Fall Fashion Trend – Faux Fur
October 2nd, 2010 § 2 Comments
Looking through pictures of Fashion Week today, I’m noticing a huge emphasis on fur. I’m not a big fan of real fur at all. The good news is that some designers are not only fashion forward, they also have a cruelty free conscience. Seeing this trend able to carry through Fall and Winter, I’m willing to bet you’ll be seeing a lot more “fur” to come. These Handmade artisans feature faux fur in their work.

Cargoh

For those of you haven’t heard of it, Cargoh is a curated venue for artists and designers. They have pretty straight forward guidelines – pretty pictures and a fabulous design aesthetic. The result is a stunning group of handmade work.
Not only is Cargoh a marketplace, it’s heavily tied into Social Media. You can log in using your Facebook and pull your picture directly from it. It feels like a new, fresh and oh-so-more-artistic Etsy. You can sign up for an account pretty easily but to become a seller, you must submit your work and bio. I personally love this as my one complaint with the other online marketplaces is the over abundance of sellers.
Here are a few lovelies I found using Cargoh’s awesome search options.

Trends – Boots (Always My Favorite)
September 13th, 2010 § 3 Comments
Every year as summer begins to fade and Fall begins its beautiful journey to me, I get excited. It’s my favorite season for so many reasons. Halloween, leaves turning gorgeous shades of reds, oranges, yellows and greens, cooler weather and autumnal scents filling the air. However, one thing usually gets me amped more than anything else…Fall clothes and shoes! I love layering…tights and skirts, boots with tall socks, sweaters, scarves…the list is endless. My all time favorite for fall is a killer pair of boots. I had suede slouch boots in 7th grade (thanks to my Mom who I now realize was fashion forward) and lace up Victorian boots in High School. College was more of a Doc Marten time and now I’m drooling over black, leather motorcycle boots. No matter where you live, no matter what size you are, this is one fashion “trend” you must own. I even hesitate to call it a “trend” since a great pair of boots will always serve you well.Here are a few great boots and things to wear with boots. I love the “rocker” style, the “biker” style and the “postapocalyptic” style.
