NEW YORK — We bumped into Taylor Momsen on Central Park West yesterday and we instantly admired her rock chick look (especially ripped hosiery and holstered guitar behind Taylor’s back).
Taylor wore a military green parka with faux fur collar, a light green mini dress and paratrooper style boots. Taylor carried Novella Royale Mister Handbag ($584). Couturecandy.com will sell the bag with 20% discount for $467.20 with the promo code ‘SHOP20′ (we verified the code on 12/10/2009).
All-righty then! It looks like we are going to see lots of faux fur this fall/winter season — especially coats and vests. We are getting a lot of vibe from Where The Wild Things Are. Of course, we will never see as much as a wisp of faux fur on Anna Wintour or Victoria Beckham. But, hey, these ladies ain’t mainstream.
It is rather impractical to own expensive chinchilla or mink coat these days. Ask Jennifer Lopez! Insurance premiums are high, and the giant PETA rabbits are lurking around clutching protest posters and buckets of paint.
Kate Moss‘ Winter Holiday 2009 Collection for Topshop features couple of faux fur jackets. Some conscious celebrities already wore faux fur last winter. Other celebrities are catching up to this trend.
Katherine Heigl, Sarah Michelle Gellar and Kate Hudson all own Juicy Couture faux fur coat. While this style is no longer available, there’s another deserving variation — Juicy Couture Bracelet Sleeve Faux Fur Flounce Coat ($398). There’s also interesting Juicy Couture Faux Fur Vest [sold out, was $298]. We are going to see lots of these furry things.
Whoa, Angelina Jolie was wearing chinchilla hat and cape on the set of her latest movie, Salt!? Actually, Angelina, who is longtime fur foe, was wearing man made fur, not the real thing.

Being one of the key trends of Spring/Summer 2008, jumpsuits and rompers (but mostly jumpsuits) are still going strong this fall. Blake Lively, who adopted jumpsuit as her signature garment on screen and in real life, is partially responsible for keeping interest in jumpsuits alive.

There’s a particular advantage of jumpsuits — they instantly spice-up any ensemble turning it into a perfect party style.
Great news for those who already own this garment — with little styling you will be able to wear your favorite summer piece and stay warm while spending the night on the town this fall!
Pictures above show Blake Lively, who styled her black romper with Dries Van Noten Fall 2009 blazer and Marc by Marc Jacobs grey booties ($359, was $595). Jennifer Lopez styled her draped jumpsuit with white A. L. C. asymmetrical leather jacket and Thomas Wylde boots.
So, blazers (boyfriend), bolero jackets, military jackets, leather jackets, coats, etc. are great to make jumpsuits fall ready.
