Ok before we get started, I'd like to give a soundtrack to this blog post and I think "I Put A Spell On You" from Hocus Pocus is perfect. So head over to YouTube and start playing! Now, I know you are all so jealous of my amazing Hocus Pocus t-shirt from Fright Rags! Unfortunately it was a pre-order and I don't think it's available anymore. Keep an eye on the site though as sometimes they bring shirts back from the graveyard and keep an eye on places like eBay as well.

Before I show you details of the tee and outfit here is some details of my make up! I really liked how I done my eyes. You can't see them very well above but I wanted to include this photo cos for some reason I look like I have purple hair! :D 

As a base for my eyes I used the orangey colour in Seventeens Define and Conquer contour kit. The kits they have out are far too orange for my liking to use as a contour but as an autumn, grungy matt eyeshadow they're amazing. I have no idea what shade of kit I have because I see it nowhere on the box. But you can see little hints of orange and brown on the outer parts of the eye shadow. I then went in with Catrice's The Captain of the Black Pearl eye shadow into the crease and under the bottom lash line. I went over the top with a Blingtone purple glitter eye shadow which I bought years ago in Boots and never seen it anywhere again but it's amazing. I then used NYC's liquid liner for my wings which I use all the time now, it's so good, especially for the price. My eyebrows are my own and HD Brows power in a very dark brown blackish colour.

On my lips I have Nightmoth lipliner from Mac with NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Transylvania over top. The application isn't very neat as I didn't have much time to apply so please ignore that! But I love the colour so much and both those products go so well together.

My hat is from either Penneys/Primark or New Look. It was pretty cheap anyhow but good quality and I really like it! It gives an extra witchy look to the outfit. Lots of places are doing similar hats like this in store! My earrings are from Fashionology.nl awhile ago so not sure they still have them.

Fright Rags do amazing horror tees all year around, which between Steve and I, we have a wardrobe full! But at Halloween they usually have extra special shirts and this year they didn't disappoint! As soon as I knew it was going to be Hocus Pocus I knew I had to have it! I love the artwork and love how they included all the main characters! Like I said above, unfortunately it's not available anymore and this is one of the sad things about Fright Rags! Most of these special shirts you have to preorder and if you miss out you might never see them again. This is why we have far too many of them haha!

My kimono/cardigan thing is from Penney's. I think I bought it at the beginning of the year. It doesn't feel as nice and velvety as it looks but it still looks really nice and dresses up a t-shirt well. 

My super cute wooden cat on a broomstick is from a wonderful site called Hey Chickadee and I want everything from it, especially all their Halloween stuff. Keep an eye on them after Halloween as this necklace and others might go on sale! I bought this necklace a couple of years ago so the one on site is a little different now! The cat is coloured in black and has a yellow eye!

The trees behind me in the photo above are called The Three Sisters. I thought this location was perfect for this post seeing as Hocus Pocus involves three wicked witches! I was told by my teacher in school but I can't remember the story that went along with it but just remember being told they were called The Three Sisters. I could be totally making this up but that's what I remember anyhow!

Happy Halloween! Have a wonderful one!

There is an endless amount of jewellery, clothes, fashion, etc. on Etsy and I could have shown an endless list! As always I add anything Halloween related to my Halloween Etsy List here but in this blog post I'm just showing some of my favourites I found :)

This Etsy seller has some amazing necklaces! This was my favourite and perfect for the Halloween season. A Universal Monsters themed necklace. There is two different styles to choose from but I loved the bat and coffins.

One of my all time favourite movies and perfect to watch around this time of year is The Craft. I really want this amazing necklace so bad!

Who doesn't remember watching Goosebumps as a kid and now as an adult?! :D This hat will keep the goosebumps away on those cold autumn days! See what I did there? :P

I am obsessed with this amazing skirt!!! I need it in my life. How perfect is it for around Halloween time?! I just cannot stop looking at it.

It glows in the dark you guys! :D

Another amazing seller on Etsy who makes these super cute Horror movie necklaces! Look at the little bows! :D

Whimsyofinsanity is also known as TheGothicAlice on YouTube. She does incredible videos on horror, goth culture, films, music and her fantastic DIY videos. She sells some of the amazing art she makes including jackets she paints on and modifies. Just look at this amazing From Dusk Til Dawn jacket! I want it so bad! She makes completely unique art on jackets so if you buy from her nobody else will have the same jacket. Just amazing!

 In love with this bat necklace.

I remember when I was a kid at Halloween getting those rubber witch fingers, who remember the weird smell they had? This amazing brooch reminds me of them! 

And finally (because I could be here all day), would you just look at these hats?! GAH! I can't get over them. So amazing. The Etsy seller has a whole load of different ones and colours so do be sure to check them out! Although they're very expensive but they look so well made and I've never seen anything like them anywhere else. So witchy but also very The Hobbit/Lord of the Rings! Black Hat & Rust Hat.

You can find my Halloween Home Decor Etsy Finds from this year here and last years Halloween Etsy Finds #1 and Halloween Etsy Finds #2.

Will you be buying any amazing Halloween accessories mentioned in this post?! Let me know in the comments below :)

Thanks for reading and hope you enjoyed!

I've spent a lot of time trying to find the perfect phone case for my iPhone. I see such lovely ones on ASOS and other sites but for ridiculous prices that I just can not find it in me to pay for. Unless of course it was unique and you're not going to find it anywhere else. But a lot of the time these phone cases can actually be found other places and for a hell of a lot lower prices. Same with jewellery.

Two of my favourite places to search for iPhone cases is eBay and Aliexpress. They have super cheap cases on there although you do have to wait up to a month or even longer for the item which doesn't bother me much seeing as the item is so cheap.

I first actually saw this phone case on someones Instagram and they said they got it on eBay I think. It's on both eBay and Aliexpress.com. I just done a quick search on Aliexpress and this is the cheapest I could find. But if you search around you might find it even cheaper. That one I linked is just over €3 and I've seen them on other sites for €20! Also note that prices will vary on the model of phone you have. I have noticed that 4 and 4s covers and cases are becoming less and less available now. Like there is this amazing Baymax cover I want so bad but it's only available for newer iPhones. Boo.

On eBay I could only find the Ghost case for iPhone 4s here and it's a bit more expensive at €7. But for newer versions it's cheaper at about €4-€5. I do find Aliexpress better price wise.

I search "Silicone Ghost iPhone" Or "Silicone Ghost iPhone Case" it also helps to put in the model of your phone but not always. Sometimes you might find more available just searching the first simple one. Also while I was searching for that I found this amazing No Face from Spirited Away iPhone Case.

This is a perfect example of how you should search as many different names and descriptions as possible. No Face is from the Studio Ghibli animated film Spirited Away which I highly recommend you watch, but on this eBay sale there is no mention of that. I found it searching "Silicone Ghost iPhone" and the name they have given it in the listing is "Ghost Monster".  There is actually quite a lot of them in that search. This one being the cheapest but not available for iPhone 4S. He's also available under that same search on Aliexpress. I've seen the same with Totoro phone cases, sometimes he's under "Cartoon Bear" or even "Cat iPhone Case".  I even found these cute Monsters Inc cases by searching "Cartoon Bear iPhone".

Just to show you the size! Also got that WITCH hat on eBay or Aliexpress for a couple of euros!

So this was meant to be a short review on the super cute perfect for Halloween Ghost iPhone Case but ended up as a bit of a guide to buying phone cases. I hope it helped someone anyhow. If you find a phone case you like, it never hurts to head to eBay or Aliexpress and see can you get it cheaper. A lot of the time you can find alternatives. I know a site that's selling these Bluey Green Shell iPhone cases for a lot more than €4 ;) Those Boys Tears ones are all over Aliexpress as well!

The Ghost Phone Case I have is so great. I think some people might find it bulky but I like the bulkiness. Its great to hold and the silicone means it doesn't slide around on surfaces. The only down side was the pumpkin fell off! Well it was kind of my fault. It's not meant for pockets. Jean pockets anyhow. It got stuck in them and when I pulled too hard the poor pumpkin came off. I have since glued it back on and it's fine though! It's one of my favourite phone cases and perfect for this time of year! Oh and did I mention, IT GLOWS IN THE DARK! Yessssss! :D

Let me know if you get one for yourself or any of the others mentioned or if this post helped you at all with looking for your perfect phone case without breaking the bank!

"That girl thinks she's the queen of the neighborhood
She's got the hottest trike in town
That girl she holds her head up so high
I think I want to be her best friend, yeah"

January's Alternative Curves theme was Riot Grrl Heroines and because it's so awesome I had to go back and do it even though I'm months too late.

If I'm honest I don't actually remember when I first came across the whole Riot Grrl scene. I think it could have been both when I got into Nirvana (who led me to Hole, L7, Babes of Toyland etc.) and Black Flag, well mainly Henry Rollins talking about Bikini Kill, 7 Year Bitch, Lunachicks and more. It would have been around the time I learned more about Feminism as well. Women playing loud angry punk musics and singing about women's rights? Hell yeah that's my kinda thing!

The Riot Grrl fashion in my opinion was basically just wear whatever the hell you wanted to wear which included flannel, denim, boots, dresses, flowery things and messy hair and makeup (if any at all!).

I went for a skirt as I thought it was feminine but combined with everything else still looks edgy and punk.

I think I got this denim shirt in New Look. When I got it I knew I had to add some patches. I still actually have a few more to add to it. I think the "Everybody's too Stupid" patch works so perfect for this look as well as the Enid brooch and "I can't relate to 99% of humanity" patch below, all from Ghost World of course.

Princess Bumblegum pin, I would very much consider her a Riot Grrl! :P The bat pin I made myself.

Steve Intermission! He's telling me how to pose :P

How amazing are these X Files earrings? They came to mind for this look as I think Dana Scully is one of the best female characters out there. My choker is from Aliexpress, I got a pack of 5 for about €2!

How amazing are my skeleton socks?! I got them in a shop in St Georges Arcade in Dublin. My amazing Doc's were a present from my boyfriend. I love them so much!

Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed! :D

Furi-Asha is what Steve likes to call me or Ash Dangerfox for some reason! :P I haven't been around much lately because of computer problems. Damn computers. I have one up and running now so I'm excited to get back to my blogging. I missed out on lots of Alternative Curves posts (I actually hope to do some of the past themes in future even though they're over cos they're just so damn awesome) but decided to jump right back in with this months theme "Alter Ego". At first when I thought of alter ego "does it have to be someone completely different to me? Do I need to be the opposite of myself?" Then I gave it a google just to see the proper definition:

"a person's secondary or alternative personality. "

"in the flesh she is a million miles from her photographic alter ego"

But then all that made me think of was the person I actually want to be. Not that I'm totally unhappy with myself but I do choose not to wear certain clothes and makeup because of being judged or talked about negatively by others. I have very bad anxiety and doubt myself constantly and just don't feel good most of the time.

"Where does she think she's going dressed like that?" "She's too fat to wear that" "eww" "other nasty comments"

Those thoughts ran through my head as I put this outfit together. I said it to my boyfriend Steve and he just tells me to shut up and put on the clothes and that I look awesome and fuck what everyone else thinks. FUCK 'EM (need to find that Christopher Walken Seven Psychopaths clip).  Thank you Steve.

So who is my alter ego? Well I've always ALWAYS wanted to do this with my makeup. I remember seeing it on the internet years ago and for the life of me I can't remember where. You also see similar makeup like this in movies, Blade Runner and Mad Max come to mind. Mad Max was one of the main reasons. My boyfriend and I seen it in the cinema 5 times cos we're cool like that. I shaved my green (well it was purple at the time) mohawk for many reasons but one of them was Furiosa, I'm not gonna lie.

Badass, I wanna look badass. With that makeup and those clothes, who would dare mess with me?! I want to make sure nobody's going to say anything negative about me other than "Oh shit we better leave" or "She's super awesome and we should be friends" :D

To look awesome and be sure of myself mainly. To wear the clothes I want. To wear the makeup I want and not second guess my fashion or style decisions. My alter ego would have no problem being who she wants to be.

Intermission: Steve attack! He's the most bootiful.

Having green or any coloured hair clashes horribly with so much clothes. I was getting frustrated that I couldn't buy neutral colours without the coloured hair taking over. Don't get me wrong I love coloured hair but for now my style has changed and I'm going with it. I bought some new clothes which I hope to do future outfit posts with and I bought this amazing leather vest. I was actually on the hunt for a leather jacket but ended up trying this on in H&M and it was so much nicer than any of the leather jackets there. It had to be mine. Another amazing thing is that vest is a size 14. Obviously it won't close as I'm a size 18-20 but it fits perfect everywhere else. H&M's sizes have really surprised me.

The amazing flowy, grey dress is from H&M as well and it's a size Medium! Whhhhhat?! I saw it on the rails and I was raging there was no size Large so I just tried on the Medium and it fit perfect. See? H&M amazing sizes. I say the large would fit a 20-26 cos this Medium would even fit a 24. It's just so stretchy, loose and hangs so perfect.

My leggings are also from H&M (I'm just a walking advertisement for H&M) but seriously H&M are brilliant and I had no idea they had such great stuff and in super sizes. Those leggings are XL and while they fit me they're actually miles too big for me. So if you're looking for 20, 24, 26+ size leggings I'm really sure these will fit. I have since bought a size large and they're perfect and don't dig in or anything. The quality is great as well. I find things don't stick to them bad and they're soft.

My Ankh earrings I made myself and if you want a pair they're about €5, just leave me a comment! I have an earring cuff from penneys which I got in a pack of 3 or 4 for 50c. My bracelets are also from Penneys in sales for like 50c each. Go Penneys. My skull necklace is from Fashionology.nl I think. It was awhile ago! My boots are Doc Martens for stomping around.

What I'm wearing:

Leather Vest: H&M

Dress: H&M 

Leggings: H&M

Necklace: Fashionology.nl (I think)

Ear Cuff and Bracelets: Penneys/Primark

Ankh Earrings: Made them myself

Boots: Doc Martens

On my face:

Eyebrows: HD Brows and some cheap ass clear brow gel

Contour: Seventeen Define and Contour Kit

Before I go, how awesome is the location? We stopped in a village called Taghshinny which isn't too far from where I live. There is a couple of old buildings right in the middle of the village. It's sad but makes for great location when taking photos!

Thanks to Steve for taking all the photos! And making me get out of the car when I didn't want people to see me and hiding me when cars went past and making me feel better in general :P
