Velvet Obsessions For Fall 2011

Velvet has been a trend that has stayed the last few Fall seasons. It’s never been a favorite of mine, but after my Topshop leggings purchase this past weekend, I’ve decided to reconsider.

Check out my velvet obsessions for Fall 2011…

And as George Costanza would say…”I would drape myself in velvet if it were socially acceptable.” And if you’re not a Seinfeld fan, then I’ll leave you with a moment of confusion at the end of this blog post. Have a great weekend!

Spring 2012 Trend: The New Sheer Skirt

A trend I’ve come across for Spring 2012 is the sheer skirt. However, these aren’t any ordinary sheer skirts; these are more of an illusion…it’s the new sheer skirt. The look of a short dress and a long sheer skirt with intricate detailing at the hem, these are definitely show stopping pieces.

What do you think of this trend for Spring ’12? Do you think it will translate to the street or will it just be something we see on the red carpet? Let me know in the comments section below!
