of...Fur in Fall.

What better way to prepare for the frost and cold this fall than bundled up in beautiful fur?

Now, we're not talking about your conventional fur mink, however timeless that may be; we're talking about the unique fitted leather coats with billowing fur collars, the perfectly cropped jacket of purple dyed fur, and the ever-trendy fur vests of countless styles.

Here's how to rock it.

 And here's where to buy it:

of...Layering.

Every morning I have a general routine before I start getting dressed; wake up, shower, make coffee, and check weather.com. To my horror, this morning, an alert appeared on the screen in bold frightening red lettering: "FROST ADVISORY."

I'm sorry, what? 

It is only October 12th. Alas, I glumly entered my closet and thumbed through my clothing, hoping to find some sort of inspiration. And then, it came to me.

 Layering. 

I would be able to fight off this frost fashionably after all. Triumphantly, I pulled a cream oversized popcorn sweater  and long silk button down dress off their hangers. Slipping those on, I paired my favorite leggings underneath, grabbed some knee-high socks, and pulled on my Frye Leslie booties. To finish the look, I grabbed my black American Apparel circle scarf and whipped my hair up in a spunky ponytail. 

As I walked outside to catch the bus, I smiled to myself--I was incredibly warm and still fashionable.
