    How Much Would You Be Willing To Splurge On A Shearling Moto ...

    As the air starts to get chilly and the leather moto jacket trend starts to get a little exhausted, designers are spicing things up -- studs, built-in belts, and of course, fur and shearling-trimmed collars. As any avid shopper knows, not all trendy biker jackets are created equal... so how to choose? Here we break down a few collared options from opposite ends of the cost spectrum, because depending on your budget (or lack thereof) and your insatiable desire for brand names, a suspiciously good steal isn't necessarily the way to go when you want an investment piece, yet spending a month's rent on one wardrobe addition isn't always in the cards either. Forever 21's Fleece Trim Moto Jacket looks perfectly chic, especially with its appealing $34.80 price tag... but of course, it's not real leather and I wouldn't bet my life savings on how long the piece will last you. The Motorcycle Jacket with Faux Fur Trim by Aqua is genuine leather, but is the authentic material worth the extra $265.20? And of course, for those who won't settle for anything less than the best, the Acne Rita 2 Jacket is convertible with its removable collar -- meaning even more possibilities for long-term wearability. But it also comes at a price. A whopping $1130 price. Which moto jacket do you think is the wisest deal? Vote below on whether you'd save, splurge, or go the middle road... or just scrap the trend altogether!

    Forever Plaid: Wear This Season's Preferred Print

    It's something we've all got somewhere in our wardrobe -- mainly because plaid could quite possibly be one of the most versatile five letter words in fashion. The thick and thin lines crossing each other in contrasting colors dating back to the first bag-pipers can be dug back out of the closet -- with the right pairings, plaid can say a lot about your style. While some moments of seasons past are too horrible to return to, the look of plaid flannel shirts that dominated the nineties are an acceptable role model for today's trends. With motifs from comfortable to casual, plaid makes looking cute natural and effortless. Add a pair of light-wash jeans, and plaid's preppy; add a bow, and plaid's sweet. Draw attention to yourself with whichever plaid personality you want to flaunt this season and take a peek at the slideshow for ideas!

    This Season, Thou 'Shawl' Wear Sweaters

    A while back, the shawl neck collar was more common for retirement home residents and winter wonderland lumberjacks who lived in a log cabin and sipped coffee from tin cups and slept on bear skin rugs. Little did we know, they were way ahead of their time. Shawl necks are a hot commodity for both men and women since designers have added a modern magic wand to the classic neckline. From cardigans to hoodies to knitted skulls, the shawl neck is all over the place. Maison Martin Margiela, Calvin Klein and Ralph Lauren have all made some winter-friendly shawl knits that stay true to the nostalgia, but are sartorially relevant to the 21st century. The rolled neck comes in varying v-neck depths and it not only keeps you warm, but it is chic and it has this mature vibe to it. I don't know what it exactly is, but a shawl neck makes you look wise. And if you stick a pipe in your mouth, you will look like a genius Ivy League professor. My personal favorites are shawl neck cardigans and chunky pullovers, but take a gander at the slideshow to pick out a favorite of your own.

    When they're not peeing on your carpet or chewing up your Manolos, your fur children can bring you more happiness than people, food, drink, and reruns of 30 Rock - combined. So when it comes to the holidays, a big present under the tree for little Baxter von Tittlefoot is just not enough. But don't run to the local PetMart to get another been-there/done-that chew toy or catnip-filled hacky sack. Get a handmade gift this year, but do it today, because these things take time to ship, people!
