'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:

Steve Rogers was a scrawny, thin sickly man. He joined the military despite that, but was classified as unfit for duty. Steve's courage and resilience caught the eye of a scientist who recruited him to a secret experimental project. Steve entered a body chamber, and emerged as superhero Captain America. He experienced a rebirth into a chiseled, muscular and uber-athletic body. (
If only such a chamber existed for the general population.)
Good news, if you want to achieve an athletic, toned body you can try a fitness-training course at home.

Black Friday and the start of Day after Halloween Deals by 2015.
Walmart has already pushed the envelope this year by starting their Christmas shopping deals on November 5th, weeks before Thanksgiving. Being the biggest retailer on the planet, you either keep up with them, get out in front of them, or get run over by them.

Many people use Facebook to socialize with friends and family. But did you know that you could use Facebook to save money on
Black Friday shopping? It is true; now you can add Facebook Pages to your arsenal of print circulars and Websites.
The holiday shopping season officially begins the day after Thanksgiving so there's little time to lose. Consumers can find great deals on this day because businesses want you to do your holiday shopping at their store. They offer items at deep discounts including selling items at a loss to entice you into the store hoping that you will also buy items at regular price.
Black Friday is known for special offers that are available on that day only. Sometimes it is not so easy to find these special deals in a timely manner. That is where a Facebook Page shines.

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:

British secret service agent James Bond ran out of time--well, sort of...His wristwatch blew up. He may thank the Q Branch for the explosive properties inside the watch's mechanisms. That break-through-thick-walls bomb helped 007 slip out of a sticky situation. Bond's new assignment however requires him to blend with the general population.
Say goodbye to luxury watches styled by
Cartier and say hello to trendy, affordable men's watches under $500.

Sure Craiglist and
eBay are great, but sometimes for one reason or another you need an alternative. There are some items that just aren't allowed on those sites--not even illegal or unseemly stuff either; dogs, cats and other pets for example. Everyone knows that
buying used is the number one best way to save your money, especially on durable goods that don't wear out, so here are some places to find that stuff.

As soon as the leaves start to turn, one starts to crave tall leather boots. They are a perfect choice for fall and winter--keeping you warm and dry while looking chic. Whether you pair your knee-high boots with a dress for work, or with skinny jeans and a slouchy sweater on the weekend, they are an easy way to add style to a simple ensemble.
Unless you have wide calves (
like me). Be you athletic, plus size, or blessed with larger calves, trying to find a pair of knee-high boots can be a frustrating experience. I have dealt with large calves all my life and have found some great online resources to find stylish tall boots that will fit those of us with large calves.
Here are my favorites:
