No Bones About It

by Emily

I’m much more Gossip Girl than Gothic Chic, but even I have a weakness for skulls around Halloween. They’re clearly a seasonal trend, but these pieces have year-round appeal with their suggestively ominous tones that aren’t over-the-top.

1. Skull Pendant, $75 – The rose that’s held between this skull’s teeth adds a haunting aspect to this necklace that’s perfect for layering.

2. Burnout Skull Rose Tank, $95 – Upon first glance, this loose tank top resembles a black and white array of flowers, only to take shape after several seconds. I would wear this with skinny black pants and loads of bangles.

3. Skull Bracelet, $190 – I love exceedingly simple pieces like this Me&Ro bracelet that’s made of just natural cord and two skull charms.

4. Sherpa-lined Critter Wellies, $78 – These black and white rain boots are such a refreshing departure from all of the candy-colored options out there.

5. Studded Pirate Headband, $7 – This cotton headband is such an easy way to alleviate a bad hair day with a quirky, pirate-inspired pattern.

Hi there-lovely pieces, I’d have WendyBs stunning skull ring if money were no object though!! I’ve settled though for a skull print scarf that I got last week, haha!

I really like skulls all year around!And i love that tanktop, it’s very cute when the skull is “put together” by graphic elements!

i love skulls, too. seems like a weird thing to love but they’re an interesting symbol that confronts death without being creepy.

I just adore your blog Emily, your posts are always exquisite!
That skull singlet is wicked, it would look great under a leather jacket also! Keep up the squeal-worthy work, all my love, Tara xx

Oooh! The wellies are fantastic. And you’re right, they’re totally refreshing compared to the other, more saccharine choices.
