I've loved fur (faux or real) for as long as I can remember....that's me in high school wearing a fur jacket!
My mother,a style maven in her own right,was the first one to introduce me to fur. I remember her getting all dressed up for a night out with my dad and topping off her outfit with a gorgeous mink coat. I couldn't wait for the day I would be able to wear fur,just like my mom.
Celebrities and stylists across the country have been embracing this look for years, only now has it become a bonafide trend. Whether you like real fur or can commit to only wearing faux...the options are endless and the price-points go from affordable to outrageous. Most department stores, chain stores and even small boutiques now carry a great selection of faux fur pieces at affordable prices. Looking for something more exclusive? Doncaster is offering several faux fur pieces in their Fall 2011 Collection. This Notched collar faux fur coat sells for $550.
Style Mavens, consider the following when shopping for fur: there's no such thing as a blue animal...if the color doesn't exist in real life, don't buy it! Also, look for the best fit...whether faux or real,too bulky can add weight and too thin looks cheap, and finally, don't go fur head to toe....wearing a fur coat, hat and boots can make you look like a creature that escaped from the zoo!
