Is it murder if it's second hand?

Betty Wayne — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 08:24:08 -0800

Okay, while I'm not a strict vegetarian I like to eat only free-range meat, and I tend to avoid animal fashions like leather and fur, and I'm very strongly against cruelty to animals, but...
I found a beautiful cream-colored rabbit's fur coat at a garage sale for $2. Yes, absolutely gorgeous, perfect condition, genuine rabbit fur coat for TWO DOLLARS!!!!!!!!! I'm completely in love with it. Based on my personal moral beliefs, is it wrong to wear it? It's not like I'm monetarily supporting the fur trade but I still feel like a hypocrite sporting something that is so completely amazingly beautiful that other women may be tempted to go out and buy their own... from the store... supporting the fur trade and contributing to the senseless slaughter of more innocent little bunny rabbits.
BUT I LOVE IT!!!!! Please don't try to convince me that's it's not wrong to wear fur- my mind is set on that, and I'm not out to judge anyone who does wear fur and leather. Is it okay for me to wear it because I love it and it was only two dollars? Or should I drop it in the collection box at the Good Will? Or should I throw it out?
This is a huge moral dilemma for me, please help!

I did some shopping yesterday at Forever 21 and picked up this cute skirt for only $11.50. This is a great deal. It also comes in a fushia and blue color. It is tireded and has a nice satin texture. I am going to pair it with a nice pair of tights and a blazer for a nice fall look. Yippee. I love something that has high quality and does not cost alot.

Trendspotting-Gold Metallic Minidresses Under $50

FashionWithoutGuilt — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 12:38:44 -0800

Rise and Shine!!! Metallics and Mini Dresses are back with a vengeance. The trend this season is sexy shine. As pictured Kim Kardashian and Elisa Dushku are showing us great examples of this trend done right. Forever 21 and AmericanApparel have some great alternatives we can all afford.

When choosing metallics there are a few things to consider:

1. The type of material of the garment-Fabrics with shine if not chosen wisely can come across as low quality(cheap). To prevent this, try the item on first. Is there a stretch to the fabric or do you just look like roll of aluminum foil?

2. No Shine Overload-I am all for glitz but sometimes there can be too much. If you are going to incorporate shine into your ensemble, please use discretion. Do not ever wear this fabric as a top and bottom. The fashion police will be called immediately. Choose one garment and stick to it.

3. Have Fun-Metallics are all about fun and making statement. So OWN IT AND BE FIERCE.

Whitney Port by far is one of my favorite fashionista of all time. Her style has just the right mix of classic yet some trendworthy looks. I am a huge fan of "THE CITY". I love to watch and see the new elements of fashion that only they can give. This edition of Seen In Action is showcasing the Tyrant shoe by TopShop.

The sneaker/skipper has a great edge with the studded accents. For ONLY $40 they can be yours. I COVET THEM HARD!!! I am glad they are so affordable. They are now only avaliable in the purple and white.
