Return of the ...



You may be wondering what Dionne from  Clueless has to do with Marylin Monroe or why, on as fashion blog, is the flawless Princess Dianna in the same photo as Austin Powers. Not to worry, I have not lost my mind!! Have a second look and you will realize that each of these fashion icons are wearing velvet. If you were born anytime before the 90s I'm sure you remember this legendary fabric. I'm also sure when it disappeared from the fashion scene you thought you would never see it again. Well I hope you were nice this year because not only will you be asking Santa for a gift but you may want fashion advice from Mr. Claus as well!!
