I Dream of Velvet

Nothing says luxury like velvet, so a velvet dress is the perfect way to bring some luxe into the everyday. I have my eye on the Velvet Peterpan Collar Dress from TopShop and am hoping it will go on sale in time for the holidays. Perhaps I risk looking like a twelve-year-old in this dress (in fact, I'm pretty sure I owned this dress when I was twelve), but I think lace tights and high heeled shoes would make the look more age appropriate.

Maxi Dresses

Since I'm petite, I tend to avoid wearing maxi dresses, but these dresses from Topshop make me want to reconsider. If The Great Gatsby was set in 2010, Daisy would be sure to have a closet full of these fabulous maxi dresses.

I Heart These

Topshop has the most adorable flats for sale called the Valley Triple Bow Flat Shoe. I love the bows! They sort of remind me of these shoes by Chloe.
