Fab Finding Follow-Up: Hitting the Slopes

FabSugar — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 15:00:08 -0800

It's been hectic for me these past couple months. After all the Fashion Week festivities, I'm promising myself a relaxing ski trip in Tahoe. I can't wait to kick back, drink hot chocolate in front of the fire, and hit the slopes. It's still a couple weeks away but it doesn't hurt to plan ahead. I asked you to help me find a cute cabin look for my little vacay in the mountains.

I started you off with these American Apparel Ear Muffs ($20) because the bright color will make it easy to spot me as I swoosh my way down the hill. Let's see what you conjured up!

Look #1, created by MashiaraQCS, is soft and cozy. Smart thinking on the waterproof boots!

Pink Fox Earmuffs: Love It or Hate It?

It is me or would these be a riot to wear? I have a thing for pom poms and adventurous headwear so I think these are Fab.

I came across these Fox Earmuffs ($85) and couldn't resist asking your opinion. What do you think: yay or nay?

Give Back the Fur

Buffalo Exchange is arguably one of the best used clothing stores around. With 32 locations in 11 states, its hip shops are a great place to buy, sell, and trade often good-as-new clothes. Now, the company is hosting a very cool program, called Coats for Critters, that lets you bring in any real fur or shearling apparel-maybe your mother's old mink stole or those rabbit-fur earmuffs you had as a kid-and donate it to the Humane Society's Coats for Cubs program.

The furs will be used as bedding and wraps to keep orphaned and injured wildlife warm. More than 200 wildlife rehabilitators in North America participate in the program. The Buffalo Exchange event runs through through Earth Day, April 22, 2007. I know a lot of FabSugar readers are anti-fur, but don't distress if there isn't a Buffalo Exchange store near you. You can also donate your fur directly to the Humane Society of the United States. To see where to send it (and claim a tax deduction!), read more

To donate, pack your furs-including coats, hats, gloves, and other items-in a sturdy box or padded envelop for smaller items. You can mail it to:

The Humane Society of the United States
2100 L St., NW
Washington, D.C. 20037
Attn: Coats for Cubs

To claim a tax deduction, you should also include a note in the box with your email or mailing address requesting an acknowledgment. The thank you letter should arrive in two to three weeks.
