Trend of the Week: Faux-Fur Coats

 
“Wouldn’t it be nice if you had one foolproof piece that promised a great outfit no matter what you were wearing […]? The answer to this exact problem just so happens to be a faux-fur coat. […] Instead of throwing on a sweatshirt, slipping into a furry statement coat will create a head-turning look in seconds. Since this kind of coat comes in colors, patterns, and textures aplenty, they accommodate style preferences across the board, making them pretty approachable[…]. All you have to do now is find the one that’s perfect for you.”  – Text source: whowhatwear.com

TV show of the week: 
Modern Family

The show centers around three families, Jay his young wife Gloria and their son Manny, Jay’s daughter Claire and her husband Phil who have three children, and Jay’s son Mitchell and his husband Cameron who have a young adopted daughter Lily. Together the three separate family units create one big, chaotic and lovable “modern family.”
