Although I tend to wear red, green, black for the Holidays, sometimes it is nice to mix it up. I am styling teal velvet for the Holidays paired with faux leather.
There is more velvet in store! Yes, I love this fabric, especially around the Holiday season.
Velvet is one of the most luxurious fabrics that we think about around this time of year.
With Winter and it's bare, cold chill, I wanted a look with texture and a dark, romantic vibe. This outfit I called "Dark Romance" for a Valentine's Day inspiration, as the brocade, lace and velvet lends itself nicely to this style.
'Wearing white denim can be a nice change of pace in the Winter months. How do you style white jeans in the Winter?.
Hello friends!I am planning on posting Part II of my trip on Thursday this week, so please do come by and check out more of my trip to Santa Fe and Taos, more pictures! ( not to mention it also being My Refined Linkup as well)Hope you enjoyed the weekend. We went to a Hallo-wine Festival Saturday, wine tasting, food trucks, music, kid's events etc. Brought the puppies and it was a good time.I hope you enjoy Halloween tonight, if you celebrate it. Hubby, me and the pups have decided to sit outside and pass out candy. I was joking with hubby when I told him, " Now, we only give out candy to the kids with the homemade costumes, ok" None of that, " Draw-a-smile-on-a-white-sheet "Im a Ghost" -kind of costume!" Kidding. I do remember though, back in the day, when my mom made our costumes. I was a rabbit , a black cat, a monk ( and won first prize as a contest) yes, Mom sewed me a brown gown with hood, I had a white beard, and wore a rope belt, as I chanted Gregorian Chant while in a circle with the other kids. I also remember First Grade when mom used ribbed cardboard around my body, I had a black bodysuit, and used my Disney cap as the make-shift trash can lid stuck to my cap( beanie). Dad has spray painted trashcan on the body of my costume, and then I remember stapling or gluing paper cartons of milk, candy wrappers and more to my "can". It was a pretty cool costume now that I remember it.
Hello Ladies... its almost the weekend! Is this week going fast?Let's just say hubby was being "artsy-fartsy" here with the sun behind my head. I suppose one has to experiment from time to time. I just love all of the leaf colors and it was a good day to take pics. I do find that some days I just have a tough time focusing on a task at hand, as I won't get into it too much, but it has been the second time in 2 months since I have gone out for "fun". EDS can do that to me sometimes. Anyhow, two of the best things that came out of EDS was Gibson and Truffles my pups. Tell you more about them in the post, but I was in a faux leather skirt mood kind of a day. I have a few in my closet, and this one from Ann Taylor in a chocolate brown really lent itself to styling with some teal tones and soft velvet textures.
