I love the steampunk fashions, but I'm easy for old clothes, so. :p And there are tons of steampunk novels. Especially now that the market's going mainstream with them. (There is some debate about what should and shouldn't be classified as steampunk, but publishers will market what they want to market and how they want to market it, so there's not really a gatekeeper making sure things are correctly labeled.) The seminal steampunk work is considered to be The Difference Engine, by William Gibson and Bruce Sterling. I would also highly recommend Cherie Priest's novels and short stories, which are actually American west steampunk.

As for anime, I haven't seen Exile Saga, but I love both Fullmetal Alchemist and Ergo Proxy. Ergo Proxy is more of a cyberpunk setting, but it has a lot of steampunk elements as one of the characters is living between domes.
