10 Questions to Ask Yourself Before Having Kids
I know, I know. I'm a mass of contradictions.
Just yesterday, I told you how much I hate faux fur- and I do.
However, I'm willing to bend that rule in the case of the faux fur leopard coat. This photo is the reason why.
It's from Garnet Hill and it's a not-entirely-out-of-the-question-if-we-have-Hamburger-Helper-for-a-week $188.
And I really, really want it!
And looking at it in the catalog, I was reminded that I instructed all of you to buy a leopard coat at the end of last winter, because I swore it would be a fabulous buy for this season.
WHY DIDN'T I LISTEN TO MY OWN ADVICE?!
I am now leopard coat free and willing to eat Hamburger Helper in order to have one.
Let's look for some more cute and affordable leopard coats that are available right this very moment, shall we?
I'm also loving this leopard vintage faux fur coat (Topshop, $190). If you wear a lot of black like I do, a leopard coat is a great way to shake things up and look really of-the-moment.
If traditional leopard print is too vibrant for you, you might opt for the lovely muted tone of this cropped faux fur leopard coat (Topshop, $170). I LOVE IT.
I'm also smitten with this velvet blazer (Boden, $98), which is another way to wear the trend without feeling too "showy."
This Adrian Landau leopard printed rabbit fur vest (Bluefly, $237) is pricier, but it's real fur, so you get what you pay for.
Finally, don't forget Etsy! This vintage coat (Kerosene Kristen, $70) is in excellent condition and at $70, it's a steal!
What do you think of faux leopard coats? Would you wear one this season?

Love, love, love the Boden jacket. Boden Rocks! I think that's about as far as I'd go on this trend. I think the Garnet Hill coat is pretty but I'm NOT willing to eat Hamburger Helper for it. :)
LOL. I'm a little giddy with the fall fashion right now. It's my FAVORITE season for clothes, and it's been a lonnnng, hot summer. :D
I do like a lot of the fall fashions this year, and I'm excited about them too. Not sure if it has as much to do with the fashions or the fact that I was pregnant last fall and didn't buy many new clothes since it was my second and last pregnancy. Plus, I had weight to lose this spring so I didn't buy too much. Finally about where I want to be and excited about cute clothes and boots.
Short story, long...I like so many things you've featured! And, I bought pair of boots from deLia's that arrived today. Black suede cowboy-ish. Love.
Yay! Glad to hear it! I was where you are not so long ago. It's amazing what knowing what's "in" does for your psyche when you're out shopping- whether you're at TJ Maxx or Henri Bendel! :)
I usually could give a rats patootie about fashion but reading your blog has me all excited lol!! I can't wait to buy a pair of boots for fall (if my hubby decides that it's okay to bend the budget for my happiness!) I'm also planning on trying on a pair of skinny jeans, doesn't mean I'll buy them but it never hurts to try!
I don't like them...no I wouldn't be wearing any....probably ever.
I do not like any kind of fur fake or not
