'Tis the season to go faux--faux fur that is! Faux fur is by far the hottest trend this winter, and it's an easy way to add a luxe touch to wardrobe staples. This is not a trend that I find worth spending much of your hard-earned money on--faux fur comes and goes when it comes to winter trends, and it seems that each time it is back en vogue, it's a different color, texture, or silhouette. The thing is, faux fur is a fun trend and a great way to dress up what you already own to look fashionable this winter, be it on a weekend or to a holiday soirée.

Here's some options from the Web that let you get the fabulous faux fur look this winter, but at prices that will let you adopt the next big trend next season:

This season, one of the hottest looks is the bow blouse (also known as a secretary bow or pussy bow blouse). This blouse was popular in the '70s on blouses and dresses, and then in the '80s as a way to add a touch of femininity to the power suit. These days, bow blouses look great on their own or under cardigans…and yes, power suits.

Here are some great options that are at great prices:

I have often written on my blog about wardrobe staples and I feel that every woman should have a simple black dress in her wardrobe. Owning such a dress means you're ready for a wedding, a funeral, a date or a cocktail party.

However, sometimes it's nice to go beyond basic black. And one of those times is the holidays. Right around the corner is the season for eggnog, mistletoe and wining and dining with friends. While you could use a simple LBD to ring the season in with style, choosing color can add a festive touch to your ensemble while also making you stand out in a crowd.

Take a cue from Michelle Obama, who at the South Korea state dinner stood out in a sea of black in her ultraviolet one-shouldered gown from designer Doo-Ri Chung. Her choice of a must-notice color allowed her not to have to rely on sparkly jewelry, a fancy updo or unique makeup. The dress was elegant yet relatively simple, letting the color steal the show.

I love leather and am so glad that leather clothing has come back en vogue this season. Leather is surprisingly versatile and this year designers have been getting creative with it, using it for detailing and in unusual silhouettes.

While leather clothing is a classic wardrobe addition (I have leather skirts and trousers that are over a decade old and still very stylish and on-trend), they can be pretty pricey. It is possible to add the leather trend to your wardrobe without spending an arm and a leg.
