Loving the Look of Faux Shearling

You can dress down an outfit with a faux shearling jacket or dress up a pair of pants or a dress with a sleek black faux shearling vest.

Our East Tennessee winter has been a mix of cold and warm. And because the weather has been indecisive these last few weeks, I tend to dress in layers.

My new favorite jeans are the G by Giuliana Luxe Stretch Denim Boyfriend Jeans, available at HSN. Giuliana’s clothes are currently […]
