Top Velvet Fashion Trends for 2018

View fullsize

Happy New Year my LOVEs!!!! Hope your new fresh year has kicked off so awesomely!!
I still have some of the looks left that I haven't had a chance to share from last year but better late than never right? I am also so excited to shoot a new content with a new photographer soon! Stay tuned for that! 
On today's post, I'd love to talk about one of the major trends that is still going to have the huge  moment this winter!!

Velvet is hot this season, as you may have already known. From accessories to dresses to velvet trimmings, you will see them everywhere now. Fashion designers and major retailers have been showcasing velvet prominently.
You will find fancy blazers, straight skirts, structured dresses and more made from velvet, giving the fabric a completely new look. It’s not just the classic blue anymore. There are lots of rich colors, and styles to select from this year. 

The velvet trend is so strong in 2017 that it seems, the talk about this luxurious fabric isn’t going to fade off anytime soon.

Velvet, known for its physical properties and stunning looks, has always been a hit with the nobility. However, the fabric went out of style a few years back. It’s back with a bang now. Its soft drape, natural sheen and durability, has made the velvet fashion fabric popular once again.

Here are some of the biggest velvet fashion trends of this year. Check them out.

▷▷▷ All Velvet Dresses

The all velvet outfit is one of my most favorite looks.
You will find this in a shirt and pant with a jacket on top and even a gown that you can wear like what you see in this picture. The gown is certainly very elegant, and has been a top draw at runways this year. There are velvet dresses for every occasion, of course.
For instance, you can wear the perfect Armani to dress formal, or go casual with a Valentino. There are velvet party dresses too that will be the talk of the town this holiday season.

▷▷▷ Patterned Velvet

Thanks to Roberto Cavalli, Ralph Lauren, and others, we are seeing a huge variety in patterned velvet.
On surface patterns like pre-pleats, burnt out and embossed textures are making the fabric look more stunning than ever before. You can wear this trend on pants, dresses, suits, to make your velvet look even more beautiful.

▷▷▷Colored Velvet Outfits

This is probably my most favorite of all velvet fashion trends. 
Blue has been the traditional color of velvet for ages. That has changed now, with the emergence of virtually every color in the spectrum. There are pink, bright red, yellow, maroon, gold, metallic colors, and of course, blue is still ruling.

Color has been mixed as well in many new combinations. Red is mixed with black, burgundy, and brown to create visually appealing combos. I have also seen girls wearing brown or burgundy fur collars with red velvet outfits.

▷▷▷ Velvet Mix and Match

There are other options for you, if the all-velvet look isn’t your style.
Statement velvet pieces are being mixed and matched with different materials for unique looks. In fact, this year we have seen a lot of successful experiments in this. The pairing with other fabrics - such as lace, patent, faux fur, and shearing - is creating balanced outfits that are looking stunning. The trick is to have just the right velvet amount in the outfit.

For instance, velvet is looking absolutely chic with a jacket and t-shirt. Combine a pair of velvet jeans with a leather jacket is something you can easily style this hot trend!

▷▷▷ Accents and Accessories

You can wear velvet in many minimal ways too in your hats, gloves, stockings, and even jewelry, if your style is more towards to a minimalistic. I have seen girls patch up velvet on the hem of their cape coats and in their scarves as well. The most effortless and chic way to incorporate velvet items could be shoes such as booties - just swap your go-to black pair for velvet one, then your look is freshly upgraded!

Hi LOVEs!!!! Hope your week has been going amazing so far!!!! 

I hope you liked my NYFW inspired look from the last post! As Fashion Week is around the corner, I always love gathering a lot of inspiration from everywhere!! I mostly use my

Pinterest

and

Tumblr

-  there are tons of great sources to find great inspirations, you know? Too bad I won't be able to physically go there, but it's really fun to get inspired and imagine what I would be rocking there! Then, I realized that I was really drawn to anything with mini bags at the moment because they are chicest and surprisingly so practical - you just need your phone, a credit card, a few lipsticks, and a mirror. I used to love the big bag that I can put everything, even my laptop and a few books in! But do you really think the bigger, the better? Well, I think it's time to take a break from your favorite it-tote and swap it for a fun-sized mini bag!!! 

I really adore classic black mini bags, yet the ones in a bold hue and playful print would be a lot better as a perfect head-turner piece! 

I bet you already have at least one pretty mini bag, but I picked a bunch of lovely mini bags that you would love as much as the current one! I can't wait for get mine soon 'cuz I only have a few! 

Happy hump day, my sweeties!

Inspiration :: Dream Office

Starting off a new week by beating the Monday Blues with the amazing office inspiration.

Hi LOVEs! How was your weekend?

Here in Seattle, the weather has been awfully bad, so I didn't plan anything fun for my weekend although some of my friends went to watch the Seahawks game! I had a lot of fun at the new Hello Kitty Exhibition at EMP last Friday so that was enough! Looks like this horrible weather will continue through this whole week (eeek! ) so it's time for me to figure out how to enjoy these dull days! haha

Though I said, I didn't do anything amusing during the weekend, I got inspired by looking through office inspiration on

Pinterest

, so why don't I share them with you guys! Just like life needs some fresh change, it would be fun to do something different here on the post! I hope you are inspired already by checking out those dream office images above! Maybe I should taking advantage of being stuck at home as making a new office space, or brainstorming it at least! Need more inspiration? Follow my

Pinterest

board! 

I also picked a bunch of home decors and furniture that could help elevate your home office or even a little corner of your desk! Happy shopping!

Have a happy & productive Monday, Angles!

Sunday Inspiration // Silver Hair

I am so addicted to this hair color. Super fresh, innovative, and truly unique.  Totally alluring.  

Sources: Pinterest // Tumblr

Hi LOVEs! Happy Sunday!

Are you a sucker for colored hair like I am? I am the type of girl who easily tires of the same hair style and color. If you've watched me for a while you probably noticed that I am always reinventing myself by switching colors or living life on the edge with a crazy hairstyle, like when I shaved the side of my head. Sounds crazy, huh? But it's fun and an awesome way to discover a previously hidden you.

Of all the beautiful hair color options out there, I can't help but fall in love with silver/gray hair of late. It's usually a look for gracefully aged people, but what if you can't wait for your hair to naturally grow silver?

I am so stoked to dye my hair this oh-so lovely color next week! Interested in how my hair will turn out? Stay updated on

Hope you enjoy this Sunday inspiration!

Fashion Week Is Around The Corner, What Will You Wear?

Tons of fashion lovers have been more than excited for what's gonna happen in the next few weeks!

That's right!!!! Fashion week will soon begin!!!

Just as some background, September is the month when many cities feature a fashion week to introduce the next seasons' clothing lines. You can find out when fashion week is held at the most famous locations

HERE

!

 NYFW is one of the most famous fashion events, not to mention FW in Miran and Paris. Everyone is just dying to attend, including me!! Unfortunately I can't go to NYFW this year.. It's a bummer for sure, but I will be definitely going in the next few years! Although I am not able to attend NYFW, I was privately invited to the

Nolcha Fashion Week

happening in Seattle, and I will be there for sure! They will be showcasing the best in global independent fashion design, featuring over 30 designers including: womenswear, menswear, eco, swimwear and accessories! Also, there will be a media brunch the next day! It's a great opportunity for me to connect with new peers and colleagues!

 The last time I went to a fashion show was some time ago, and it was not the best experience. Therefore, I am extremely thrilled about going to this one! Plus, this will be pretty exclusive and legit, as they only accommodate only press, media, bloggers, retailers, buyers and stylists for their shows. I just know that this show will give me some pleasant experience, and I am really looking forward to meeting a ton of new people at the media brunch!!!!! 

Now I have to decide what I should wear for the shows and at brunch...  I've been researching for the trends and hot pieces, yet I am having so much trouble deciding what to wear. Have you ever been in a similar situation?

 So I thought that I could gather some inspiration from the fashionsitas of the world. Looking at their fashion/style can help me put together some stylish options of my own, and I found a lot of great, unique, stylish, refined, and fashion-forward outfit inspirations from everywhere. I pinned them on

my pinterest

.

So here are 20 inspiring photos that I really adored and I wanted to share with you guys! 

Hopefully you'll get some inspiration from them because I sure did! There are

on my pinterest

so please check it out!

Oh, I'd like to know what you are going to wear during your fashion week, so please share it with me by leaving me a comment below!

I hope you'll have a lot of fun at whichever fashion show you are going to!
