Velvet for the Trendsetter









So I'm doing things a little differently this year. Instead of a massive gift guide, I'm going to be doing little themed posts throughout the month of December featuring gift ideas for various people in your life. Today is all about the trendsetter. This is for those fashion savvy ladies in your life who are always looking for the next best thing. Buying gifts for the trendsetter can be tricky. Because not only are they typically fairly picky about their fashion, but they often have an excessive amount already. My favorite trend of the moment is velvet - so I wanted to show you a few unique velvet pieces that are sure to please your trendsetter.

I am head over heels obsessed with this velvet body suit from my favorite little boutique, Maude. This is so great for the holidays. The color is gorgeous and the velvet makes it feel super rich and luxe. Plus it's a body suit - which makes it perfect for wearing with jeans or skirts! Bodysuits give you the "tucked in" look without all the bulk. I paired it with my favorite pair of high waisted skinnies, but I'm already planning on wearing it with a fitted skirt and tights next. It's so versatile and unique - exactly what my closet has been looking for. Sadly, it's sold out! But, Maude has another velvet body suit at the moment that is SO gorgeous. It's a beautiful champagne which is perfect for the upcoming holidays and New Years! And the good news is, that Maude also has TONS of velvet options for everyone's style. I love this velvet bomber , velvet skirt and velvet dress. All so pretty!

Happy shopping!

Velvet Love






Velvet and embroidery?! Holy jackpot! Two of my favorite trends combined. Bravo Chicwish! This is supposed to be a dress - but it's definitely more of a tunic on me (I am 5'10 though, so keep that in mind)! But it also looks adorable with leggings or tights! It's fairly heavy because of the velvet, which makes it perfect for fall and winter. The embroidery details on it are absolutely gorgeous. Definitely one of the more unique pieces in my closet.  To add even more drama, I paired it with these pink tassel earrings, and I love them together!

And I'm finally talking about some of my favorite hair products. I get so many questions! So I'm linking what I use on a daily basis down below!

Happy shopping!

Velvet Love











Velvet has been a huge trend all year long, but it's taken me a while to find the perfect velvet number. But I'm happy to say that the wait is now over friends. I introduce to you, the navy velvet wrap dress from She Inside She Inside that stole my heart. This dress is super flattering on every figure and the wrap part makes it adjustable so you're sure to get the perfect fit! It is a tinsy bit low cut, but this would look great with a black lace camisole underneath as well!

To continue with the dark color scheme, I added a dark plum lip - my favorite is the shade "backstage" from Revlon! And as always, you can never go wrong with lots and lots of jewelry.

These photos were shot by the incredible local photographer Elizabeth Williams! Check her out if you need any photos done, she is fabulous!
