A standout clutch can add soooo much to your holiday ensemble — and seriously, a little glitter makes us ridiculously happy. True, glitter can look cheap if it’s not done well — but that doesn’t mea
Money is tighter than ever this time of year — but the cruel joke? We have to show incredible restraint to resist buying ourselves all those fabulous things we’re seeing, and budget our money carefully to ensure we have gifts for our most-deserving loves ones covered. Ugh, it’s a fashionistas nightmare — but we do have our ways of justifying spending a tiny bit on ourselves. For example, those holiday get-togethers (and hey, just those dreary winter days ahead) mean we could really use a little bling to update our tried-and-true basics. Statement necklace anyone? Yes please.
Okay, so we’ve talked ourselves into it — but we refuse to overspend. To prove you don’t have to (it’s a hobby) we’ve found two statement necklaces we like — one is chump change (okay it’s on sale, but even so) and the other is half our entire holiday spending limit. Can you tell which is which? Answer after the jump.
Faux fur has been all over this fall, and we’re big fans. The “fur “ part is pretty, luxurious and warm — and the “faux” part allows us to be stylish with no philosophical conflicts whatsoever. Plus, faux is cheaper than the real thing, but as with all trends,you can most certainly spend more than you should (we never do, of course — it’s kind of a prerequisite around here).
Quite frankly, you don’t have to spend a ton on faux to look on-trend, and to prove it we’ve picked two faux fur vests we’d wear — one costs a car payment and the other, approximately the same as four movie tickets (so we’ll buy it and hit the Redbox instead).
So, which is which? Find out after the jump.
