Faux Fur is Haute!

It's been quit some time since we've seen fur so readily available in stores.  Has years of criticism come to an end?  Maybe not quit, as we must remain conscious to animal cruelty and inhumane acts to our furry beloved's but perhaps the harm is lessor when you buy vintage.  I am by no means in support of harming animals to have a pretty coat, but I can't change the past and would like to honor what is beautiful.

My original thought to this blog was to post fashionable items that are both authentic fur and faux fur but after further reading on peta.org the acts that are placed upon the animals to obtain their coat, I can no longer support some of our great designers decision to manufacture new fur products.  Instead, I've found great high-end fur alternatives that will keep you up-to-date in your wardrobe and very guiltless.  I think you'll enjoy them as much as I do.

Sanctuary $67.99

Michael Kors $140

Sanctuary $158

Rebecca Taylor $435


Safe places to obtain your vintage and used fur products include your grandmothers closet, eBay, and local consignment shops.  Shop responsibly!

Gifts for HIM this season

It's always a little bit challenging to shop for him on his birthday or holidays but hopefully these gifts will inspire you to buy what's perfect for him.

For these winter cold months, I found the below printed sweatshirt and cardigan which can be layered with the right scarf and/or over coat.  And the below accessories are simply stand alone pieces that really don't need much embellishment to get their well deserved attention.  Don't be afraid to get a little flashy.

MEGHAN FABULOUS - HEART THIS SCARF

Lonely Hearts Scarf

Invested with Black and White Stripes

I've always been a huge fan of black and white stripes.  I think it's bold and a reflection of strength; stripes are timeless and classic which means it can stay in your closet for a long time (until you've worn the heck out of it) and wear it through all of the seasons (in most cases).

Here are our top striped picks that are in stores now!





 

  

 

Brands: Kimberly Orvitz, Michael Kors, Ella Moss, Kain Nia, Sweedish Hasbeens

The BEST Sweaters.

The BEST sweaters EVER (Ok, this season) are at Tory Burch. Just throw these on with jeans and Go, GIRLFRIEND.

Funky Tee for Funky Me

I heart this robot inspired t-shirt from Mod Cloth.  Perfect to layer with a sweater and sneakers or black sports jacket, skinny jeans and the perfect red or black heel.  I must buy.

These Boots Are Made For Walkin

And each pair featured is on sale at Shopbop! From top to Bottom: Modern Vintage, Elizabeth & James, and Lamb. Perfect with skinny jeans or a pencil skirt and tights. Every woman needs sexy black boots. Jesus said so.

Get Your Bargain On!

We're two season's past summer and all of those fabulous shirts, blouses, and tanks are officially on sale and
your'e thinking.... "no use now, it's too cold and I can't wear them."  WRONG.  Buy all of those cute items that you couldn't afford before and get them for a steal.  Use them to layer your way through winter and start beefing up your next summer collection.  If you like the items now, there's a big chance that you'll still like the items later.... just continue to modernize them with other updated pieces and accessories.

Top on sale + sweater + coat & scarf = A WINTER BARGAIN
