Goth fashion gets it's roots from the popular Medieval-Romance novels of the 1700's. Those novels coincided with a then current fascination for Gothic Architecture (which was so often incorporated into the books.) Because the theme of these books was most usually dark, and death was a prominent fixture in this fashionable fiction, London's Goth Fashion/Lifestyle/Music Movement that was started in the Post Punk 1980's was given this associative name. With whatever the movement happens to be going through today, there is still an active pursuit of this fashion style (known for it's revolution around the color black and it's associated drama,) because it happens to be gorgeous! Whether you are a devote goth or just someone who knows good fashion and likes to mix it up a bit, the Goth Fashion Movement sticks around for this reason: It's interesting, intriguing, a little bit beguiling and undeniably beautiful. Today's selection offers a few suggestions to tap into the softer side of your own mysterious mistress. Discover your damsel of darkness ... your inner Gothica.

Valentines Day is the day of Love. In nature, love/mating and its desire is generally elaborately displayed with gorgeous colors and movements - so Fashion Paradise says away with the usual pinks and reds that everyone else will be wearing - you're not an everyone-else-will-be-wearing kind of gal." Instead, we suggest emulating something beautiful in nature that, when in the thought of love, becomes even more magnificent ... we're talking about the peacock! Now, we don't mean that you should don a bunch of feathers and start making shrill cries in the night (although, if you do feel so inclined, that's up to you ;-.) No, we're talking about the gorgeous colors and richness of this brazen, admirably stunning avian - that's the angle we're approaching from. You don't have to tell people you're channelling a peacock, just know that in this ensemble, you are the most magnificent bird in the wild. Strut like you know it, you incredible creature, for we can't help but love and admire you!
