The Hunt

I've become obsessed with finding the PERFECT Cheetah or Leopard print coat** this year (faux fur only, please). I'd like a classic chubbie style (yah, that's the technical term). Short + swingy. A big collar would be nice. Oh, and a vintage bargain is the dream.

Kate Spade's version has a great bow on the back:


Shopping at Buckle would make me feel like a teen-- but the price is right:


Etsy always has good options-- but the dream is a little shorter:



Have you found the perfect faux fur outerwear this year? Let us know!

*** bonus points if you can tell me the difference between these two animal prints.

I'm loving the "vintage vingettes" that ethanollie is putting together on etsy. Fantastic styling and a great idea for pairing vintage finds together to make a perfect gift.

Designer - Dahl by Alison Kelly

So, maybe you remember Alison, from Project Runway Season 3? The cutest blonde designer ever that my roommate and I both had huge girl crushes on?

(She got kicked out pretty early on for sending models down the runway with Minnie Mouse hair bows. Which, I have noticed on the runway since, and on heads like Lady GaGa and Paris Hilton. So. She was just too fashion forward, and totally robbed, in my opinion)

Anyway. Alison just opened an etsy shop!

I'm especially a fan of this simple black high-waisted skirt. I feel like it is something I would wear all the time.
