New York Fashion Week Trend Alert: Bloodsuckers
I'm forever intrigued by bloodsuckers, but the sexiest monster has once again been popularized with the successes of Twilight and True Blood. I'm actually surprised I didn't see more gothic romance on the Fall runways; then again, we still have London, Milan, and Paris to go. A handful of New York designers delivered sultry, moody looks complete with sharp black outwear, ruffled blouses, lace aplenty, blood-colored tights and tulle, and neck-baring sexiness.
Steal of the Day: Gothic Dessert Plate
If ever I come across a discounted Thomas Paul design, my ears perk up; I love his work. But, in this case, the Thomas Paul Gothic Dessert Plate Set ($23.10, reduced from $38.50) caught my eye because their creepy silhouettes look straight out of The Ring Two. We've got a young girl (Samara), a horse (from the old Morgan horse farm), a boy (Aiden Keller — Naomi Watt's son), and a black crow thrown in there for good measure.
Have a Classy Halloween
This Friday is Halloween but not everybody wants to dress up as a cat, a witch or anything else ghoulish. Some people will want to dress up in a very classy party ensemble and there are many options available!
This season gothic chic appeared on the catwalk at Givenchy and Gareth Pugh so it's a particularly good time for Halloween costumes.
Celebrity Style: Kimberly Stewart
Kimberly Stewart was out on the town last night with her new-maybe-beau Rhys Ifans and Kelly Osbourne. She was out partying in an on-trend gothic look which mixed fabrics and texture. Flashes of colour came from her Givenchy-inspired gold cross necklace and red Christian Louboutin heels.
Crave Worthy: Black Crystal Chandelier
Granted, this black crystal chandelier ($7,500) from Neiman Marcus is a bit gothic for some people's tastes, but it still has a compellingly dark appeal. Constructed of black crystal strands that are attached to a hand-forged iron frame, this chandelier would really make your next Vampire Lestat Ball. What do you think?

Kristen Stewart Wears Alexander McQueen for Harper's
There's a tremendous amount of hype growing around the second Twilight movie, New Moon, which will be released on the 20th November. Kristen and Robert have gained a lot of attention scoring many magazine covers including American Harper's Bazaar (you can read the interview here). In the steamy shoot the actors had fun in an impressive designer wardrobe which included pieces by Gucci, Dior Homme, Versace and Prada.
This Week's Fab Faves
I am totally tickled by this week's stylish offerings. There was color, frills, glamour, and — above all — experimentation. But no trio looked cuter than these three at the Jason Wu event at Neiman Marcus.
Fabby Halloween: The Craft
The Craft became a sleepover staple when I was at High School. We would discuss which girl we'd be and it definitely inspired our teenage rebellion wardrobe! This makes it a great Halloween costume, especially if you're attending a party with a group of friends.
Desire/Acquire: Luna Chandelier
If you're into dark glamour, run, don't walk to the Luna Chandelier ($1200). With gothically elegant charm, this chandelier balances its dark exterior shade with a cluster of clear crystals. However, even if you absolutely adore this piece, your pace might be slowed down a bit thanks to the chandelier's tragic price tag.
