Velvet for the Holidays

Happy Holidays!  The invites to holiday parties and phone calls to visit friends and family are starting to come, so you have to make sure you are on point from head to toe.  One thing about the holiday season is that it’s the perfect excuse to go shopping.  You have to buy gifts for others so why not treat yourself too?!  Typically you see people wearing cashmere and lace for the holidays but let’s cancel that look out completely and try something different.  During London fashion week, designers such as Christopher Kane re-introduced velvet to the fashion world.  Yup, I said it…velvet.  Believe it or not, velvet is hot, (literally cause you can break a sweat) but you know what I mean.  Velvet during the holidays is a must have and available in rich color shades that catches the attention of everyone.  It could be a blazer, jumpsuit, skirt or pant.  A perfect velvet piece to have for the holiday season is a dress.  It’s not heavy like you would think, it’s actually light and flows when you move.  While with family and friends this holiday season, make a toast to the designers for making velvet possible to wear again!
