I love saying that….faux fur. Anyway, since my wedding is in November, it’s going to be freaking cold here in NYC. And I am having some pictures taken outside (unless it rains). So I have been searching high and low for a faux fur stole to wear. Personally, I would prefer a fur coat, but then it won’t look “bridal.”

Unfortunately, I am too poor to buy real fur so shopping at places like Sak’s or Bloomingdale’s is out of the question. My next venue of choice? The Internet, of course!

The one thing that I found was that faux fur stoles or capelets are sold quite frequently on Ebay. Now, I don’t have anything against Ebay, but I am very wary of buying clothes, especially bridal clothes from Ebay. But they do have some nice ones for a great bargain.

Just type in Faux Fur Stole into the search line and you’ll get a ton of choices.

But like I said, I have a thing about buying clothes from Ebay. So I found this other site yesterday, and I actually talked to one of the people who work there.

Faux Mink Capelet
$58.00
Available in 5 sizes and 5 colors.

This company is located in California and offers a full 100% refund if you don’t like it. The gentleman that I spoke with did not know if I should order a size XS or S, but asked me to call back today to speak with another lady who would be able to tell me. I love retailers who don’t force you to buy things right away. He really seemed sincere and did not want to give me a wrong answer.

I will be purchasing this later today. Yay! Another thing checked off my to-do list! Also later today, I am picking up my wedding dress and getting my first fitting! Stay tuned for posts!
