plush velvet...

the look of richness...sensual...and luminous...and while most think of velvet in black...velvet in color is quite stunning...it is a piece that could truly enhance your wardrobe...and the ideas?  well...they are limitless...whether you opt for a good tailored velvet blazer...which...by the way...can be worn with jeans and a t-shirt...and look well put together...or go all out glam in a velvet cocktail dress...velvet plushness is a must...

if you are adventurous...go for a sleek sexy pair of skinny jeans...in velvet...the black floral print on these is so unexpected...feminine...yet tough...the best of both worlds...
