Hi There meet our first contributing writer Laura Wise and learn how Velvet just may be your new fav this holiday season.

Prepare Your Home and Wardrobe For The Holidays With Velvet

The holiday season is only a few weeks away and we are all getting our homes and wardrobes prepared for the season. Velvet is on trend for the fall/winter season in home decor and in fashion. Adding a few velvet pieces to your life will infuse an of the moment look without having to change your total design aesthetic.

You can easily throw a few cozy velvet accent pillows on your couch or even better take a look at these velvet round back medallion chairs from Belle Escape, they scream instant glamor that would make your dining room perfectly luxurious for a New Year’s Eve party.

Gearing up your wardrobe for the holiday season early? Want to know what to look for at the Black Friday sales? If you are searching for the perfect dress to wear to your holiday party add some velvet into your wardrobe. Even if you don’t want to get full on fancy, adding some velvet booties is a great way to add juxtaposition to your distressed denim look.

You can even add velvet into your cosmetic bag with  Mac Spellbinder Shadow which leaves a crushed velvet finish on your eyes. I actually got to see this shadow in person and it delivers on its promise. You will stand out in all of the holiday pictures.

Whether you are throwing a  cozy velvet throw onto your couch or carrying a chic velvet clutch with your evening look the holidays will be here before you know it. Why not start by prepping your home and wardrobe with velvet accents.
