Fur + Mini

Loving this new faux fur panelled coat which Santa brought me. Also, this dress is one of my favourites. I picked it up in a vintage shop a couple of years ago. It was originally full length, which also looked fab, but I decided to style it into a super short mini - I'm short, minis suit me better. 

SLR still out of action so having to experiment with instagram I'm afraid!

Russian Winter

This shoot by Mariano Vivanco for the November issue of Vogue Russia is my inspiration for my winter wardrobe (substitute faux fur!) I love how the model, Maryna Linchuk, has been draped in heavy duty fur, flowing maxis, scarves + jewels. I used to have a Russian hat like the one in the first shot when I was about fourteen + I loved it and wore it incessantly for three winters until I lost it. However, it's the paisley, peasant prints that steal the show for me in this shoot. Also, the belt in the last shot? I need to find something similar.

On the subject of fur though, I just can't bring myself to wear the real thing. My granny had the most incredible full length fur coat and although she passed away nearly 17 years ago, it still hangs in her wardrobe. I've tried it on and it looks amazing, but I know I will never wear it. It's faux fur all the way for me!
