Faux is Fine

Here it comes; that dreaded cool winter air. Dear lord. That means she has to wear actual pants. No more skirts or dresses without tights, no being free unless you want to freeze. But, there is one good outcome of this chilly weather storming the cities... fur. No, not real fur. I'm talking the cheap $25 on sale modacrylic fur that us cheapos have come to know and love. 

ABOUT THE LOOK: Ohhhh goodness it is getting cold. Just yesterday I woke up to the streets lined with snow. That means no shorts... just leggings and fur coats! And can we talk about this for just a second? Just talk about fur? I absolutely love fur coats (faux is fine!). Not to mention that it is absolutely everywhere this winter and I am so psyched for that!

 

 

 

I Always Feel Childish

She's on  a merry-go-round. Why? Because she feels like it, that's why. She's going to spin and spin and spin until her photographer makes her get off because her face has gone from her normal pallid pale to a ghastly green. She starts off so serious, but her childish demeanour always prevails in the end. What a smile.

ABOUT THE LOOK: I wanted to show you all some of my new clothes, but it was freezing the day we took these pictures. Actually, below freezing. Andrea went home with fingers so red a tomato would make fun of them and all I wanted was hot cocoa and a few thousand pounds of blankets on me. Anyway, I got this coat at Rue 21 for only $10 (I actually got two of them, wait for my next post!). I stole Andrea's jeans because they were dark colored and matched my coat, and lastly, I have on my good old boots I got for Christmas. I can't wait until warmer weather!

BLOOPERS: I told you all it was coooooold outside when we took these pictures! Well, every time I took a breath, a nice thick cloud protruded out of my mouth. I thought I'd be able to get the fog breath on camera, alas, it didn't show. So, use your imagination and pretend that there's a big bunch of fog coming out of my pie hole.

Barratts Winter Wonderland I

What would you wear if you decided to go on a walk in a Winter Wonderland? Well, this is exactly what I would wear. Why sacrifice style for comfort? You shouldn't have to! The Axl Velvet Pants ($128.00) extend past the belly button and are sure to keep you warm! The Sliced Sleeve Knit Sweater ($68.00) may not look to warm, but will look super cute after you take the oh-so cozy and oh-so stylish Dip Dye Faux Fur Jacket ($228.00) off after your stroll in the white snow. Don't forget the shoes though! All the way from Barrats online store, these Rieker Ankle Boots With Zip Trim (£65.00) will keep your toesies warm and lookin' incredibly fine when strutting through the snow! Lastly, the Acess Envelope Style Clutch Bag (£13.00) will hold your phone, iPod and backup mistletoe;)
