update a coat or sweater fast with harcourt's fur bracelets

Monday, January 26, 2009

We fell for the fur cuffs at Balenciaga's pre-fall presentation, but they won't hit stores until, oh, June. May, if we're lucky. If, like us, you lack the patience to procure Nicolas Ghesquière's giant wrist warmers, snap on a pair of beauty guru Eileen Harcourt's surprisingly inexpensive fox versions. Each band of plush fur is backed in velvet and functions like an old-school slap bracelet, so there's no itchy Velcro or difficult clasps. Even better, they're completely adjustable to fit over anything from turtlenecks to winter coats. The only thing better than chic, affordable accessories? Immediate gratification.
