The Rachelle Edit: Gothic Glamour

maybe its the time of year; colder days and darker nights, that are making me crave rich and luxurious shades of black, grey, burgundy and plum, I'm hugely inspired by the gothic-chic allure of a dark coloured injection not only into my wardrobe in the means of dramatic dresses, romantic draping and bold accessories - but charcoal chandeliers, slate walls and a particular plum shade of NARS lipstick...

I've selected my 'glam-goth' favourite  ranging from Pucci catwalk looks, dining ideas, an equally incredible £12.99 H&M blouse alongside a £5,070 Prabal Gurung one, spiked shoes and spiked bras and black glitter, lace, embellishment, silk and particularly fluffy eyelashes. This is goth chic at its finest.

The Rachelle Edit: New In | Valentino

I love anything studded, anything lacy, anything Valentino. No one combines studs and lace quite like Valentino. Imagine my delight when browsing my bookmarked 'New in' at Net a Porter, to stumble across all of these Valentino goodies. Too early to compose my Christmas list?. . .
