I don’t know whether it’s because my imagination was over-stimulated as a child, but I tend to get ridiculously excited by themed holidays, especially Hallowe’en. When I was younger, we lived in a great big ancient house, with high ceilings, chandeliers and furniture carved with lions heads; perfect for telling ghost stories and playing spooky games. But as Australia tries to resist all form of gimmick (and because Hallowe’en there falls in Spring), it never quite felt right. So this year, I’m all about getting into the ghoulish spirit!
Apart from a hideously sprained ankle (which has left me with a rather attractive hobble), today was one of those perfect Autumn days in London. After indulging in new treats at Liberty and afternoon tea at Sketch, I limped down to Bond Street to drool over the bags in Mulberry (which lately is becoming a mild obsession to rival my love for Chanel).
I nearly squeeled with delight when I saw the store: it’s been temporarily transformed into a Hallowe’en grotto meets accessories heaven! Beautiful tan bags were perched atop pumpkins (carved with Mulberry bags and trees rather than ghoulish faces), and the clothes are the couture equivalent of Autumn leaves. And please gods of Hallowe’en, may I have everything in the window for my trick-or-treat?
And the best part? Pop into the store and you’ll come away with a trick-or-treat bag filled with old-fashioned candy. I brought a couple home for the Clever Boyfriend and his eyes lit up like a happy kid (he’s now in the subsequent sugar coma stage…).
Do you do anything to mark Hallowe’en? What would be your dream tick-or-treat surprise?
Love, Miss B xx
Love, love, love……….. beautiful pictures and gorgeous words! :0)
What a gorgeous window display! I adore Mulberry, my Mulberry collection of bags are one of my favourite things 🙂
I had the fake-great idea to be an intern in a congress during my holydays. If i’m not dead, i will probably be sleeping at halloween.
Thoses photos are really good. I like the skirt at the left!
Those window displays are amazing! I need to buy a pumpkin to carve today…
We have so much in common B! And yes I love Halloween-a bit too much I think sometimes. Sometimes I wish every day could be Halloween 😛
What great pictures. I feel I can reach out and actually feel the soft textured leather, the silky chiffons and cozy shearling. In fact I think I could wear them right now:P
Warm & Sunny. I love!
Everything I love about fall…all in one window (except for a pumpkin latte)! I love your blog!
Cheers,

You celebrate Halloween in the UK too? I had no idea!
Funny you posted this, as I went past the Mulberry store in Greenwich Village this afternoon and of course it was decorated with pumpkins as well! 😀 I’ll try to make it to the parade tomorrow, I’ve heard it’s a sight to see.
On another note I thought about you this afternoon as I walked past Carrie Bradshaw’s brownstone (I think you showed a picture in one of your posts about NY?)
is there a Mulberry shop in milan ?? how can i get one too ??
this looks unbelievably cute! all that orange makes me feel so halloween festive, which, like you said, australia doesn’t really do very well, does it? i celebrated by watching scary movies with mates and it was lovely.
we just had our first mulberry store open in the new westfield sydney! you’ll have to check it out when you come.

Beautiful photos! Thanks sooo much for sharing. 🙂
Oh wow.. Halloween heaven! And they were giving out sweets too? Love! xxx
J’adore Mulberry. I absolutely love the photos, they are beautiful. Odd how the Mulberry bags look so natural in juxtaposition to the pumpkins, they just fit in. The clothes are pretty divine also.
