Happy Halloween! To celebrate our (arguably) favorite holiday of the year, we’ve scoured The Coveteur archives to dig up the skeletons in our closets…literally. We resurrected our fave skull-filled photos, but you may have to squint to find some of the skulls. Whether it’s detail on a McQueen clasp or classic Stubbs slippers, we’ve certainly seen our fair share of skeletons in our Coveteurs’ closets. From the pillows at Ben Watts and Jennifer Fisher’s abodes to the décor at Lauren Santo Domingo, Katie Nehra, Kate Ciepluch and Sara Riff’s, our Coveteurs have truly shown us their dark sides. And if you haven’t found a Halloween costume yet, we suggest you watch our #minicoveteurs video (and go as Anna Wintour or Uncle Karl).

These are custom trainers (I can always find them!). Can you tell I’m addicted to these notebooks?! Magazines I’m sure to pick up include Fantastic Man, W, Interview, Vanity Fair and 10Magazine.

This astrakan bag is one of my all-time most cherished pieces. It is from the Fall 2010 collection and was a gift from the designer himself, Peter Dundas. There are only four in the world, so I feel pretty fortunate to be one of the lucky few. This bag is me all over the place, my dream bag.

I went through this phase of wearing scarves tied around my head when I had long crazy hair and lived in California; my little cousin used to actually tell his classmates he had a pirate for a cousin! I became obsessed with these scarves when I lived down the block from Maxfield. They would literally get in a new style every other week and I would be there first thing to get the best choice of color. My favorite one has to be the red Kama Sutra one that is covered in cigarette holes.

I bought this brass figurine from Brimfield flea market, and I put my rings on it every night before I fall asleep. The swallow cuff is from a little shop in Paris and the vintage red spider brooch is one of my favorites. His wonky little eyes always make me smile.

I’m originally Canadian and came back to Toronto to help set up the Soho House. This city has changed so much (for the better) since I left, after finishing high school. It was great being back and crashing in my friend’s loft in Leslieville—a neighborhood that didn’t really exist when I last lived here. I stay in our hotels when I travel for work.

I love texture. The pillows are grey Mongolian lamb hair from West Elm. The first time I wore these shoes I fell and split my head open. I had to get two staples in my head just days before fashion week. Still love these shoes.

The bracelet was a holiday gift from my best friend and also looks great as a headband for my skull. I bough the Collier de Chien belt at a vintage store in Paris, and fantasize about really attaching Lola to my waist for a walk down Blvd St. Germain. Requisite reading by Jay-Z under my treasured Juliska vase.

The leather turban was a gift from my devastatingly brilliant friend, Jessica Kaplan, who died at the age of 24 in 2003. She was a huge classic movie buff, so I feel very Joan Crawford whenever I rock this. The monogrammed Kelly bag belonged to my grandmother, and namesake, Jeanne Price. My grandmother also died far too young, so it’s extremely special that you put these pieces together…it’s like a Día de los Muertos ofrenda! I just need to add their favorite cocktails and some marigolds!

These are a pair of wingtip boots that were made by a shoemaker in Manchester. He makes them for the Gallaghers (Oasis). They turned me on to him and sent me a pair. They’re sitting in front of a Damien Hirst Spin/Skull painting, that Damien and I created together at his studio.

I love these shoes! I’ve been obsessed with skulls all year. When I saw them at Harvey Nichols in London, I had to have them. This necklace is super contemporary, but maintains its traditional Indian feel. I like to accessorize with a pop of color, and this one definitely does the trick.

My mood board has things that I love and continue to inspire me. I have a load of things I want to add but there's no space left—I need another one. This belt has been sitting in my closet while I try to figure out how to pull it off. It’s more of a thing I just love. It might show up in a editorial before it's on me.

These Chien de Collier gloves are just insane. I’ve had them for a few years now and I’m still nervous every time I wear them because I lose all my gloves I refuse to lose these!

It's all about nosebleed wedges this season, in this case, by Lanvin and Givenchy. Both of these shoes have a luxurious handmade quality and a toughness to them that is a perfect complement to a pretty dress. I love to be tall, and these are super high without being too prissy and ladylike. While I always get an "are you insane?" look when I say these are comfortable, they actually are—relatively—comfortable. The bronze skull sculptures are by LA-based artist Nathan Mabry. I'm loving the Gothic mix of the black skulls with the brutality of the slight S&M playfulness of the shoes.

My ex-boyfriend who is one of my best friends bought these for my birthday – and he was already an ex! He knows my shoe obsession and knew that they would make me happy. I believe he said 'Great, so I bought you shoes that will make other guys think you’re hot and get you dates…sweet.'

They look like a weapon and they certainly do some damage to my feet! The butterfly jar is from Palm Springs. I recently renovated my house, so road trips to Palm Springs are amongst my current obsessions. It's great to just jump in the car, Jack FM on the stereo, and go hunting for treasure in the vintage stores and retro furniture stores.

They say you should judge a man by his watch, but I don’t think you should at all. It’s an opportunity for a male to express their style and personality. Some people go with crazy outlandish ones, but I go with Rolex because it is a classic and I’ve collected them over the years. I have a limited collection, but it is a stylish one. It’s an understated way of stating your type of style. The box that I keep my watches in is in perpetual motion. That way when you are not wearing one, you put it in there and don’t have to constantly update the date and time.

I have worn those bad boys all year long. I got them at this great resale store in Vegas. It's at the end of the strip and they sell Céline, Givenchy and Alaïa. It's called Designer Fashion Clearance. It's almost worth a flight to Vegas just to go there. I did all of the hair featured in the "Room 23" book.

Kate and Laura are so awesome! I really wanted one of these knits. I talk to them quite a bit and we just did this rad project together for SHOWstudio: a retrospective of all their collections up until FW11. I'm so excited for it to come out! I think I asked for 80 percent black and 20 percent white and they did it. I love them! They are the most interesting people to talk to and to have a creative conversation with. I love to talk to them, they inspire me so much.

I've known Jeremy [Scott] for years now; he’s such an imaginative and innovative designer. These two jackets were Christmas gifts from him, and I rock them both all the time—the skeleton one to the gym and the sparkly one out to the club. He's a genius. The white bag was a gift from Ferragamo, a label that both my grandma and I are huge fans of.

I’ve had these sunglasses forever! I wore them a lot when I lived in NYC but now I find it hard to wear white sunglasses since the LA weather keeps me tanned. Shopping for Home in LA is amazing! I love This is Not Ikea, Blue Print, and Rugs and Art. Rachel and Rodger moving me to the West Coast was a great decision, I'm happy and feel extremely at home here.

I love vintage furniture probably too much. I buy furniture like I buy accessories. It is always an emotional purchase and I worry about where it will go after the fact. I purchased this old filing cabinet on one of my favorite websites, One Kings Lane. I love color in my accessories. The Cleo necklace (left) is one of my favorite pieces. The Hixson neon collar is from our SS12 collection. It has a very surf culture feel to it and makes me miss summer (my favorite season). I love wearing it under a buttoned up collared shirt or over a vintage tee.

I got these boots at Jeffrey, one of my favorite places to shop for shoes. They combine everything I look for in a shoe - a high heel, a big platform, and python. This is one of my favorite jackets. The shape makes it so unique. Most people say I look like a beetle when I wear it.
