haute horoscopeTM: Scorpio

by

I have a love/hate relationship with the period of Scorpio (and often with Scorpion people). It’s the time of year when the light crispness of Fall begins to transition into the heavy blur of winter. Fall fashion with it’s eye-catching accessories and lovely layers is forced to give way to the winter wardrobe – with it’s cumbersome coats and such things that tend more toward necessity than variety.

Still, I can’t help but be attracted to the dark passion that is Scorpio. Lucky for me, this fall has seen a slew of goth influenced style on the runways and in the magazines. From head-to-toe black to the resurgence of blood red hues, fashion has fallen into a brooding mood with a sophisticated glamour edge, which I love.

Speaking of dark and brooding, Alexander McQueen’s fall collection was chock full of the kind of shadow and drama that Scorpio likes.

But, of course, when it comes to high drama meets high styles nothing beats a Dior haute couture show.

Such things are more than a bit on the obtuse side, however, and Scorpio likes to maintain more of a mystery. Viktor and Rolf perfected the mysterious sophisticate looks in their fall 06 show.

Such characters, these two!

Indeed, much of Scorpio’s incredible allure is it’s mystery – the draw of the unknown. Skin may be hot, but nothing is hotter than being fully clothed and still sexy as hell. Surprisingly, I really enjoyed Dolce&Gabbana this fall. They wrapped the models all the way up to their chins and they look incredible.

These wicked earrings are from ShadowFly Jewelry. With their touch of black, the heart and the sword they have Scorpio written all over them.

    I WANT THOSE EARINGS! Anyway, they have my name written all over them. Speaking of which, what do you mean you have love-hate attitude for scorpians? What’s not to love??
