Elements of Style Blog

If there is one thing that dresses up a room or makes a boring outfit more fabulous it’s a dash of faux fur. I absolutely love adding a touch of faux fur into a room as a way to add interest and texture without adding more pattern.  I can’t tell you how many mongolian lamb pillows or fur throws I’ve spec’d for clients over the years.  And the fuax fur vest is the number one item I wear most in the fall and winter because it’s the most perfect layering piece and is easy to pop on over any sweater or even over a leather jacket for extra warmth and a touch of glamour!

West Elm has GREAT ones right now, in fact I bought the grey ombre/chinchilla one already for our living room.

Etsy seller Shannaleigh25 has some realistic looking ones too! More expensive, but really good looking and available in KING size for the bed!

This Mink Rabbit one:

This Lynx one:

Fabulous Furs has tons of options, partial to the Limited Edition ones:

Not looking to spend much? Try World Market- for $59.99 you can pick up one of these:

As for vests, finding a good faux one isn’t super easy- when they look like your wearing a stuffed animal skin it’s not very stylish. I have one from Rachel Zoe’s HSN line from years ago and it’s such a good fake- although Andrew tells me it looks like I’m wearing a stray cat. Whatevs. What does he know?
