Bargain Styling Mission: Hunt down the hot trend for fall- pebbled skin
In this month’s Elle magazine one of their Elle fashion trends was pebbled skin. Of course, almost all of the examples they give were of real crocodile and had price tags in the triple digits. Not really being a fan of either real animal skin nor being able to afford it, I went on a faux hunting trip to find one of this season’s hottest trends.
First stop, the usual suspects. Forever 21 didn’t really have anything on their site. The fifteen dollar store only had snake. Delia’s mainly deals in patent leather. I did manage to find a few cute bags at target.com. Below is one of my favorites.
The last stop was gojane.com where I did find several croc items. One being a pair of hot red croc heels.
Go Jane Red Croc Heels $20.90
Go Jane Metallic Print Animal Bag $15.99
I was a little disappointed that I didn’t find any faux croc bangles similar to what I picked up at the NYC wholesale district. I will be putting those with outfits for OutFitKit very soon.

Old Navy is crammed with pebbled skin accessories right now. I couldn’t believe the big croc jewel toned tote I found there that looked way more expensive than it was.

Well,
I have to buy some for my gf. Hope they are not too expensive
