Faux fur vests are probably one of the hottest fashion trends of the moment. The thing is that they are also rather tricky to wear. If you are not careful, you could look like a wild hairy beast that took over the mall. Not to mention that fur vests are not the most practical way to stay warm on anything other than a mild day. Let's get the faux fur vest trend right. Here we have a lovely, chic model wearing the Quotation: Sanctuary Original Natalie Faux Fur Vest from Bloomingdales, picture left above. To the right, we have a real woman buried in one too many trends of the moment, including a faux fur vest. Our real lady in the photo

Without naming names and going runway to runway, there was a plethora of fur shown in almost every style from subtle to ostentatious, including the fluffy fox skirt shown by one household name fashion designer. I felt like I was watching reruns of 80's prime time soap operas where the characters dabbled in glutinous excess on every level, including fur.

Humor Chic

Witty, cheeky, brilliant, and VERY fashionable It's funny how the fashion flock can sometimes take themselves so seriously. Add some tongue-in-cheek insider observations and it's Humor Chic! Karl Lagerfeld and Vivienne Westwood aleXsandro Palombo (yes, the a is small, the X is a capital as is the P to represent the Latin symbols for Pax Christi) likes to think of himself as the father of fashion satire. He has just the right amount of wit and whimsy to poke a very manicured finger right back at the fashion industry and have them smile all the better for it with Humor Chic, the world's first Daily Society Portrait blog. Palombo is a global foot soldier (Prada or Dior Homme, I wonder)

Grrrrowl…. There’s a Fierce Fashion Forecast

Animal prints, furry accents, and wildlife references Lions, and tigers, and snakes, oh my! Add some instant zap to your wardrobe with your own reserve of fashion fierceness. There's nothing short of walking on the wild side with bold animal prints, maxed-out faux fur accents, and sleek black leather to pack some pow into your core wardrobe. Reptile is a bit edgier and more unexpected than classic leopard, but that's doesn't mean you need to forgo big cat patterns, simple wear them in a more modern way. A zebra pattern sweater with strong shoulders, perhaps? Or try a blast of cheetah on the wedge of a simple bootie. You can also go gaga over crocodile-print leather, perhaps a jacket this
