GREAT PRETENDERS

October 14, 2008

The most fabulous fauxs!

Girls, when it comes to authenticity, trust your sixth sense! Under no circumstances do we advocate mingling with fakes--whether friends or foes. This season, however, we've uncovered a myriad of exotic faux skins on accessories that are authentically hot!

POSSIBLY PYTHON!
Watch out! Printed python is consuming handbags, belts, and shoes with a vengeance! The Calvin Klein Shiny Python Wristlet, made of embossed leather, is sleek and chic. Wrap a BCBG Max Azria Leather Belt around your waist, and you're daringly done!

MOCK CROC!
Richly textured crocodile? No, try a magnificent mock croc that'll make you stop in your tracks--fearlessly, of course! This embossed leather Stuart Weitzman Zipzip Hobo Handbag has dual shoulder straps that are decoratively studded. For a hint of color, we love the beautiful ruby red patent cowhide Kate Spade Knightsbridge Charlotte Tote.

MORE METALLIC!
If glitz and glam are more your speed, rise to the occasion! This gold Coach Marlla Python Printed Metallic Leather Wedge, with a four-and-a-half-inch heel, was made for you! Whew!

No faux pas here!
