Hot Off The Runway: Fur

The fur trend is the perfect hot off the runway look you need this season! However, if you can’t afford the real thing, be warm, glam and guilt-free with faux fur! If you’re looking to invest on some luxury for your wardrobe, but find it unsettling to be spending your entire Christmas bonus on one item, you might want to try accessorizing with faux fur. Faux fur today is made to look and feel identical to the real thing so no one will be able to tell whether it’s real or fake, unless of course you run into Tim Gunn!

Check out our huge assortment of faux fur items at Dots.

For Holiday ’11, Dots has a variety of styles from cropped boleros to luxe longer looks, perfect to layer over sweater dresses and tunics for a look that is fun and fashion-forward. Give your wardrobe an update for the season by adding fur-trimmed boot or bootie as the newest look; options include casual flat styles as well as sassy stilettos! Fur legwarmers are hot for cold days and look great layered over skinny jeans, leggings or tights for that “layered leg” look that is emerging as a key fashion trend.

Quick Tip: Fair Skinned Beauty

Do any of you have fair/pale complexion and find it hard to pick out the right colors that will make your skin color pop? Well not to fear, beauty insiders from Marie Claire picked out the the three top shades that will make a paler complexion glow this holiday season.

The first color you can choose either for eye shadow or eyeliner is a soft purple. Purples are a cool color so they don’t have a harsh contrast against your skin while still allowing you to play with colors.

The perfect pink can do wonders when chosen correctly. Opt for a rosy shade to really enhance your natural beauty.

Lastly, for those holiday parties, add a little metallic shimmer with a liquid eyeliner.
