Recessionista Faux Sure!

Unsure of what to wear when the temperatures drop?

A faux-fur vest could be a great solution!

The faux-fur vest is off the hook and one of the great must haves for fall. I will say that celebrity stylist Rachel Zoe may have been the influence here, as she always looks so insanely fabulous in her oversized shades, bellbottom jeans and peasant blouses. (That hair and those trademark fur vests of hers make us all about jealous.)

I just love the look, and you can get it now for only $60, but there has been an invasion of the faux-type aesthetic all over the place. It’ll make you feel good.

This vest is on pre-order in extra-small and small sizes (medium and large sizes are available now!), so get those fingers snapping!

Four Stylists, Four Covers

Booking shoots is never easy, but when it came to photographing stylists and their star clients, actresses couldn’t stop saying yes.

Editors here had an embarrassment of potential covers — we couldn't pick just one, so we went with the four you see above. How to explain the celebrity loyalty? For an actress, a stylist sees her at her most vulnerable: undressed and stressed about the red carpet. Then again, best supporting actress nominee Jessica Chastain, whom photographer Mary Rozzi had 15 minutes to shoot in her Roosevelt Hotel room before she stepped onto the Oscar red carpet, was "calm and mellow," says Rozzi. "She said it was the best outfit, hair and makeup that she had ever had." Rozzi, who has shot for Vanity Fair and La Perla ads, also photographed Charlize Theron, a red-carpet icon, with stylist Leslie Fremar. "By Charlize's body language, she's very confident," recalls Rozzi. Yet the best photos ended up being of two friends, not glamazons: "Leslie was nervous and Charlize was saying, 'It's going to be fine, you're great, you're gorgeous.' " Photographer Joe Pugliese, who has shot numerous THR covers, captured the collaborative vibe between Katie Holmes and her stylist, Jeanne Yang. Says Pugliese, "They were definitely having a good time and comfortable sharing space." The space in question was their Holmes & Yang collection design studio: "a rooftop penthouse, like a New York fashion atelier." Pugliese's favorite part of the shoot occurred before he took a picture: "The first person I met was Suri, Katie's daughter, running out of the elevator with a stuffed animal bigger than her. That was definitely a nice moment."

Designer Max Azria Debuts Online Discount Boutique - UsMagazine.com

I am a fashionista and I like a price break every once in a while. I was cruising the BCBG site and found that that they have a little trend corner called Final Cut where all the end of season dresses, separates and accessories go. I found this super cute dress that’s been marked down from $348 to $174! But if color-blocked cobalt ain’t your thing, check out their multi-tiered strapless party dress marked down from $238 to $119. Sizes are limited, but I have to say, there is stuff to be had at this site.

Celebs like Demi Lovato, Kristin Bell, Angelina Jolie (remember the infamous backward dress?) love Max Azria’s stuff, and so do I! Every time I go on a shoot, I am loaded with dresses from his line because they work on everyone. And when you roam the site or go into the store, there are so much great pieces that you will find yourself leaving with a full wardrobe for a season. There are accessories galore, shoes, handbags, evening wear, day dresses…I mean, if they offer you water, you never have to go home again!

Check out the Max Azria Final Cut Corner here.
