Currently VERY Into Velvet...

As with most trends that involve items I remember vividly being obsessed with in the early 90's, it took me some time to warm back up to this whole velvet thing. But now that I am in it, I am IN IT. There are a few ways that I am especially embracing the lush luxe of said velvet- and a few ways that I am most definitely not. 

In the NOPE category: NO CRUSHED VELVET. I just can't.

In the YUP category: Rich jewel tones and autumn "neutrals". 

The top I am wearing was scored from Boden and in my opinion, it is the most gorgeous color.  Plus, the 3/4 length sleeves are quite flattering.

There is no material better suited to holiday party season- so add a couple velvet pieces into your life now, and feel festive all season- k? Here are 10 picks for every budget (seriously).
