Fur Everyday...

Top: JCrew│Skirt: JCrew│Fur Scarf: Loft│Pumps: Joe's│Bag: Louis Vuitton (AGORA Vintage)

Fur was the embodiment of glamour in previous eras, and today, it shouldn't be any different! Thanks to vintage shops and some of our favorite stores, statement fur and faux fur pieces are frequently available. Pair it with something dressy for that extra elegant kick, or dress it down with your favorite cozy casual sweater. Do you have a fur (real or faux) that you love to wear? How do you style it?

White Plum GIVEAWAY...

Top: JCrew│Skirt: White Plum c/o│Pumps: Schutz│Necklace: Kate Spade│Sunglasses: Tom Ford
Recently, I stumbled across the most adorable online boutique, White Plum. I was instantly impressed with the style, selection and price of their items. Current trends at affordable prices, what could be better? I just know you will love them as much as I do, here's a bit of history on the shop and the owner Hilary.

When Hilary Zwahlen started White Plum, she envisioned a unique way to channel the travel-all-over-town-looking-for-the-best-deal-with-kids-screaming-in-the-car mentality she learned from her mom in the 1980’s. She wanted to make the killer deal available to people like her -- people who have jobs or school or screaming kids and don’t seem to have enough time to get it all done.

As the painful car rides with her mom and brothers in the 80’s faded into the background, Hilary found that she had a passion for creativity, which eventually led her to Los Angeles to pursue a career in acting, dancing, and hosting. She danced at the Emmy’s next to Josh Groban, performed as the professional dance partner of the winner of the first season of Oxygen’s “Dance Your Ass Off,” scored a role in Gangster Squad (yes, Gosling said “hi” on set … boom!), and starred in an episode of MTV’s “Made,” among many other roles. Her work on everything from big budget Hollywood blockbusters to shoestring budget online startups helped her gain valuable production experience in all types of creative environments.

When she took on new roles as a wife and then a mom, Hilary realized she still needed a creative outlet. She sat down with her husband, Rod, and the two of them decided to figure out a way to harness Hilary’s creative energy to create an accessible lifestyle brand. Thus, White Plum was born.

Within months after White Plum’s launch, the business was growing fast enough for Rod and his brother Jay to leave their careers in marketing and business administration to help lead White Plum into its next stage of development. The three of them -- along with many other key members of the company -- give White Plum decades of experience in marketing, management, retail and the creative arts. This combination of skills allows White Plum to provide you the best possible customer experience.

White Plum is being extremely generous and offering The Brandied Pair readers a chance to win a $50 store credit and is offering you guys the coupon code BRANDIEDHOLIDAY25. The code is for 25% until December 26. White Plum is also offering FREE SHIPPING until the end of the year. Make sure you enter to win and take advantage of that coupon, I know I will!

HighWaisted...

Top: JCrew│Denim: JCrew│Heels: JCrew│Hat: Bailey's for JCrew
Made popular in the 80's, high-waisted jeans have re-emerged and become one of the newest trends. The high-waisted look appeals to the older customer who needs a bit more coverage and also young fashionistas who are searching for the newest trend. Not only is this look appealing to women of all ages, but this look can be a flattering fit for most body types. What are you thoughts? How do you feel about high-waisted bottoms?
