Seven Stylish Faux Fur Coat

I absolutely love the classic style of Margot in the Royal Tenenbaums, more specifically, her fur coat and Kelly bag, although in this picture she is actually holding a Birkin.  As much as I love the allure of a fur coat, I have a conscious which I try to feed every day on mostly good stuff, so a real fur coat is not an option for me.  Full disclosure, I have a vintage fur vest that I purchased more than ten years ago from a Sunday flea market in the streets of New York City.  Ten years later and I’m thinking of a faux fur coat which in some cases can provide the allure and classic style of a real fur coat without making you feel guilty.

While looking for one that looks as realistic as possible, I found this one.  For a more glamorous and colorful version of a faux fur coat, an oversized one will do just fine.  A faux fur coat with the name teddy in it is pretty adorable.  A leopard-print faux fur coat for the very brave ones.  A very chic chocolate color one for a glamorous night.  A short light pink one for the day.  And finally a black one for the days when we only want to wear black.

button-front skirt 1

Button-front skirt is the chicest clothing piece at the moment.  Perhaps it’s the retro vibe that speaks to the 70’s fashion-obsessed inside me or the fact that almost every fashion brand has produced one within the past year.  From classic mini skirts by Balmain with its recognizable front buttons to the below the knee checked midi skirt with transparent buttons by Balenciaga this Fall, the button-front skirt will give you that polished architectural look we all want sometimes.  It’s a fact that button-front skirts are not coming in denim fabric anymore; instead, they come in all kinds of materials and textures that gives us the freedom to use them any time of the year.

Don’t think that ankle boots are ever going away.  Ankle boots are as we speak already a classic shoe and a closet staple for every woman.  Regardless of our age, we all want to look our best; some follow fashion, others don’t.  However, passion for footwear is one common thread among women and booties is on the top of the list for many.  Ankle boots are versatile, easy to wear and on occasions, elegant as well.  I’ve seen some fashion writers refer to this chic footwear as the ultimate MVP and I have to say, completely agree.

Sweater Weather, sweaters under 300

Sweater Roundup, sweaters under 300

It’s Sweater Roundup time, and it’s time to start thinking about what sweaters to add to our winter clothes repertoire.  In this roundup of sweaters, we are suggesting various styles from oversized chunky ones to classic turtlenecks to striped pullovers because we should all have options when it comes to dressing, right?  Sweaters are to me in cold weather what dresses are to me in Summer; they facilitate getting dress better than any other piece in our wardrobes.  Nothing makes my morning routine easier when getting ready to take my son to school, than putting on a sweater over skinny jeans.  It’s a no-brainer, stylish and comfortable.  I pair the outfit with an ankle boot for Fall and voila!  BTW, a couple of these sweaters from last year are on sale now.

transitional wardobe from summer to fall

Transitioning your Summer wardrobe into Fall is a bit overwhelming because frankly who wants to let go of our favorite comfortable and relaxed Summer dressing.  Fall has tricky weather; some days may be chilly inviting you to cozy up in a chunky sweater while others may still bring some heat with them and all we feel like doing is stay under the AC.  The crisp cool Fall weather doesn’t call for tons of layer of heavy wool and fake fur yet, but we can’t solely wear the oh-so-light soft summer outfits either.  With this unpredictable kind of weather, it’s crucial to keep the right transitional fashion pieces in our wardrobe to help us transition into Fall weather smoothly.

When it comes to Summer-to-Fall transition pieces, one keynote to keep in mind is to keep those transitional Fall items of lightweight fabric in an Autumn color palette.  With the right clothes to keep us comfortable, we can start enjoying all Autumn has to offer, the fall foliage, the pumpkin spice latte, and the crisp air.  So before you begin filing away your summer pieces, set your midi skirts and maxi dresses items aside, you’ll still need them.  We can’t be more excited about this year’s Fall fashion trends.
