GHOULISH FASHION FOR HALLOWEEN & BEYOND!

Kitsch capes and witches brooms aside, Halloween-inspired fashion doesn't have to be just for the 31st October. Gothic glamour is a key trend this season, with crucifixes, creepy crawly prints and pumpkin hues popping up across the catwalks and high street. Here's my pick of the best pieces online that you will be happy to be seen dead in this Halloween:

PAURIC SWEENEY BAGS HIT THE OUTNET

If I had a spare 500 quid right now (which I definitely don't), I'd be investing in a Pauric Sweeney handbag. For those of you unfamiliar with Pauric's designs, he first shot to fashion fame in the noughties when his python skin handbags became the celebrity tote of choice. Since then he has been busy perfecting the quality and designs of his bags at his global head quarters in Florence, sourcing the finest leathers to create some of the most beautiful luxury handbags on the market. I was actually lucky enough to meet the one-time architecture student turned handbag designer last year, before the opening of his new Mayfair flagship store. As well as being utterly charming, Sweeney is a fascinating guy with a real eye for design and a passion quality products. Up close his holdalls are simply incredible; made from the most luxurious of tactile materials finished with unique architectural hardware details. So, what better excuse to 'invest' in some accessory genius than with some tempting discounted styles on The Outnet right now?
