Guilt trip

I just hit me that the end of my summer is around the corner, and although I thoroughly enjoy the warm weather, the easy  flowy dresses, and the sun baked skin I must admit there is nothing I love more than Fall fashion.


 It starts growing on me  about mid-August. It's sort of a mental thing right now nothing summery interests me, but instead my attention has been turned to something I am not very proud to admit.. fur.


I am aware that animals should not be slaughtered for the sake of fashion, but the coats are just so breathtaking that I find myself forgetting what they are made out of.


I have been reluctant to shop for one, because I find it somewhat unethical, but at the sight of an Oscar de la Renta I might perhaps start changing my mind. I feel guilty for even saying it!




To both be guilt free and satisfy my fashion craving I have decided that faux fur might just be the way to go.

.. and by the looks of the latest Chanel fall campaign it is resembling the real deal more than ever before. In fact its almost hard to tell the difference.







So what would you be this winter.

Will you be fur free or not?

Do it like a lady...

There must be a lot of happy Park Avenue ladies out there.. and a lot of angered PETA's. 
What was the number one "must have" item present in most Fashion week collections?..  FUR a lot of FUR.

Fur at Brian Reyes, Carolina Herrera, and Oscar de La Renta...
& speaking of...
These 3 designers plus Marchesa brought classy back to the runway.


Brian Reyes known for his prim & proper uptown girl dresses made sure his rep. stayed that way.  If his catwalk was an auction it would be sold sold sold!


























Carolina Herrera sure knows how to dress her socials. From the hats to the coats to the immaculate tailored pants the show was nothing but pure sophistication. 











Mr. De La Renta also toyed around with his signature classy looks, but this time more than ever they seemed youthful. Before I would think perhaps when I am 40, but this collection proved to be chic & ageless. 




Last is Marchesa & by far one of my favorites. It sort of reminded me of an Unkle Karl meets Galliano mix... which is certainly not a bad thing. It had the tattoo elements seen in Chanel's collection & the lingerie feel from Dior's.





Did I mention Marchesa always uses Louboutins??? The ones above are a sneak peak of Christian's fall collection.. and so far I approve.
