Velvety Goodness

Velvet seems to be everywhere at the moment! It's perfect for the Christmas season, very luxurious & festive! I definitely wouldn't recommend going top to toe velvet, as you could end up looking dated, but I think a velvet dress with great accessories is an absolute must this A/W.

Xtra Factor presenter Caroline Flack at the Breaking Dawn premier teaming her gorgeous Topshop playsuit with nude heels. On another note, anyone else finding her relationship with Harry Styles completely gross?!
Hayden Panettiere at the GQ XLV Super Bowl Party in the Twenty8Twelve Mia Dress. LOVE this dress!
Model/Actress Milla Jovovich looks every inch hollywood glamour in the gorgeous Prada gown at the American Museum of Natural History.

Here are some of my picks from the high street

Paprika Velvet Dress With Sequin Bow
£36
Geri Velvet Skater Dress
£20.99
Black Velvet Pinstud Body
£38
Twilight Blue Velvet Courts
£30
Suzy Smith Velvet Ruffle Party Clutch Bag
£22

What do you think of the velvet trend?

    I'm loving the trend! Have discovered that crushed velvet doesn't flatter me but normal is okay!

    Your comment on my DIY post made me chuckle! ;)

    I'm not a fan of velvet, but the first and the third dresses look amazing!
