Velvet items to fall in love with

The trend colors for fall are pretty deep, rich colors...Think about deep red, army green and navy blue. Diggin' it, but what about the most popular material this fall and winter? Definitely velvet! Velvet is a fabric that has literally got a 90's feel to it. Wear velvet and it'll make you feel sexy, smooth (literally) and luxurious. Perhaps even a little mysterious. These are velvet items to totally fall in love with!

Velvet ankle boots
YAS, velvet ankle boots are many fashionista's latest obsession. Not only are these two examples below totally on trend color wise, also the block heel has made a comeback. 

Velvet clothes
Yes, you guessed it! Of all velvety things, velvet clothes cannot miss out on this list. Kim Kardashian and her sisters Kendall and Kylie definitely love this trend. Kim wore her velvet maxi dress with snakeskin boots, while Kendall went for a teeny tiny black velvet top. But Black Velvet doesn't have to be the standard... Just look at Kylie, rocking that baby blue oversized jacket.


Velvet phone cases
Velvet whát?! That's right: phone cases! Forget marble phone cases, those are so 3 months ago. Even though you were already inseperable from your phone, it will become like glued to your hand with a smooth,velvety phone case like these from Aliexpress.

Velvet nails

After caviar nails, surely velvet nails had to become a thing! Nailpolish brand Ciaté is known for the craziest nail products to turn your manicure into something special, so make sure to look for this brand when giving velvet nails a try!

Velvet chokers
Again a trend that Kim Kardashian started: the velvet choker. No more statement necklaces or major bling aroun our necks. This season, the velvet choker is your best friend. Not neccessarily in black, because ASOS has got a cute one in pink too...Dare to be different!

5 things in life you learn as you get older

As we get older, we all go through different stages in life... Perhaps you've come to the conclusion that you're in the middle of your quarter life crisis? Read all about the signs here. Or perhaps you just feel way more (or less!) mature than you used to a few years ago. Growing up or growing older; they can both be pretty challenging times of you life. But there are also good things about them: the great life lessons you learn along the way! Read all about them below.

1. You're responsible for your own happiness
Nobody can live your life for you. It's up to you to make the most out of it and be responsible for your own happiness! Isn't that an insanely powerfull thing to realize? YOU are in charge. Don't like the way things are going with your work, your friends or your life? You can make the change for yourself.

2. You'll make goals instead of excuses
It was always so easy to make up excuses for not doing things or not feeling responsible when we were younger, right? Excuses aren't going to get you anywhere;which you will realise as you get older. Sometimes you just gotta do things and set goals to achieve them. You always learn from the goals you accomplish.

3. You'll get over your fears
Fear is totally normal. Though, as we get older, we must let go of our fears to move up the ladder and sometimes learn things the hard way. Life is full of dificult decisions, but as we grow older (and sometimes a litte more sensible, hah!) we have less trouble facing our fears which allows us to accomplish greater things.

4. Your health is important
Remember your teenage years when you could easily go out every weekend, drink everything you want and feel totally fine the next Monday? Big change if you'd repeat a weekend like your teenage years, you'll end up feeling exhausted, sick and so-not okay to go to work. That's when you realize that after a certain age (this can be different for everyone) the choices you make about what you do in your weekends or how much or little you sleep will affect your health. #Not17anymore.

5. True friends are few. Value them.
You may have many friends when you are young but once you grow up and everyone goes their own way, that number will go down and only the true ones will remain. So cherish them. Those friends will be the friends you'll have for life.

Do you recognize the things above? And are there more things in life you have learned as you got older? Share your thoughts in the comments :)
