Trick or Treat?

With what is possibly the most commercialised day of the year coming up, it's time to get your broomsticks and vampire fangs out, as Halloween is upon us.

I've never been a fan of Halloween, I once made Marmite cakes with an old school friend one year to give to all the trick or treaters (completely fell through, the marmite seeped out the bottom and we were just left with what was predominantly sponge that had a tangy kick to it - GBBO, I wouldn't recommend) however a certain designer has managed to create an entire capsule collection based around the holiday which has made me much more susceptible to the pagan festival.

Charlotte Olympia has created turned her signature Kitty Cat pumps into a menacing feline, she's created pumpkin clutches and bat heels to help us all do the day in style. The collection is fun, endearing, yet entirely chic - a hard combination to make and one of the reasons Charlotte Olympia remains one of my favourite labels.

However, like everything nowadays it all comes at a price - and a pretty hefty one at that. I would make sure you had quite a few Halloween party invitations stacked up for years to come to make an investment out of them!
