Here is part deux of post swap… left over photos from fur week! Check out the rest at Sarah of Pandora’s Box blog. I am very pleased with the results of mine and Sarah’s outfit experiment. It’s interesting to see how two different people style a look based around one concept–cropped (faux)fur in this case. Sarah does dark, enigmatic rocker with so much ease! And me, well I’m obviously deeply inspired by spring’s monochromatic look. I’m curious now to see how you guys wear this trend, send photos, links etc!

I may be taking this whole grunge look too far. Beanies and oversized parkas every day. Or maybe I can justify my seemingly languorous attitude towards dressing with the fact that I am wearing the most incredible fur collar. I realize that the whole real vs faux fur has caused a bit of a squabble, to put it lightly. But this piece belonged to my great grandmother and generations before that I’m sure. It’s family history, and it means a great deal to me, so yes I will keep wearing it despite the brouhaha it may cause. Curious, where do you guys stand on faux versus real?

I Should Have Taken Acid With You

My inspiration folder is overflowing with images. This little bunch is fairly old, and I couldn’t even tell you how I found them, but I find myself strangely drawn to them. An excess of feathers, beads, and furs seems all too perfect heading into festival season.

Happy New Years!!

I loved seeing long knit jumpers paired with thigh highs on the fall runways, and this faux cocoon shrug by Elizabeth and James seemed to fit the bill perfectly. Playsuits have the potential to seem young, but its fun to play up the Lolita effect with the leather thigh-highs. And I adore the lace-trim beret! It adds a touch of whimsy to the outfit, along with the bright bird cuff, and crystal flower clutch.
