The chunky boot will keep you out of puddles and on your feet!

I think I'll close out with a few of my favorite winter style icons:



HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!

HALLOWQUEEN VINTAGE



I've opened a little Etsy shop! It is so exciting and I am having a wonderful time so far. It has proved to be a bit of work, but I quite enjoy doing it. I have also decided to make this (my personal blog) the shop's official blog for items I am excited about and for style inspiration! The first inspiration post should be up tomorrow so stay tuned. And please give my shop a look if you have the time! It would mean the world!
Here is the silly blurb I wrote for the "About" section:


A dark angel with a deep closet and a severe vintage picking addiction has finally decided to kick the hoarding habit and share with the masses- digging for the most strange and unusual treasure in an ocean of "meh"! Courtney meets Stevie, Chloe meets Winona, grunge lolita, pastel witch, femme goth, glamorous vamp, sexy teacher's pet! For all shapes and sizes, ladies and gentlemen, bad girlz and ladies about town! A shop for all seasons and decades!

Here's to a wonderful future of shopping and photography!

I've been looking so long at my pictures of you that I almost believe that they're real.


Yeah I know what you are thinking. "Listening to the Cure ain't gonna help that homesickness, bro!"

I need to wallow, okay?
