The never ending trend of 'Skulls and Crosses'

Here at Recessionista HQ we love nothing more than 'gothing up' an outfit! There is nothing quite like adding a touch of grunge or gothic style to every outfit to make it your own!

This is a trend that is literally timeless and can be worked into every season! Celebs like queen Kimmy K, pop princess Katy Perry, Nicole Richie and Ri Ri wear this trend time and time again!

If you're not brave enough to go full on gothic chic then our top 15 'skull and cross' favourites is sure to help you!

Tartan Trending A/W13

I don't know about you lot but here at Recessionista HQ we are getting a wee bit excited for all things Autumn/Winter 2013! We love Summer but lets be honest there is something magical about the latter half of the year; the leaves turn golden and fall to the ground, we get to wear chunky knit dresses and jumpers, drink hot choc, steal socks from our other half (not because they're actually warmer but for some reason they make us feel more cosy), buy more scarves than we could need in a life time, plan our Halloween costumes and get prematurely excited for Christmas (as if it's ever too early)!

But, one of our most favourite things about this time of year is buying our winter wardrobe! Okay so that seems drastic, we aren't lucky enough to buy a whole new wardrobe's worth but we do like to add a couple of new pieces each year!

We've been browsing online this week and we noticed some pieces that are sure to be big trends for A/W13 so we decided to bring you ten of our must-have tartan (a.k.a plaid) pieces!
