Ooh, Anna Sui and Emporio Armani are so lovely. But that James Coviello hat is calling my name! Love the noir ambiance of it! :)

Loving all the velvet! I actually really like it incorporated into a pair of shoes. So fab!
Hi CC,
Great post! I love velvet shoes and bags but velvet dresses aren't my style...much rather...the suede leather. :-)
Velvet is very luxurious, I like it on details!

velvet is perfect for fall! It keeps you warm, but still keeps your stylish!
I love velvet, but it's so easy to end up looking like a comfy cushion when you're wearing it! A pair of gloves or a scarf is a far as I will go!
Lovely images, though! xoxo
I own 2 velvet dresses. Wondering how I can tone them down a bit. Maybe put a jacket over them. thinking.....
see I love velvet. It makes me feel regal ;)
Oh darling! I love velvet, it's such a rich and beautiful material:) You reminded me of the velvet dress hanging in my closet, I think it needs some wear!
Loving ALL the shoes!!
Have a wonderful day Carrie!!

The velvet looks amazing! I need to add some pieces to my closet for Fall & Winter.
I adore velvet for autumn/winter! I mostly love it in accessories.

I would love to have velvet shoes darling!...adore this fabric even for interior design! xo*
FABULOUS POST CC!!! Such a beautiful layout!
Wow. These are all so stunning. I love them all. I adore the velvet.
Something SO romantic and baroque about velvet in dark autumn shades!
I adore the velvet trend-the shoes are so lovely...
Well this is for me, sure ! ;D
Of course red velvet, but I also like lack or white one, edgy and more dramatic !
Fantastic post !!
Those Zac Posen velvet heels are gorgeous. I would love to have a pair of those...
I love velvet. I'm craving that Sonia Rykiel sequined blazer! stunning, darling! xo

I love velvet...it is timeless, I have a few velvet pieces that I wear year after year!
hi carrie! how are you?
love velvet in moderation. it needs to be just the trimming on an outfit or an accessory. makes the outfit look very luxurious.
So many lovely, lovely things. :)
Isn't the Anna Sui beautiful..
The Aquilano e Rimondi is rather chic! And the Zac Posen shoes are just gorgeous! And those clutches, lovely, lovely indeed.
You have fashion knowledge like an encylopedia my dear, in the very best way. I love your posts.
Florrie x
Love the idea of velvet shoes or handbag especially. So glam and luxe.
I am glad velvet is back and chic- not like the 80s velvet haha.
Love the Isaac pumps!
I own some velvet shoes. I love your photos! Those black and red-black shoes are very beautiful.
xoxo
i am loving the dvf embellished velvet dress, it is so eyecatching and sumptuous. i also love all of the velvet shoes, especially lanvin's tweed and velvet one with the bow.
I am not a big velvet fan but that Herve Leger skirt is fantabulous!
DVF is not usually my favorite, but I adore that dress you posted!
Btw, I love this trend

I looove velvet! Especially my velvet leggings, they're my favs! I'd like a grey pair too... And a dress with velvet...
xoxox
velvet is so classy and sexy! love this post, darling!

i love Velvets, the touch of it makes me feel heaven!! As usual... i love the Shoes!
I'm loving leather and sequins and velvet this winter...I love how different they all are. those textures...mmmm
it needs to to hurry up and get cold. i am getting so many outfit ideas for the cold weather, but it is still 70 and 80 degrees.
No Velvet Underground here. Sorry for the Lou Reed joke.
I do love a little velvet. There was one suit featured in your photos that I was sure was Prada. Whoever made it I love it.
xoxo
Good topic! I have been wondering about a velvet dress or blazer =)

Haha I was just talking with my sister about the 90's (she dresses like she's in the late 80's still, she's 44) and wondering when velour will come back in!
Love Lanvin pumps! So beautiful.
P.S. I am tagging you tonight, darling. Something easy and fun. :)

I was about to leave a comment to the effect of "I don't own anything in velvet" when I suddenly remembered a pair of pointy-toed black-and-white tweed RALPH by Ralph Lauren flats I own with black velvet bows on the toes. Got to remember to wear them. ;-)
love the Isaac Mizrahi two-tone velvet pumps
i like velvet, it's vintage!, comfortable and suit well.
Nice photos, especially of Anna Sui.
Marc Jacobs handbag is so cute, black with pink ;)

Awesome and inspiring pics as always!! Every time I read your posts I want to DIY, So many devine ideas!! Have a lovely day!
xxx : )
Fabolous, forever so original!
xoxo
I love the accents with the velvet. I am not a huge fan of all over velvet but small bits are really cute. :)
I think it's absolutely beautiful...but i'll let it remain on others. Fabulous post with pretty pictures ♥
Oh, i better go and get some velvet in my closet. I have nothing! Love the orange shoes with stones. Amazing!
xoxo

Velvet is so classic!
loving the shoes in this post xxxxxx
velvet is so luxurious for fall. all the emporio pieces are great this season. : )
I'm quite glad I can release my velvet trousers again!
velvet is such an interesting kind of fabric...thick and delicate at the same time. Usually it's either in fashion or it's not. You've made it clear it's sneaking back in right now;)
Ah! Velvet - soooo opulent!! Love the velvet shoes best - all of them!!
LOVE the black Gianfranco Ferre dress!!!
xx
Aww i love all of these cute heels. They would be perfect for a date night or dinner out :)
CC, you realize you just gave me the green light to wear velvet right? :) But ok, I will avoid the head-to-toe look (ala George Constanza), but I will definitely be on the look out now. *bises*
Umm. Can I just tell you how obsessed I ma with velvet at the moment. I am crazy about that dvf dress but so sad it is old out:/ And love all the velevt miu miu pieces this season. Lovely post! xx b
That purple and red bag is so lush.
love it! those runway looks are gorgeous!! i also really like the velvet clutches, kind of remind me of pillows. :)
I adore velvet piping! Esp on jackets and handbags! Beautiful
Love velvet, touches of it are just so chic, and remind me a bit of Blair Waldorf!
Those orange velvet pumps, the sequined blazer, and the D&G look all make my heart flutter. This is a fantastic compilation of velvety goodness!
Those bronze velvet shoes are pretty amazing!
OMG, that Wang jacket is absolutely amazing!
Love these pics, I need to incorporate more velvet into my outfits
discussions of velvet always remind me of a Seinfeld episode where George moves in with a woman with a velvet sofa, only to find out it belonged to the roommate. but i was eyeing a velvet blazer today...
I'm totally loving velvet for fall! Why do I not have any?
I am so into velvet! It's so chic! Bought myself a velvet(look) jacket last month!
Love, Suusje
The shoes, the bags ... I love everything !

the spotted tights are perfect!
shoes with velvet? yes please!
I think velvet is very hard to wear but I think it looks great on the runway. I love the pieces by Emporio Armani. Awesome post, Carrie!
I'm loving velvet right now. And kind of wishing I had kept all my velvet pieces from the nineties!
I think velvet can be very tasteful. I like the shoes you posted.
