FASHION: A/W12-13 Trend#1: GLAM GOTH

Is it just me who can really feel the changing of the seasons right now? The crispness in the morning air, the leaves beginning to turn colour and the deluge of rain yesterday can only mean one thing - winter is coming (nope, that line never gets old!). 

Autumn/winter does come with some benefits - Christmas, cosying up, hot chocolate and of course A/W fashion! I get so much more excited about this season than I do about S/S in terms of fashion (obvs I always look forward to summer weather, but in Scotland summer sometimes doesn't arrive!).  

A/W clothes for the last few years have been what I would call 'elegant goth'.  Dark lace and leather, but with opulent textures like fur and velvet softening the look.  This look is sticking around for another year, and here are my favourite items so far for the look:

Mini PU Peplum Dress (Miss Selfridge); Bob Studded Ankle boot (Schuh); Oxblood Pleated Dip Hem Skirt (Topshop); Black Marcella Dipped Hem Dress (Quiz); Corset Stretch Buckle Belt (New Look)
