Vamp it up, but don't camp it up in this season's spellbinding Victoriana trend, which has an enduring appeal from Halloween all the way through to all those Christmas parties you'll be attending.

Lace, tulle, and silk lingerie elements meet a few more modern pieces that certainly weren't around at the turn of the century, ie leather look skirts and rocking chain and stud bags to ensure you look vampish but not like the latest addition to The Adams Family.

Keep make-up natural, nee glowing with ethereal beauty or if you're living dangerously go with a black widow inspired noir-ish flick of eyeliner or this season's matt black lip but not together, if you want to beguile with your all black ensemble.
