Velvet is definitely one of the most outstanding trends for the autumn. Love the Givenchy piece!

Marissa said...

Unfortunately, this trend is going to take me a little while to get used to. All I can think of when I see velvet is shopping for dresses to where to Bar Mitzvahs as a 13-year-old in the '90s.

Oooh, I'm loving the idea of more velvet in my wardrobe. That Givenchy dress is an absolute dream!
