Brocade with love

This week is all about love and as I said before, I am in love with brocade! I love brocade’s incredible ornate detailing, the audacious color combinations, and unique fabrics.  Brocade is like elaborately decorated armor that helps you dazzle your way through the day and when it comes to brocade the bolder the better, which makes me love it even more! I love mixing prints and highly recommend this with brocade, but if you are feeling a little timid pair brocade with a neutral color and of course, always mix textures!

Brocade with love

This Valentine’s Day (like all other Valentine’s Days) I will be rocking the red.  As I’m sure you have noticed by now, I love getting dressed up for special occasions (and really everything in between) and Valentine’s Day is no exception.  This V-day I am rocking a long sleeve fitted brocade dress in red and black.  Brocade is one of my favorite trends and is so incredible, 1) because it has the ability to give the illusion of the perfect figure and 2) because the workmanship is so intricate and delicate there is no way not to fall in love.  So this Valentine’s Day embrace the red and throw on a dress that makes you feel unstoppable and take the day by storm.
