I had a blast at the 4th of July Stadiumred pool party! It was great to experience such a fun crowd and see so many people excited and interested in Velvet. I spent a few moments meeting Dina Lohan…really nice person…Very sweet and she looked great in the Velvet “Joie”. Thanks Dina and thanks Janine Just and Stadiumred for a fantastic event.- Cindy Hussey, Founder Velvet.

Ask Velvet: Seaside Accessories

Q: Hi Velvet! What are some of your favorite accessories to wear in the summer?  Talia P. from Bethlehem, Pennsylvania
A: During the summer, we love seeing a vibrant mix of beach-inspired accessories even if you’re not at the beach! You can find many beach-inspired accessories from earrings, to bracelets, to rings and necklaces. When looking for the perfect beach accessory, look for it in white, cream, turquoise and gold. We also love hints of red in a beach-inspired jewelry piece that looks like bits of coral. These colors scream beach-wear and have a tendency to match beautifully with a flowy-white summer outfit. Look for your beach-inspired accessories with mini-starfish, pearlescent beads, small sand dollars, little sea horses and plenty of turquoise chips.

 

Ask Velvet: The Perfect Weekend Outfit

Q: What’s your idea of a perfect summer weekend outfit?  – Liz from Austin, TX
A: The weekend is all about errands, lunch dates with friends and feeling comfortable for two days while you’re away from the office. For that reason, we love weekend outfits that are relaxed, stylist and low-key. The weekend is all about casual dressing and that is why wearing a long maxi skirt or dress is our idea of the perfect weekend outfit. A maxi dress is comfortable and breezy and can be worn anywhere from the beach to the city. This outfit can also easily transition with ease from comfortable day-wear to the perfect date-night outfit by adding a few beaded accessories, a belt and a jacket. It’s the take-anywhere outfit that is stylist and perfect for any summer outing!
