Let’s talk Fall 2015 fashion trends, shall we? Do you really care how to wear this season’s car wash skirt or that godawful psychedelic fringed poncho? Is someone, somewhere, still trying to make those drop-crotch harem pants a thing?

Do you really care about what’s trending sartorially, anyhow? Personally, I feel like none of it is the slightest bit relevant to me or my experience.

You know what is relevant to me and my habits and personality? Dripping stone walls and overgrown graveyards. Trap doors, secret dungeons, and locked tower rooms. Footsteps creaking upon staircases and fingers clutching dusty candelabras. Howlings and shriekings, groanings and gibberings, and the clanking of chains. Drafty turrets, swirling mists, and sudden winds.

Do you follow me?

Haunted castles, my friend.  Haunted castles are a vital part of my Fall/Winter 2015 fashion scene.

I have put together three full ensembles (with accessories!) in which you can cloak yourself  as you traverse ghostly passageways alongside insubstantial spectres and white-haired women turned lunatic and raving.

You prefer haunts crawling with vampires and bloodhounds and vanished corpses, you say? Worry not, we’ve got you covered there, as well. From creepy keeps to cursed citadels, your haunted castle wardrobe needs are well-met with frocks from ghoulish  designers and macabre baubles to match.

Ugh, that Erdem Finola gown is so beautiful! Not that I'm able to rush out and buy it, but I've always feared my shoulders are too broad to pull off those delicate dresses I love so much. And I wish those Chloe lace up boots were on my feets right this minute. It kills me that Victorian ladies all seemed to have such dainty feet. Every time I find a beautiful pair of vintage high-heeled boots they practically scream out at the sight of my size 10 feet.
