OOTD: Crushed Velvet

Still can't believe summer is over! I have made a vow to myself that by the age of 30 I will live somewhere that is hot all year round! Chilly weather is for the birds, and even they migrate south (pun fully intended). So since I'm stuck in the great white north, I'm going to have to stay warm. This fall, I have fallen (I am on a rolllll) in love with crushed velvet. Crushed velvet has a more lustrous appearance than regular velvet which I think gives the material much more personality. It feels very nice to the touch, and can be easily dressed up or down to suit any look you're going for. And did I mention this baby will keep you nice and warm this coming season?

Simple, not so LBD (Little Black Dress)

Hey peeps! So, I find that I enjoy wearing dresses in the summer...a lot. But who doesn't? They're essentially complete outfits with the option to accessorize, soooo convenient lol. With that being said, I found this dress while thrifting and it didn't feel right leaving it in the store. I so fell in love it's perfect fit and little train at the back. I love that it's an sightly edgier take on the classic Little Black Dress (LBD). 

Oh also, when bored...in the house...all summer, why not make something! Been dying to try my hand at making a DIY Flower crown, so pictured is my first attempt.
