Dracula

 

Christmas is right around the corner and all I want to do is wear all the Dracula things. Red *is* a holiday color you know! La Femme En Noir's Bram Stoker's Dracula collection is one of my favorites of all time and I had to add this Gothic Tales dress to my wardrobe. Unlike more of their costume inspired pieces (the Mina dress being my favorite) the Gothic Tales dress feels more like an everyday piece. It's ridiculously comfortable and easy to wear in most seasons.

Dress- c/o La Femme En Noir

Shoes- Dr. Martens

Bag- c/o La Femme En Noir

Hat- old

Tights- Target

The Gothic Tales dress is one of La Femme En Noir's fan-favorite styles. It has a lace front bodice, leg of mutton sleeves, a dropped waist with a gathered skirt, deep side pockets and a back zippered closure. The jersey knit fabric is smooth to the touch and wrinkle resistant with a good amount of stretch. I love the illustrations that compose a hauntingly beautiful Dracula print. If you're a fan of the movie you'll love this print! I'm wearing my usual size small and while I think I could have worn an XS as well, I like how the small fits me. I paired it with the matching helmet bag for the ultimate Dracula inspired look. Both of these items are currently on sale on the website right now!

This dress (as well as everything else on the site) is available in sizes XS-4X. If you love a gothic/spooky vibe, you'll love pretty much everything from La Femme En Noir.

Candy Cane Lane

 

It's officially that time of year! My holiday cheer is at an all-time high and I'm obsessed with putting fun outfits together for the occasion. Ivy City Co has the most incredible holiday collection (including a few Nutcracker inspired pieces) and this candy cane jumpsuit was the perfect combination of festive and functional. The best part? Everything is on sale right now!

Jumpsuit- Ivy City Co (get an additional 15% off with code 15OFFSCB)

Shoes- Unique Vintage

Bag- Harvey's

The Candy Cane jumpsuit is fully lined and made from a light cotton fabric. It features puff sleeves, a v-neckline, functional buttons down the front, wide leg ankle length pants with pockets and a back zippered closure. It also comes with a matching tie belt. I tend to wear between and XS and Small in Ivy City items and I am comfortably wearing the small in this jumpsuit. It's such a fun piece and comfortable enough for the holidays at Disneyland. You can find this jumpsuit in sizes XXsmall-5X on the website now and make sure to check out the rest of their holiday collection as well!

Villain

 

November is always a happy month for me. I love the cooler weather, the excitement over the holidays and how my wardrobe *finally* gets to change. I love layering but I don't get many chances to actually use it! This Villain top from Disturbia is a great layering piece because it's super light and versatile. I wanted to show how I used it with lots of contrasting black items. This is basically my everyday fall/winter look!

Top- Disturbia

Corset- Lively Ghosts (use code SCB10 for a discount)

Shorts- c/o La Femme En Noir

Shoes- Dr. Martens

Bag- Harvey's

Tights- Target

The Villain blouse is what I lovingly refer to as a "puffy shirt" because it has a ruffled collar, crinkle-like texture and ties down the front. The sleeves are billowy and have elastic on the cuff so you can push them up if needed. I love how long and flowy it is, it truly looks great by itself or layered under pieces like this Lively Ghosts corset. I ordered a US8 so I could have lots of room and it definitely delivered. I also had to show off my new Dr. Martens x Wednesday loafers, they are my new favorite! I have that irrational fear where I want to buy a backup pair because I know they're a limited release. So far I'm not giving into that intrusive thought but I may just grab it in haste!

We're gearing up for the holidays and I feel more excited about it than I usually do. I think the idea of wearing cute outfits and spending lots of time at Disneyland is a helpful distraction from the state of the world right now. Whatever you gotta do to get that serotonin in, am I right?

Eclair

 

Are you ready for the holidays? As someone who is still mourning Halloween I can say not really but Ivy City Co just dropped their holiday collection and it definitely made my heart grow three sizes! You can find everything from pajamas to these beautiful Eclair dresses Bianca and I are wearing and guess what? Everything is currently 30% off! Use code CHEER30ASHLEY for that discount site wide and read more about these dresses below!

Dress- c/o Ivy City Clothing (use code 30CHEERASHLEY for 30% off)

Shoes- BAIT Footwear

Bianca's dress- c/o Ivy City Clothing (use code 30CHEERASHLEY for 30% off)

Bianca's shoes- Target

The Eclair dress is made from a beautiful deep red tulle fabric and features a square neckline with ruffled sleeves, a tiered skirt with lots of layers and a back zippered closure. The sleeves on the adult version are elasticized so you can wear them on or off the shoulders. I'm wearing my usual size 4 and I feel like I could have sized down but not enough to actually make the exchange. Bianca is wearing the 11-12, which is a size above her normal size. While it's a little loose, I wanted to make sure we had room because this girl is growing like crazy! We both love these dresses so much and we can't wait to wear them for our holiday card shoot!

The Ivy City Co site wide sale is on from now until November 9th. You'll get 30% off with code CHEER30ASHLEY! What will you be adding to your holiday wardrobe?

Spider Woman

 

Halloween is just days away at this point and the sweltering heat is just about on its way out. Living in California has so many pros but not being able to enjoy a proper fall is not one of them. Thankfully, it is now cool enough to wear this Bad Girl dress from Vixen by Micheline Pitt. I have this dress in a different color with a swing skirt and it's one of my favorite pieces in my collection. While I was a little hesitant to wear the wiggle version, I realize that this style gives off a true bad girl vibe. I was definitely feeling it!

Dress- c/o Vixen by Micheline Pitt

Shoes- Steve Madden

Hat- The Beheaded

Harness- BlackMilk Clothing

Tights- Target

The Bad Girl wiggle dress is made from a thick ponte material and features a mock neckline, long sleeves, wiggle skirt and back zippered closure. It also comes with a matching black belt but I switched it out for a fun harness. I'm wearing my usual size small in this dress and it's perfect. The ponte fabric gives with wear but is also rigid enough to feel like it's holding you in. Is it the perfect dress? I think so!

The Bad Girl dress is available in sizes XS-4X and comes in a few colors and choice of wiggle or swing skirt.
