Fall 2009 Fashion Trends: Furry Things

You know how people often have little, out-of-character tastes that surprise you?  Well, here’s mine: 

I love fur.  LOVE.  

It’s weird because I am irritatingly responsible (even when it comes to fashion!), and fur doesn’t exactly scream “responsibility.”  But something about it makes me want to throw all those good girl instincts to the wind.  It is my personal James Dean. 

 Maybe because it looks like this: 

BGB0Y4G_mh

And this:

BGB0XCV_mh

It’s glamorous and decadent, and it’s a huge trend this year.  Luckily, those of us who love the look but feel a little squeamish about it finally have some good options.     

Consider shopping for the Origin Assured label, which signifies that a garment “comes from a country where local or national regulations or standards governing fur production are in force.”  Top designers like Oscar de la Renta and Karl Lagerfeld are applauding Origin Assured’s efforts to identify and market ethically produced fur. 

You can also go faux, which has the added benefit of being easier on the pocketbook.  Now, there’s no denying that faux fur used to look like the homely love child of a polyester fleece and a brillo pad.  But we’ve come a long way since then, and much of today’s faux is good enough to fool even the sharpest eyes.  Judge the quality by the texture.  Bad faux is weird and woolly; good faux is soft and pleasing to the touch (like the real thing).  Keep in mind: if you don’t want to run your hand across it, you won’t want to wear it, either. 

For those who only go faux, I’ve identified the pics below that show genuine fur pieces.  If it’s not specified, it’s faux.  

If you’re in the market for the hottest way to wear fur right now, go for a vest, which works well with the hippie boho look.  


Vests1

(L to R)  Development vest ($427 on sale for $194.99 at Bluefly.com), Hinge vest ($98 on sale for $64.90 at Nordstrom.com), DuMonde vest ($98 at Nordstrom.com)

Vests2

(L to R)  Juicy Couture reversible vest ($248 at Nordstrom.com), Forever Audrey vest ($54 on sale for $20.90 at Nordstrom.com)

 

Then there’s the obvious way to add this trend to your wardrobe: a jacket.  There’s many great options, everything from “red carpet” to “ski slope.”  

GlamourCoats

(L to R) Kristen Blake jacket ($128 at Nordstrom.com), Impermeable Platinum by Weatherproof coat ($138 at Nordstrom.com)

BomberJackets

(L to R)  ABS Bomber jacket ($390 on sale for $234 at Bluefly.com), GO International jacket ($79.99 on sale for $19.99 at Target.com)

SportyCoats

(L to R)  Frost-free hooded coat ($79.50 at OldNavy.com), 1 Madison quilted coat with genuine fox trim ($198 on sale for $129.90 at Nordstrom.com)

 

And if you’re just looking for a taste of this trend, consider adding accessories with fur touches. 

WorkShoes

(L to R)  AK Anne Klein Bannon5 flat ($89.95 on sale for $84.90 at Endless.com), Haircalf kitten heel ($175 at AnnTaylor.com)

BootsBanner

(L to R)  Nine West Accents boot ($199.95 on sale for $109.97 at Endless.com), Stuart Weitzman Furlong boot ($625 at Endless.com), J. Renee Jylian boot ($174.95 at Nordstrom.com)

Accessories1

(L to R)  Portolano wrap with genuine rabbit trim ($210 on sale for $75.99 at Bluefly.com), Susan Nichole satchel ($80 on sale for $44 at Endless.com)

Accessories2

Adrienne Landau scarf with genuine rabbit trim ($95 on sale for $57 at Bluefly.com), Adrienne Landau hat with genuine rabbit trim ($95 on sale for $57 at Bluefly.com)

 

And a couple of things for the petites fashionistas in your life: 

Kids

(L to R)  Sherpa jacket ($78 at Gap.com), Crocs Toddler Powder boot (39.95 at Endless.com)

 

In my fantasy world where I have unlimited cash, I’d be getting the Kristen Blake jacket, the DuMonde vest, and the Stuart Weitzman boots (since we’re talking fantasy here).  Oh, and definitely the Crocs Toddler boots.  True, they wouldn’t fit me, but they would  be beyond-precious on some 3 year olds I know…

Their standing desk and exercise chair is a GAME CHANGER!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻

Whether you have a laptop or a desktop pc, being able to adjust your desk at the push of a button and stand for a while is absolutely essential to working long hours at a computer. 

This bicycle chair is designed specifically for this desk and a great way to keep your body moving. You could also use an under desk treadmill like @superun_fitness for even more flexibility! 💃🏼

Just because you have to work at a desk all day doesn’t mean you need to be out of shape. 💪🏻🏋🏼‍♀️🤸🏻‍♀️

You don’t want to be weighed down by an oversized, clunky backpack that boasts all the bells and whistles but delivers nothing more than unnecessary muscle strain. You want a backpack that is minimal on the outside, functional on the inside, and sustainable all around. Waxed canvas is always a top choice for me!

I’m obsessed with this backpack from @hellodayowls 😍

It has that perfect boho minimalist look that I love, in the perfect color for fall. This has become my go-to handbag for autumn. 

Perfect for all our outdoor adventures, hiking in the mountains, exploring the woods with my kids, and everything motherhood throws at me! 🥾 🧗🏼‍♀️ 🌲

Can’t believe my oldest son is 13 and outside helping dad do home projects like building a new deck. 🤯 Seems like yesterday he was in his walker on this back deck and it looked a lot better 😂

Thankful that @homedepot has great prices so we could finally afford to do this home reno project! 💪🏻🎉

Somebody hold me. 😭

I asked him if he could stay 12 for one more year but he didn’t like that idea. 😒 Was worth a shot, right? 

Scroll for the outtakes 😂😂😂

This kid blows me away daily and makes me so proud to be his mom. I don’t have enough words to describe how much I love this child. 😭

Drop a comment and wish this boy a happy birthday! 🎉🎂

Luckily, there are holistic wellness products that can help make the motherhood journey easier!

Lost Empire Herbs stands out as a remarkable family venture led by three health-conscious brothers who share a profound dedication to a wholesome, active lifestyle. 

Their journey began with a modest kitchen table and the introduction of pine pollen, but it has since evolved into something truly remarkable, exceeding all expectations.😱

What truly sets Lost Empire Herbs apart is their extensive collective knowledge, derived from years of hands-on experience, unwavering commitment, and a willingness to explore new horizons. Driven by a genuine desire to enhance lives, they made a resolute decision to make the benefits of these exceptional herbs accessible to a wider audience. 

Their primary focus revolves around offering hormonal support, a vital consideration given the prevalence of endocrine-disrupting compounds in today's world, although their scope extends beyond this singular realm. 🌱 

I'm genuinely enthused about the prospect of trying out their products, eagerly anticipating the chance to personally experience the transformative effects of these wellness herbs. The brothers' evident passion and expertise have left me intrigued and eager to embark on a journey towards total wellness, guided by the offerings of Lost Empire Herbs.
