Mon chéri, in the left corner we have Donna Karan’s luscious Lamb Shearling Wrap Collar; in the right corner you will find Talbots’ fabulous Faux Fur Collar.While the fierce Talbots piece is, of course, constructed out of faux fur, as opposed to the true lambskin shearling of the Karan creation; for a mere $49.00, in comparison to the $1,295.00 price tag of its haute couture cousin, it is the frugalista’s cure for a furry craving, that is equal parts ethical, animal, and budget friendly – it also allows the budget fashionista the ability to indulge in both haute hues (black and grey)!
Which role are you playing today, kitty cats…the frugal femme fatale or the sassy spendthrift?
Fashionably yours!
Thanks to Saks Fifth Avenue and Talbots for the pictures.

That is such a cute collar. I really like Talbots, for the price they have good tailoring. I wish I led a more fabulous life. Maybe I should just show up at the dollar movies with a fur collar.

The fur is flying all over this season. From boots to vests everyone is wearing it.
ReplyDeleteDonna Karan, it looks softer.
ReplyDeleteWOW..that price is steep.
ReplyDeleteIts so cool. I'd go for the gray, though. and the cheaper one. Really, it is inspiring to want to create your own like crocheting.. of course, little bouquet of flowers!
I would go fake if I were to do this. But I doubt I will. Interesting.
ReplyDeletethis post just proves we have the same taste!! I work retail at Talbots and have this very faux fur collar on hold :)
ReplyDeleteI will always always always choose faux fur or no fur. :)
ReplyDeleteHow glamorous! I have a feeling that in person the DK one is incredibly amazing and totally surpasses the Talbots one, but as I don't have $1,000 to spare, I'll take the Talbots one, please. ;)
ReplyDeleteMhmmmm...Great idea and I need it!
ReplyDeleteƸ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
Awesome find, darling!
ReplyDeleteI will have to check Talbots out!

The Talbots' version is so nice. I think I may have to get that one. Happy Sunday!
ReplyDeleteIts also good to check out vintage and thrift stores! I find cheap vintage collars all the time.
ReplyDeleteI would have never thunk it. Very impressive. I like the fake stuff.
ReplyDeletefaux fur, for me.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty:)
ReplyDeleteThis just reminds me of pulling mine out of the box. :)
ReplyDeleteHave a gorgeous one!
I like the Talbots one!

Wow... how'd you find that?? I'd go with the Talbots one, they're very similar :)
ReplyDeleteVal
Such a classic! Love that it can be attainable at that price.
ReplyDeleteLOVING these. Genius. Especially as the thermometer is about to plunge...
ReplyDeleteHave a cosy week !
i'd go for the talbots one... i'm fine with the use of lamb- and sheepskin, as well as any other animal used for food and not just for their fur, but i'll still go faux to save some cash.. :P
ReplyDeletePretty way to keep your neck warm. To me that's key to staying warm in winter!
ReplyDeletego for the Talbots one - so many great faux fur pieces out there right now at GREAT prices and I LOVE that! (-:
ReplyDeletesuch a must for any closet... almost exactly what i'm looking for besides the color !

What a fun piece! I actually prefer faux fur, so that's no drawback for me.
ReplyDeleteErika I am Talbots all the way lady. I wonder if they make a fur trapper hat???
ReplyDeletexo,
carrie
Donna Karan does look softer but both look cozy and warm!
ReplyDeleteokay, I love this line!!! "Which role are you playing today, kitty cats…the frugal femme fatale or the sassy spendthrift?", so beautifully worded!!! I'm going to say Talbots all the way, faux fur is the way to go and I love, love, love the look of this and want the gray one as well!
ReplyDeleteFake please! And while we are at it I need a new LBD to go with this divine piece of glamour.
ReplyDeleteOoo, pretty. I'm definitley going for the Talbots one.
ReplyDeleteguess i'll go for the cheap one!! :)
ReplyDeleteI have to say, I am LOVING faux fur myself! Craving a cute faux-fur cropped jacket!
ReplyDeleteGreat buy!
