Go Wild With A Faux Fur Vest This Fall!

imageMy favorite boho-chic models and celebs like Kate Moss, Sienna Miller and of course Rachel Zoe have all been seen throughout the years wearing fur vests. A fur vest is a fun trendy piece to keep around to add a little punch to an otherwise boring jeans and t-shirt outfit. I’m always tempted to buy one for myself, but I’m skeptical about the vest making me look chic rather than like a bulky Eskimo. It also doesn’t help that I don’t agree with buying fur when plenty of faux fur options are available. So I got to searching for animal and cruelty-free fur vests that look like the real deal and found tons at every price point. Trust Urban Outfitters to have a super shaggy fur vest for only $88. If you’re looking to splurge, go for the Gryphon Rocker Vest with eye-catching metallic beading at the neckline. For more faux fur vests, check out my slideshow!

Recession Chic: Statement Jewelry Under $50

imageIt’s all about making a personal statement through jewelry these days. Chunky bracelets, multi-layered necklaces and huge earrings help add character and individual style to sleek outfits, but many times, these gorgeous works of wearable art cost more than we’re willing to shell out. The great thing about statement jewelry is that it’s eye-catching and highly memorable, but the downside is also how memorable it can be. Sure, you could wear your statement piece every day, and you’d certainly get your money’s worth, but people would probably begin to notice and you might get bored of the piece yourself! Check out the slideshow for our favorite standout pieces and scoop up a few to add to your outfits- at under $50 each, you can shift your thinking to style statements, not bank statements!

Hot In The Hive: Chanel Les Tissages ‘Tweed’ Blush

imageStyles and trends have been done and re-done over the years, and Chanel tweed is one of these such styles. While many others have tried to imitate, no one does it quite as well. Since it’s been established that Chanel tweed suits and clothing are second to none, they’ve taken the iconic textured fabric and transferred it to their cosmetics. Chanel has a new “tweed” blush, Les Tissages, a mixture of pink and beige tones on a palette of silky powders that help give you a naturally rosy glow all through winter and right into the summer months! It’s two shades of color intertwined to resemble the iconic Chanel tweed fabric and comes in a variety of selections so you can find one that blends to your skin tone perfectly. It’s perfect as a turn-to cosmetic for yourself, or grab an extra for a mom or sister as a pretty and practical gift for the holidays!

Price: $45.00

Hot In The Hive: Jane Iredale chocohoLICKS Lip Glosses

imageMy first foray into lip products was way back when I young enough to reach for the Bonne Bell Lip Smackers. My favorite flavor to this day is Strawberry Kiwi! But somewhere between the start of teenage angst and graduating from college, I’ve since graduated to more “mature” lip products. I still miss the flavored lip glosses of my youth though. As luck would have it, Jane Iredale has a lip product that combines 100% all natural ingredients with flavors my sweet tooth loves. The box comes with 4 lip glosses that will send any chocolate lover straight to heaven. Flavors include: Truffle, Chocolate Orange, Strawberry Cream, and Caramel. They even come packaged like a box of chocolates. Gift them to your best friends or save them for yourself. Just don’t take a spoon to them!
