Black Friday

Black FridayWith the craziness of Black Friday happening out in the world, I chose to spend my Black Friday thinking of wonderful things that come in black from the safety of my house, as opposed to being trampled for $30 off something I never really wanted, but must have because my competitive spirit screams “WIN!!!” So here I am, safe, as I hope you are, with my list of some fantastic black things to celebrate this day with a little grace.

Trend Tuesday: {Faux} Fur

This is a fun trend to play around with!  One of my favorite purchases this fall from this trend is my H&M Faux Fur Bag {below}, which now has the nickname ‘Furse’. I really love when fur gets cheeky, like in the unconventional way of the Topshop tee {below}. This trend is fantastic to complete any winter look, as well as keep you warm.
