Come follow me. We're all sinners down here. You know how they say hell is empty? I've seen way too many devils in my time. The trick is, we see them all wrong. The treat is, once you see, the cleansing begins. Don't let the bloodletting scare you, it's natural. Those tears will dry and you'll never have closed eyes again. I will wear the red like warrior paint. Now they'll know that I have vision. I have crimson hands from years of exsanguination. Not mine of course but yours, oh boy. I grow stronger. I find tourniquets. Eventually the others are fully drained, architects of their own misfortune. I promise I had little to do with it.

I took the hard road. I walked through the fire to find freaks like me. There's a doll girl who plays a fair game. I fell in love with the skeleton boy whose head bleeds above my bed. The jack-o'-lantern always has vampires for me to meet. I so miss my witches up north with their faithful kitty cats. We seem like the scary ones sometimes because our rituals appear all too strange. We're just curious late bloomers who believe in magic. There's more than one plain to walk on, a whole realm is out there. Join us. You won't be sorry.

All the creepy kids come out to play. Trick or treat, it's Halloween so let's break some hearts. Pink hair everywhere. Spiked crowns and sharp boots. She's a sugar skull queen, a vixen underneath all that sweet. I'm one of several Harleys at the party, looking for trouble in my smudged lipstick. Think you can take us? We like our boys with tattoos but hey, maybe a blue-eyed guy with a naughty smile will do. 

I'll go out and find myself in a stranger's sailor hat, talking to someone whose fake mustache keeps getting stuck to the bottom of his shoe. I'll knock my knee on the table and catch sight of blood mingling with my fishnet stockings while Sandy and Danny kiss in the corner. Scooby and Velma are showing everyone photos of the dog they're adopting next week. A pregnant Alice In Wonderland catches up with her skeleton friend. Kesha's Die Young blasts in the background and the bar is packed with witches and vampires trying to get a drink. Killer clowns run around scaring people and all of the Ninja Turtles are dancing. 

It's time to dress up and be someone else for a second, or maybe it's the most yourself you get to be all year. Fashion is fun and life is a party. You're all invited.

I finally got to meet Simone, a beautiful blogger I've been stalking on Snapchat. Don't you just love the internet? It brings together like-minded girls with a penchant for crazy hair and a passion for being creative. Simone is effortlessly cool and funny. I felt instantly comfortable in her presence and I'm so grateful to her because she helped me get inspired again. I was so excited by her idea for a collab and I'm really happy with how it turned out. We got a whole lot of stares and scored many smiles on the way to the shoot. It makes me wish Halloween happened more often. Check on Simone's blog, RawExplosions.com and follow her on Instagram @simonemunnik. Thanks to all the amazing girl crushes I got to work with on this shoot!

I absolutely love Halloween and with my new dark grey hair, who better to be than Wednesday? My favourite costumes are the ones you can create last-minute from your own closet because it gives you an opportunity to get creative with make up and use your own key accessories to add that personal touch to your look. This is what I'm going to be rocking at the end of the month and now Zuri is giving one of my readers the chance to win all of the accessories pictured, just in time for Halloween!

I know I love the gothy stuff but if that's not your thing, I did include some pretty stackable rings and a chain cuff that you can either wear lose and low or tight and high. LOVE ❤

How to enter: use the Rafflecopter widget below to follow Zuri on at least two social networks. If you already follow them, just confirm this.

If you have Twitter, you can enter again by tweeting the message within the widget which you'll get a chance to preview before you publish. Basically, the more actions you take, the more your entries you'll get. Easy as pumpkin pie!

This competition is only open to South African residents. The winner will be announced on the 28th of October. Good luck!
