Whether it is real or faux, fur trim is back and it is fierce. Not only on jackets, it is showing up on handbags, scarves, vests, sweaters, tops, hats, gloves, belts and boots. The only thing I have not seen them on is swimwear. But I’m sure it is only a matter of time.
A Little Will Do
Everyone seems to be getting in on the trend but be sure not to take it to the extreme. You only need a few items in your wardrobe to take advantage of this fashion trend. And please, do not have to wear them all at once.

New Faux or Vintage Recycle
Are you experimenting with some new faux fur trim this season? Or do you have something vintage that has been hibernating in the back of your (or someone else’s) closet?
For most retailers the holiday season will involve a little bit of red, and a little bit of black and a little bit of sparkle. Take a look at the behind the scenes footage of how Lane Bryant is presenting their latest pieces. I especially like the accented cardigans and oh-so-many accessories. *** Topic Links…
