Black Milk "Pulp Horror" Collection

L-R What a Mess, Free Spirit and Wicked Web
I'm usually quite reasonable when it comes to new launches, I usually only buy one to try and then see if I want to spend more later, by which point something else has come along and has caught my attention.

However, there is nothing that can make me say "Shut up and take my money!" faster than a new Black Milk launch and their new Halloween "Pulp Horror" collection was no exception.

I normally only buy one piece from Black Milk at a time but as I found myself with a little extra cash I decided to indulge and I chose three, including two limited pieces.

The first piece I chose was the "What A Mess" reversible skater dress, which is a permanent part of the collection with a blood-splattered bathroom tile print. This dress can either be worn with a high neck and a low back, or vice versa. Personally I prefer to have my back covered but I like that I have the choice.

The second item I chose was the "Free Spirit" reversible skater dress which was only on sale for 48hrs after the collection launched so I'm really pleased I managed to grab one! (Not like I sat waiting for the website to re-open on launch day or anything...) I absolutely love the cute ghost print on this and I definitely wouldn't save this as a "just for Halloween" dress. You can bet I'll definitely be pairing this up with a Christmas jumper come December! Well, Scrooge was visited by the Ghost of Christmas Past after all!

The last thing I got was the "Wicked Web Silver Cheerleader Skirt" which was a limited edition item. This has a matching crop top but as you could not get me in a crop top if you paid me, I opted for the skirt on it's own. I was really pleasantly surprised with just how much material is in this skirt, it's so heavy! I wore it yesterday with just a plain t-shirt and some ankle boots and it was so comfortable and stretchy, a good going-out for dinner outfit!

I was a little apprehensive at first about ordering from Australia but at the time, the exchange rate was excellent so everything was really reasonable and their clothing is such fab quality, I can't fault the price I paid. Secondly, I used the free shipping option and didn't even have to pay customs (I actually wouldn't have minded because of the free shipping!) The sizing is pretty spot on, I order a size XL as I'm a UK 18-20 and that's fine for me (the leggings tend to roll a little but that's just my figure) so i would say if you're a fan then definitely try some of their stuff out!

Do you have a Black Milk collection? What have you got in the past?
