style # 3 : everyday fur

While I can't get behind the for "real" versions of the gorgeous pieces above, I love a touch of fur in a winter ensemble.  The softness of a faux mongolian lamb vest or a mink-like scarf is a perfect add-on when the wind is really biting outside, and sometimes a full on leopard coat is just the thing to top off a simple outfit.

Oh I'm sorry, you mean you don't wear fluffy fur coats to go to the bank and the pharmacy and Wal-Mart on Thursdays? Well, I normally don't either, but tell me, what else am I supposed to wear when it looks like this outside?

That's our actual tree. It took me nearly an hour to clean this off my car this morning (but don't worry, I wore Uggs for that.)

there is much to be done

Today is the one and only day of unemployment I've had since my sophomore year of college. I'm not one of those people that likes to sit around doing nothing - I think my free time is better enjoyed if I don't have ample amounts of it. So it's no surprise that today (although I did REALLY sleep in) I'm spending my day preparing to leave the country for a few weeks. Between doing laundry so I can pack, making sure every bill gets paid on time, and taking a ton of clothes to the goodwill - I'm sort of an anti-hoarder - I managed to fill up my "day off." Still, I think I'll be finished with all of my jobs just in time for happy hour!

You know, I understand that fur is a little extravagant for the everyday. Hell, I understand that it's a LOT extravagant for the everyday.

Sure, there are other options for truly frigid weather. Parkas, pea coats, hoodies, fleeces, trenches, they're all fine. But they're not l-o-v-e-l-y.

There is nothing as soft, as warm, or as pretty as a really fantastic fur.
