My velvet crush

It would seem that this crush of mine has snuck up on me; I never imagined myself falling for the "too good not to stroke" fabric. It doesn't help that my crush has been subject to usage by my Mecca, Topshop! It's been used on many a dresses, bags and a whole bucket load of shoes. Everyone of them I just can't help but stroke. Velvet; why are you so smooth?!

I suppose, on the run up to Christmas, an overdose of velvet isn't really a bad thing. Unless of course it's dark green or red...nobody wants to blend in with the Christmas tree! But, a little bit of purple, or black, or even hot pink makes for a perfect touch of luxury.

And so, without looking like a curtain from the 16th century, I will embrace this crush and get as much velvet in my wardrobe as possible. And then sit at lust over it's beauty.
