Why Did You Wear That: Fake It Til You Make It

By Kirsten|November 7th, 2012|Why Did You Wear That?|

Two of this fall’s hottest trends are fur and leather. Just about any store you walk into or any online shop you peruse will have a plethora of fuzzy and sleek options for your winter wardrobe. And as chic as some of these styles may be, perhaps you are completely appalled by the thought of wearing the skin of another to advance your fashion forward image. Have no fear, you can still be very much on trend while ensuring that all of God’s creatures keep their coats.

Fortunately, many designers and brands are well aware of the reluctance of consumers to purchase pelts and have come up with some equally stylish faux and vegan options. (Bonus– these faux options also happen to be a whole heck of a lot cheaper). So, in honor of Joanna Krupa (who is fast becoming a fan favorite for all the Housewives), here are ten fantastically faux fall fashions:

1.Free People Call of the Wild Reversible Faux Fur Vest, $168, 2. KARL Jane Metallic Faux Leather Jacket, $290, 3. DKNY Faux Fur Vest, $295, 4.

Why Did You Wear That: Black and White and Anything but Boring

By Kirsten|August 6th, 2012|Celebrity Style, Look for Less, Why Did You Wear That?|

I have collected quite a bit of clothing during my time on this planet, and while I do have pops of pink and pretty patterns, I always seem to be drawn back to the basics of black or white. Safe? Maybe. I prefer to call it classic, contemporary, even minimalistic. Pairing black and white might seem obvious or boring, but if done with well tailored interesting pieces, it is anything but your average cater waiter uniform. Incorporating different textures like lace, leather, satin, or chiffon, will take your look from flat to fully dimensional. Trust me, no one will mistake you for the hostess at your local Olive Garden.
