Fall Faves: Faux Fur Vests

I am currently on the lookout to add a new item to my wardrobe: a faux fur vest.  I have to admit that in my quest, there have been a few real fur vests that I have admired, but I can't quite bring myself to spend the money or kill a cute little critter.  So, I have compiled a list of the best options I have found to date.  I seem to be gravitating towards the less bulky versions, my absolute favorite so far being #5.

1. Ella Moss Kennedy Faux Fur Vest - $258
2. Kensie Fur Vest - $88
3. Jack by BB Dakota Janika Vest - $69
4. Sanctuary Natalie Faux Fur Vest - $136
5. Myne Faux Fur Vest - $188

Ode to Black (and Olivia!)




































There's nothing I love more than a great black ensemble - it's chic, flattering, and easy to put together!  Black pieces are constantly reinventing themselves in different ways and this season, because of this, it's easy to make a black outfit look anything but blah by utilizing tons of textures and colors.  Nobody seems to have mastered this concept as perfectly as the one and only, Olivia Palermo.

Missed Out

So I recently discovered a pair of booties that I somehow overlooked and didn't include in my fall faves: booties post - and they're my favorites so far.  They're the Narri by Steve Madden and they come in black, brown, olive, and blue - but they'll set you back $229.95 - a little pricey for Madden.

Fall Faves: Elizabeth and James (Again!)

  
My obsession with all things Elizabeth and James is still in full force - I'm not even close to being able to afford any of their pieces and yet I can't seem to stop browsing online through their fall collection.  My absolute favorites are pictured above.

2. Mena Flats - $239 
4. Scuff Boots - $499
6. Stash Wedges - $364

ps: I bought the red Revlon lip stain from my previous post - it's terrible.  Stick with Cover Girl!

Adorable

 Rachel Bilson has always been one of my faves - she's super cute but can also be super sexy.  See above: Fashion Week street style versus red carpet formal wear

Fall Faves: Stains

 This is probably super surprising - I'm doing a teeny tiny beauty post.  I have never been one to put anything on my lips other than chap stick, but my lips are bare no longer thanks to the lip stains I have recently discovered.  As of now, I only own a pink Cover Girl stain, but I have plans to try out a bright red.
