Halloween is just around the corner! It is such a fun holiday, especially the dressing up part! But you don’t have to dress up to get into the spirit of this holiday. It is actually a great time to experiment. My suggestion? Give a Halloween-ish style handbag a try! What’s so fun about this idea is that you can carry something somewhat outside of your comfort zone without feeling silly. It is Halloween, after all! Need help finding something to fit the bill? Simply check out my list of suggestions below. There are four categories and an example for each one. Enjoy!

Halloween-ish Category #1 – Gothic-inspired

House of Harlow 1960 Rey Bag
What is more gorgeous than a bordeaux velvet pouch? I love the Victorian-esque flower pattern on the antiqued frame closure. Plus the extra-long chain strap is perfect for cross-body wear. Definitely gothic-inspired! But don’t worry, this piece is tame enough so that people won’t think you’ve been shopping at Hot Topic.

Halloween-ish Category #2 – Furry

Michael Kors Hutton Box Frame Bag
Still not feeling the fur trend that has invaded practically every nook and cranny this season? This cute little box frame bag is a great candidate for testing the waters! It sort of reminds me of a furry little monster on a chain, perfect for Halloween! I absolutely adore the box chain strap, it’s so unique!

Alexander McQueen is in my top 3 favorite designers of all time. Sadly, I do not own any of his pieces but I know in do time I will. Ever since I saw the Skull Clutches and the Faithful Glove Clutch, I became an instant obsessed fan. McQueen was one of these designers that was eccentric /unique and that always showed in his fashion shows and pieces. Thankfully, the brand has decided to continue designing the way Alexander McQueen had always dreamed of.

I love clutches but I especially love them when they are by Alexander McQueen. McQueen’s clutches don’t look any other clutches out there. My favorite clutch by Alexander McQueen is definitely the “Skull Box” clutch. I love how it’s the same clutch every season just with different colors or designs. The price isn’t always enjoyable but each clutch literally looks like a piece of art.

Sometimes McQueen has other clutches that catch my eye. The last clutch that I absolutely loved but never purchased was the “Faithful Glove” clutch. It was unique and very edgy. I recently just spotted the “Pale Flesh” Clutch and I surprisingly liked it. I normally don’t like light clutches but this one screams elegance.

I’ve always have had an obsession with Alexander McQueen. Even when news broke loose that he had past I wept like a baby and wore fashionable items that featured skulls on them in his honor.

Alexander McQueen has always been a fashion God in the weirdest way possible. His fashion was a unique combination of both art and architecture. Some people say his thinking was over the top, I’d like to call is captivating.

One of my all time favorite pieces by Alexander McQueen has always been the Skull Clutch. Yes, it appears to be a simple, way overpriced clutch but the different themes each one had was interesting to see. Everytime Mr. McQueen came out with a new collection, we knew we could always expect the skull clutch featured in a totally different way than the previous season.
