#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.

Neon Navajo

January 06, 2015 / Elizabeth Savetsky

I never really got into the whole music festival scene and now that I have kids, that ship has really sailed. In any case, I love to dream up tribal-inspired outfits that I would wear to Coachella... and then I wear them to D'agostino to buy apple juice boxes.

I nearly passed out the first time I saw this neon, hand-embroidered shearling Pia Pauro vest. Can you say excessive? After repeatedly ogling it at my office at Showroom Seven, I finally had to make it mine. You may or may not remember my recent post on the embroidered vest as a seasonal must-have. A statement vest is a great way to amp up a casual, everyday look, like this denim-on-denim ensemble. Vests are also great to layer under or over coats for those extra cold winter days.

I accessorized with a hand-painted vintage leather purse that I found at a swap meet in Chelsea my junior year of college. The purse really brings out the tribal vibe of the vest. While I love "theme" dressing, mixing vintage pieces with modern ones is a good way to keep a look fresh. As if the vest weren't bright enough, I added a neon Erickson Beamon necklace...a dash of J. Lo in the Joni Mitchell, you know?

As I was shooting these photos, a woman asked if I chose the location because of the architecture. I told her yes and she asked if I knew the history of the building. Turns out the backdrop for this Navajo-inspired post was a building that formerly housed thousands of Native Americans in the early 1900s. Wowsers.

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.
