When it comes to New York Fashion Week, we wear pink faux fur. Literally. Not only did I wear faux fur on Saturday during New York Fashion Week, my friend Laura from Have Need Want also wore shades of pink faux fur; oh we were quite a sight together!

Seriously though, when in the world can you wear a shaggy, pink faux fur coat in a regular day to day life? It can only work during fashion week; or any fashion related event. Now, when it comes to shaggy black faux fur, it can be worn all the time, for any occasion! If you are thinking of a fun, faux fur coat to keep you warm now, and next year, my coat is in stock in black; and it is on sale! Love that!

I am so glad I packed this fun and furry, pink faux fur coat. The temperatures on day three of New York Fashion Week dropped down into single digits. This little California girl was frozen solid! Thankfully my coat kepy me toasty warm. Even the pockets were fabulous! When my iPhone battery dropped down to nothing due to the cold, I took it out of my purse, and placed it in my pocket. The combination of my body heat, and the warmth of this coat, kept my iPhone charged! Loved it!

This fun, fluffy, pink faux fur coat would also be a kick to wear on a trip to Tahoe. Wouldn’t it be fun to walk into a restaurant and be the only person not wearing a giant ski jacket? I am sure I would get some shade thrown my way, but hey, live a little right?

Day three of New York Fashion Week was a fun day. I started off the day at Taoray Wang, then felt really special with my assigned, front row seat at one of my favorite designers, Leanne Marshall. I got the most fabulous photos of her beautiful collection! Stay tuned for my write up on her show!!

After Leanne Marshall, I went to Michelle Helene’s presentation, and then went to one of my favorite shows; Monique Lhuillier! My assigned seat was straight up from the photographers risers, so my pictures show the models as they turned. Although I didn’t get really good shots of the models head to toe, I did get some fun photos which show the models turning motion. Since her inspiration was taken from the early 1970s, I thought the motion added a groovy vibe to my view. Loved it! Stay tuned for my write-up on her show too!

I had a blast being a giant, pink fur ball on day three of New York Fashion Week. It was little Pink Panther, and a little pink Cookie Monster. When Laura and I walked together, the street style photographers definitely started snapping! It was really fun. Now I need to find another avant-garde occasion to wear this pink faux fur coat again! It is quite fun!

Quest and Quality SmileSolar solar powered watches are nothing short of amazing! I am in love with my cute, new, Q & Q watch. It has pictures of red and green apples on it, an uber cool watch face, and it is powered by the sun! Eco-Chic = LOVE!

Since wind up watches are a thing of the past, the majority of watches in today’s marketplace are battery powered. When battery-powered watches first came out, they offered the convenience of not having to wind up your watch. This seemed so modern and high-tech at the time! Of course, as time moves forward (pun intended), the battery powered watch is becoming passe, and the solar powered watch is new, now, and cutting edge tech. Isn’t that what we love here in Silicon Valley? Of course!

The Quest and Quality SmileSolar watch is powered by solar. This means you never have to run to the watchmaker, and leave your watch for a week, in order to replace your dead battery. It also means you don’t have to worry about the disposal of said battery, and it’s impact on the environment. Love that!

Not only does the Quest and Quality SmileSolar watch eliminate the need for an eWaste battery, it is made partly from recycled products. Now that’s eco-chic 😉

I have found my Quest & Quality watch to be an extremely accurate timekeeper. Of course, I watched my iPhone time in order to make sure it is keeping time, and it is! I also found it worked even when the sun was not shining. It seems to hold it’s charge for a long time! Love!

I am excited about my Quest and Quality SmileSolar watch and have decided this watch collection is perfect for giving as gifts this holiday season! I cannot wait to surprise my loved ones on Christmas morning with fabulous watches by Quest & Quality.

I would also like to give a shout-out to the faux fur jacket I am wearing in the photos above. It is really soft, warm, and cozy. It is perfect on cold days! I cannot wait to wear it more often this fall, and upcoming winter season. It also comes in ivory, and would make a great holiday gift. It’s under $250!
