Is Velvet Making a Come Back?


A while ago, I saw a girl wearing a velvet dress. She paired it with black tights and black boots, which are trending big-time right now! Not sure if velvet was making a come back or becoming a trend again, I decided I would do some research!

For 2014, velvet can be worn modernly just as that beautiful girl had styled that dress. It was a simple outfit and looked very 'fresh' and 'new.'


Below are some ways velvet dresses can be worn today! 
These dresses are so beautiful and are so very versatile. 
Other ways to wear velvet garments:
These are great for the upcoming winter to spring transition. The velvet shorts add so much and add an extra touch to that tan, light-fitted sweater. A floral blouse peaking out under the sweater just assures us all that spring is for surely on it's way! 


Boots have been a huge trend in the recent months and not just because of the autumn and winter. The versatility of them lets you add them to any outfit and shows off a twist of comfort and vintage style. Maybe try to pair a velvet boot with an outfit to add creativity. Both of the pictures above show a side of vintage style as well. 

As I see it, velvet today will not hit the fashion market widespread. Searching on internet, there wasn't much to find for modern fashion. If you feel otherwise about velvet becoming a trend again, don't be shy about commenting! If you want to wear velvet, it will provide a look of vintage style. You will have to put the outfit together yourself though with pieces as there aren't many choices for velvet these days. Making it into modern style is all on you! 
Now, for some red velvet cake...

Now you have pink hair,do you know what to wear?


Pink can be seen as girly and a lot like wearing candy floss on your head. 
I know pink hair is hard to keep looking fresh as you have to keep dying it over and over. Plus the fact you have to bleach your hair first to even get any form of pink. That can damage hair over time. 

However,
There are many pretty forms of pink hair:

Light pale Pink

Purpley Pink
Bright Pink
For pink hair, don't wear too many colour combination. Don't want to look like a clown do you?
Here are outfit ideas that might inspire you:
 If you want to know where to buy anything featured here comment on the post and I'll tell you.

I hope it help you figure out a way to make your pink hair look amazing for you.

Ever made those Daisy Chains? Now the floral crown is popular.

As a child I spent many days crafting daisy chains to wear on my head. Pretty girly thing to do however, the floral garland is a hippie trend originally. Shows you are at own with nature.


Floral crowns are now a huge hit at summer festivals which forms the appearance of a dancing fairy. 
   

I think they are really romantic. Another idea is to wear the floral crown at a wedding instead of a tiara.  You can match a bouquet and colour theme elegantly.
 This is excellent for outdoor weddings. If you're into the boho style or want to simply add a girly pop of colour to an otherwise white/ivory outfit, a floral crown is perfect for you.

Here are how a few brides wore them for their big day:



Flower girls look cute with flower garlands too. 


My three favourite looks for this nature trend:


Now I bet you are thinking these are beautiful and I'm inspired to wear one but, you don't know where to go to buy a crown.
You can in fact make one yourself. 
(Would put a tutorial up but, many are on youtube or other blogs easy to search for).
www.etsy.com is a fantastic way to get a custom crown. Helpful to order a crown to match a wedding theme or even find your favourite colour. Variety of prices so be sure to look around and don't just go for the first find. You never know a better shop might be available.

Or try one of these shops shown bellow:


I hope this inspires you to wear one of these in your hair this spring. They look amazing with long or short hair however, smaller flowers fit shorter hairstyles better due to massive flowers can cover all of your head.
