So, as I entered the Causeway Approach in Mandeville, Louisiana, this morning, en route to teaching ballet in New Orleans, I saw the newly hung red and green lighted branches on the posts, and realized that the holidays are imminent. With that in mind, it's time to get in gear for quality American-made gifts. As always, I have tough criteria: the items must be made in the United States, attractive, useful, durable, and affordable (under $100 is what I have aimed for and achieved, thus far).This is the time for a sweet (and still, economical) splurge. Those little fun items, with a bit of girly girl appeal. With that in mind, I present a wonderful company, Fabulous Furs, headquartered in Covington, Kentucky (which I've actually visited, being just a trek across a bridge from Cincinnati), and which bills itself as "the world's finest faux fur."
For just $99.00, you can amp up your wardrobe (or the woman's in your life) with this Tipped Feather Fox Fashionista Vest, which ranges in size from XS to 3X, and is available in Black Feather Fox, Russian Lynx, Ivory Feather Fox, and Tipped Fox.
Other options for revving up your winter style include a great selection of faux fur hats for that
classic "Lara" appeal. This faux fur Cossack hat goes for $59.00, and comes in Black Fox, Russian Sable, Russian Lynx, Leopard, and Winter White Mink. It can be adjusted by rolling the brim inside. An elastic band also lends this beauty to fitting most women. If you order one of these lovely items, you'll be in fashionable company.Coats from Fabulous Furs have been featured on such shows as "Designing Women," "Law and Order," "Gossip Girl," and numerous soap operas. Notable fans of these products include Patti LaBelle, Fantasia, H
elen Gurley Brown, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Rue McClanahan, Sally Jessey Raphael, Carol Burnett, Mary Tyler Moore, Tiffani-Amber Theissen, Loretta Swit, and Stephanie Powers.And now, for the ultimate bargain. How about this wonderful U.S. made Eternity Wrap? This "lavishly trimmed velvet wrap" can be worn in a variety of ways, including as a wrap over a coat or sweater, or as a hood. It is available in black and brown, and comes in sizes S/M, L/XL, and 2X/3X. And here's the kicker: It is currently on sale for $9.00!!!!! Check it out right here.
