My current autumn obsession is faux fur coats. I. Love. Them.
There’s something so old hollywood glamour about fur coats. Very 1920s nostalgia. They are bold and also feminine. They represent a former time and place, and everyone knows that I have a particular obsession with that era. As in if I was from any other time, I feel like it resonates with me. Do you ever feel that way about an era and just think, yes I’ve probably been reincarnated and come from that time period? I always have this weird sensation with 1920s, specifically in Paris. Does that sound completely mad?
A few years ago, my grandma gave me one of her very real furs. While I’d never buy a real fur today, I’ll always cherish that she wanted me to have it. I have yet to find an occasion to wear it, but someday.
Obviously, it’s 2016 and the world is a wiser place. We can get faux fur now, which is a much better option.
Faux fur is fashion piece that every woman should have in their wardrobe. They are cosy and warm and it makes me feel like I’m wearing a blanket. Bonus points for looking chic af.
When I was in Zara (a.k.a. my favourite higher end store on high street) a few weeks ago, I knew I had to have this little number. I’m not saving it for a special occasion, this is about to become my nights and weekend staple. I’d say it’s a one for work, but I’m always carrying a giant tote bag with me and honestly, it was messing with the fur. The fur definitely requires a slinky little crossbody to pair alongside.
Also, these are actually my all time favourite jeans from Paige denim. I’ve worn them so often that I’ve stuck my foot completely through one of the strategic rips and made it even worse. But they fit me like a glove and make me feel amazing. I know that these puppies are an absolute investment. I think because I’m such a lover of denim and jeans are my out of work go-to that I always will pay a bit extra for an excellent pair. Mind you, I’ve had beauties from Forever21, Zara and H&M too. They’ve just never lasted me as long.
So what do you think? Faux furs this autumn?
