Buy it Now: Faux Fur Coat & Shearling Coat

So recently I wrote about Shearling Coats for fall and showcased a variety of options to get the look for less.  And earlier this week, Who What Wear Daily showcased some options for the faux fur coat for less this fall.  Anyways just wanted to share what I saw on a recent trip to Uniqlo.

Now you can get both the looks for a startlingly low price!  Faux Shearling in a Burberry-esque Bomber style for just $60!  There was only 1 brown jacket left but plenty of black when I was last in store.  I tried it on and it fit quite snuggly.

They also had this season’s star print, leopard, amongst other types of faux fur coats for just $80 a pop!

Traditionally I hit up Uniqlo to get my fix on great basics like extra long cardigans and basics but guess they are revving up the fashion factor with super affordable yest stylish outerwear for the masses.  I did also spot some of this Fall’s key item – The Camel coat!  If you head to Uniqlo today, you may also spot some of the new shipment of +J.

DIY: Leopard Print Nails

Ever since I painted my nails with leopard spots a couple weeks ago, the compliments are endless. People ask me if I'd gotten them done on a special machine, or if they are some kind of sticker, but really it's just a little patience! At least 3 or 4 strangers a day have been commenting, so I thought I'd share!

Start off doing your nails the same way that you normally would. Lovely base coat (I use OPI Start to Finish), then a fun bright color, I used Essie Shorty Pants.

Next using a bright contrast color (I've used hot pink, MAC's Cuisine) paint little circular shapes on your nail. Make them imperfect and not quite closed all the way. Make sure that you have very little nail polish on your brush to ensure that it won't drip.

Keep going until the circles are a nice irregular pattern allover. Also, don't be afraid if it gets on your skin slightly.

When slightly dry, go back and accent the first set of circles with a dark contrast color (Rimmel's Black Satin) leaving space around to make sure that the base and first set of circles still shows through. It doesn't have to be perfect because that's the charm of leopard print!

Continue and when dry set with a topcoat. So my secret for cleaning up the excess that gets on your skin? When nails are completely bone dry, I usually do this the next day while I take a shower, just lightly scratch off the nail polish on your skin while your hands are wet. Tada! I think the finished result looks vaguely Steven Sprouse like!
