I've Got A Crush on Velvet...

The holiday season is upon us, and so is Velvet! Ok Ok, don't think back to the velvet your mom dressed you in when you were 12 and hated. The velvet amazingness out this season is polished, sexy & very winter-friendly. Velvet this season is hot hot hot in mini dresses, mini skirts, blazers, and cute clutches. I can't possibly stress how great this material is, the way it hugs your curves is flattering but won't be hugging in all the wrong places.

Juicy makes a perfect holiday party dress in Velvet thats my person favorite.

When a trend is still in its Early Adopters phase, it tends to be found mostly in high-end designers. One thing we saw on the runway for Fall/Winter 2010 was the look of velvet tuxedo jackets for women. D&G and Alexander Wang made my two favorite because of their tailoring.

Velvet skirts & tops are also great Holiday picks. These pieces are warm, and you can layer up the velvet skirt & top with a black tuxedo blazer, some thick black tights & closed toe booties. Instant outfit, total perfection.

Ok, so what if you are not down to the whole idea of velvet everywhere, but you still want to spice things up? These velvet bow clips will add a super cute feel to a half-up do, or can be used to pin back some locks. Either way, they make a great holiday feel addition

Last and finally not least, every girls favorite accessory for a night out? The clutch! No girl can leave the house without a sexy clutch to complete the outfit. Of course Kate Spade and Alexander Wang make clutches to die for, but endless also has a more affordable option.
