Favourite Things Friday #10

I work my first shift at this new job today! So nervous/excited, wish me luck!

This week's Friday Faves are 2spoopy. I know, I know, It's November 1st, but my Halloween excursion is tonight so I (un)officially declare that Halloween is still on! With that said, get a load of this week's roundup:

VIP Thicket Dress by Modcloth

Finally, a dress with skulls and roses that doesn't contain sugar skulls! Just regular ol' skulls on this baby. And my oh my is it ever pretty.

This Halloween Pin Up Dress by Sew-Misunderstood 

I couldn't find any info on whether I can link to images on her blog so just click the link and bask in the awesome that is this dress and the gorgeous person wearing it!

Apex Predator Shoes by Fantich & Young via NY Daily News

Oh my word these are fantastic! And mildly terrifying... but fantastic nonetheless!

Candy Corn Shoe by Spirit Halloween

Too cute! I'm already trying to find a pair of my shoes I can bear to part with so I can make my own.

Bloody Cleaver Clutch Purse via Amazon

Bring on the gore! Is it weird that I find this little guy cute? And That I would use it for everyday wear? ...Don't answer that.

Victorian Vamp Coffin Purse by Madame Mari Mortem

I have longed for a coffin purse since I was a wee little 13 year old baby bat but I never did get one. This one is simply stunning. I think I will be coveting this for the rest of forever.

For those of you still celebrating my favourite holiday, Happy Halloween!

Favourite Things Friday #5

Oh dear, has it really been a week since my last post? Time sure flies. What better way to jump back into blogging than with this gold tooth jumper?

Gold Teeth Jumper by Aorta

Eee! I am in love with it. I have a thing for teeth. And jumpers. Need I say more? 

Side note: I am actually waiting to be accused of ripping off/copying/etc. Kaylah from The Dainty Squid, and have been ever since a friend of mine pointed out the similarities (which I think are totally minor) in our blogs. I really admire Kaylah, and her style, photos, and killer hair, and I would love to pick her brain on a number of things from photography to hair dying. I'm kind of amazed that I've come across another human being with so many interests that are similar to my own. I started following her blog awhile ago and when I came across her tooth collection I flipped. I am so jealous of it. Mine only consists of baby teeth and wisdom teeth, and a tooth brooch thus far. As for my name, the Myopic comes from me being nearsighted as heck, and Squid from my love of cephalopods and all things tentacally (totally a word!), which was reinforced by Lindsey Way some time ago with this and this)

Boat Neck Flamingo Dress by Jennifer Lilly Designs  

I laughed when I saw this dress. It's so... well, me! Everything from her shop is just darling. If I were made of money I'd snap up everything she has, I swear.

Silver Branch Twig Set by Colby June

Jeez this is so elegant. It looks so delicate. And for some reason all I picture wearing it with is my favourite jeans and a button up shirt.

At The Bottom Of Everything by Lindsey Way

Speaking of Lindsey Way, I adore every piece of art she's created I come across. The woman is genius. I am in awe of her talent constantly, and the fact that this is a paper sculpture is kind of mind blowing to me. My own experiments with paper were utter failures so I really admire her work. And I wish this sculpture was sitting in my home right now. Beautiful.

A Ctenophore

I love Comb Jellies (ctenophora). I mean, just look at it. Yes this is a real animal, and yes it really is this cool looking. They make their own light (through bioluminescence) and they are beautiful.

Anatomically Correct Lung Locket by Peggy Skemp

I am in love with Peggy Skemp Jewelry. I was drawn in awhile ago by the Anatomical Heart Locket, hooked with the tentacle collection, and now, my friends, I am in love. I have decided that I need to own a piece by her at some point in my lifetime. Psst, she also has an Etsy shop.

Stay Scary,

Berlyn
