Velvet, that eternal fabric of ultimate opulence and hyperbole. Velvet dreams. Velvet clothing. Wearing velvet clothing of velvet dreams. Velvet is incredibly popular this season, as it tends to be in all seasons, except particularly hot ones where you want to go swimming a lot.

Lady Gaga Brings Back The Bustle Skirt
When Lady Gaga burst on the scene and started raking at our eyes with her wonderful outfits, Lady Gaga quickly established herself as more than just another disposable pop singer. Lady Gaga is a style icon, or she’d at least like to be seen that way, and I see no real reason to disabuse her of the notion.

Running the gamut from short little mini pleated skirts to more demure knee length creations, the pleated skirt is seeing quite a style make over. Indeed, I need not fear being guilty of exaggeration when I say that the new pleated skirts are like no pleated skirts you’ve seen before.

Once in a while, a fashion trend comes along that doesn’t activate my auto-scoffing response and trigger a plethora of snarky jabs. The maxi skirt is one of those trends. Stylish, elegant and feminine in a way that doesn’t make one mourn for the trashy state of the world, maxi skirts are long, flowing skirts that take their inspiration from this year’s hottest trend, the maxi dress.
