Velvet

Now I love Velvet, I bust out the velvet dress every christmas. Once Ive got it on I know that Christmas is only round the corner. However not very many people share my love for velvet and I cannot for the life of me understand.
Especially where there are velvet beauties like this:

I think I might have let out an internal squeal when I saw this in Look magazine. How beautiful is that statement shoulder? It goes perfectly with her hair and the pale skin really sets it off. It just screams Christmas party at me! I think its the best dress i've ever seen Nicola Roberts wear and she always looks stunning. I have no idea where it is from, any ideas? I need to know if it is within my budget!

French Connection - £95

Asos - £12 (Im in love with crushed velvet!)

Asos - £6 (Id feel like Lady Gaga!)

I've handed all my work in now so I can now relax until the New Year and look forward to my work experience at Nuts! Magazine at the end of next month. Im rather excited about that. Ill be working right next to the Tate and will be able to go to Borough Market in my lunch hour so life will be good!

  1. wow, amazing work experience? What course are you doing? I have to admit I'm one of those who hates velvet. I don't know why, I used to wear velvet when I was younger, but now. No no x

  3. I love velvet too, and Nicola Roberts always looks amazing! So much better these days than when she was all fake tan and bleached hair. Thanks for your kind comments on my blog - I'm so relieved to learn I'm not the only one to have never used foundation!
