#FURKISSED

September 15, 2015 / Elizabeth Savetsky

I have major news. Pologeorgis, famous for their gorgeous, world-renowned, hand-tailored fur collection, has just launched an E-commerce site, making their luxurious furs accessible to each and every one of you! I first discovered Pologeorgis a couple of years ago and was blown away by the perfect combination of timeless elegance and modern edge that each piece possesses. I can't believe I am saying this, but I actually look forward to brutal NYC winter temperatures so I can don my chic fur purchases from Pologeorgis. The exquisite collection is composed with the finest quality materials and designed to extreme precision in styles that are both incredibly fashionable and incredibly wearable (think fur-collared bomber jackets and fox vests). And did I mention the accessories!? The cozy beanies, luxe infinity scarves (fall-transition must-have!!), and deliciously warm gloves are all magnificent! I had the pleasure of styling pieces from the collection for my Pologeorgis Instagram takeover. Here are some of my favorites, though I think I called every single fur "my favorite" at some point throughout the day. Shop the collection at Pologeorgis.com and follow my fun and fur-filled day of dress-up tomorrow, Thursday, October 1st, as I take over the Pologeorgis Instagram.

Fuzzy Friend

December 14, 2014 / Elizabeth Savetsky

The holidays are on the horizon and when it comes to the perfect gift for your fab friend or your permanent plus-one, look no FURther than the fur clutch, or as I affectionately refer to it, my fuzzy friend. This plush pouch is a great seasonal addition to any festive ensemble. Bonus? The spacious, unstructured shape allows room to stash gloves, ear muffs, and even a flask for those extra cold evening strolls . Find my fave fuzzies below.

Peace, Love, and Boots

November 11, 2014 / Elizabeth Savetsky

Last week, I accompanied my husband to San Francisco for a medical conference. While he worked, I played. I went vintage shopping, had Irish coffee at Buena Vista (twice), and roamed the hills of the city. Never one to shy away from literal theme-dressing, I couldn't help but channel the hippie vibes of the Haight-Ashbury while exploring the City by the Bay. My hippie may be more a little more glam than earthy, authentic hippie chicks like Joan Baez and Stevie Nicks. I guess one may call this look "Haute Hippie." Oh shoot, someone beat me to that name.

By now you probably know that there is little I love in life more than a statement accessory (my family, close friends, and simple carbohydrates rank just above.......kidding). There is no word besides groovy to describe these zigzag suede Jimmy Choo boots from AMUZE (that you can get for an insanely ridiculous deal that is almost too good to be true). What better place to wear these groovy boots than in the city that was home to psychedelic rock and the hippie counterculture movement? What I wouldn't give to be taking shots of Southern Comfort with Janis Joplin in 1967. I can almost hear Bobby McGee...

Favorite Time of Year

October 07, 2014 / Elizabeth Savetsky

There's something in the air. It's a fresh, crisp, breezy sensation that brings warm and fuzzy feelings of "back-to-school" nostalgia. I literally wake up happier this time of year. I love the fall for many reasons. The temperatures are perfect for all-day strolls...no need for taxis when the weather is this beautiful! Fall is also my favorite season for dressing because I love to play with layers and cool-weather accessories like wool hats, flannel scarves, and leather gloves. My seasonal uniform tends to channel Paul Bunyan ("Lumberjack Lizzy," if you will). On any given day you will find me pushing the stroller around the Upper East Side clad in flannel shirt and fur vest, latte in hand, smile on my face. This is my happy place.

Finally Fall

October 01, 2014 / Elizabeth Savetsky

Ever since my Pologeorgis showroom visit, I've been dreaming up outfits starring my new fox vest! Now that autumn is officially here, I want to share my first fur of the season with all you. In honor of this momentous occasion, I spent a "rawther glamorous" (Eloise at the Plaza, if you will) afternoon at Bergdorf Goodman. This look reminds me of a modern take on the uptown, mink stole and Chanel tweed clad lady-who-lunches. Because this vintage-heavy look could go grandma (chic grandma, but grandma nonetheless) very quickly, I incorporated several downtown-esque accessories. The blue/green fur vest replaces a brown mink stole, the gold booties replace a classic black pump, and the Ray-Ban Clubmasters replace an oversized pair of Jackie O's, giving this ensemble just the right amount of unexpected excessive edge. I guess I can call this outfit "Excessive Edgy Grandma goes to Bergdorf."

Vest: Pologeorgis, Dress: Vintage YSL, Bootie: Saint Laurent (Net-A-Porter for similar styles), Necklace: Vintage Chanel, RIng: Erickson Beamon, Handbag: Vintage via my most fabulous grandma, Sunglasses: Ray-Ban
