"My 26 Little Summer Must Haves" #7

G is for Gothic Romantic touches...

Now when I say gothic, I don't mean you need to race to the nearest Hot Topic and ornate yourself in full on Marilyn Manson garb! However, the more I look at fashion it's becoming clear that dark lips, pale skin and ornate flourishes of the gothic style are making a comeback...who would have thought that 'True Blood' and 'Twilight' would have made such an impact?!

Check out Lily Allen's twist on the look (above), girl knows how to rock it! Even an LBD can take on a completely different feel when mixed with lace and elaborate trim. Plus, you don't have to go with a complete morbid color pallete, sometimes even navy can take on a sophisticated and romantically goth feel when paired correctly like Daniella from 'The Fashion Show' portrays with her winning design. Learn it and love it!
