As a marked chill permeates the air here in the Northeast, CC thought it was time for fur - both faux and non... The toppers come in nearly every color of the rainbow and in styles ranging from traditional coats to kicky boleros. The handbags and boots? Even more fantastical! Enjoy!For more fab ermines and minks: Fellow Fashionista The Fashion Smoothie had a wonderful roundup recently. See it here.

What do you think the artist is trying to say?
Do you feel passionately about fur?

I must tell that I'm against fur.
ReplyDeleteWell against what they do to animals to get their fur.
(But I'm no fundamentalist, if I lived in North Pole and needed very much to make a fur coat, well the animal that I would hunt will be to eat and to dress)
But I love love love a GOOD faux fur, so soft and cozy.
Very nice the stuff you picked, thank you for sharing with us, beauty.
Was your B-day great???

faux fur all the way for me :)
ReplyDeleteExcelent! I love it. :)
ReplyDeleteFM
Real fur's a big no for me, but I'm all for faux fur!
ReplyDeleteAnd I think real vintage fur can be a gray area... I wouldn't wear it myself, but it doesn't seem quite as bad...
I am a weasel and so I have an anti-ermine, weasel and mink policy( we musteladae have to stick together).
ReplyDeleteI do wear some vintage fur. But,I don't think I could ever get myself to buy a new fur. I am just too squemish about it. I do appreciate the beauty of furs and I do like them best on the animals.
I love how luxurious fur feels, but I don't think my wallet or my conscience would let me buy any. :-)
ReplyDeleteIt's faux fur all the way for me (although, my Mum wore fur when she was a teen in the 60s but she lived in Poland where it was absolutely freezing and I don't think they had the technology to produce faux yet)
ReplyDeleteI think the Not Vital work could have many interpretations - for me it seems to be making a point about the evolving man who is now relatively 'hairless and clean' who requires the fur and animal to survive - he's too fragile without it.
wouldn't buy a new fur, but love me some fake fur! These are really fun choices, however.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a fur fan, but I'll admit that some of these designs are great.
ReplyDeleteOh, I love fur. I prefer to wear vintage a) because it's sustainable b) affordable and c) the killing was done before I was born. Having said this, I'm not a vegetarian, I wear leather and I live in Canada. I'm not opposed to wearing fur.
ReplyDeletetodas esas pieles estan fabulosas...... gracias por pasar por mi blog y por tus opiniones.... besos
ReplyDeleteLOVE this post. I neeeed to get my hands on some serious fur really soon, it gets brutally cold up here in canada and my time is running out!
ReplyDeletelove your blog!

I'm pretty against fur myself.
ReplyDeletei want one!!!!
ReplyDeleteI only use faux fur cos of those poor animals...Besides, I'm too poor for real fur!
ReplyDeleteBut this is a great post CC! I don't think fur would look nice as skirts but as coat collars or that brown piece around the model in the simple black top..Oooh...Definitely tickles my fancy :)
xo
I love one of those shrugs. I don't have an issue with real fur any more than I have with leather. I keep animals as pets, eat them and wear them. What can I say?
ReplyDeletemarni number is sweet. I was never a fur wearer but I'm kinda looking for mauve, dusty pink faux fur. wait a little maybe.. when it gets cooler in may next year I might have something ready.
ReplyDeleteI'd go with faux.
ReplyDeleteoh i really want a new fur coat, nothing beats it for the cold miserable winter! faux of course :)
ReplyDeleteHiiiii
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your wishes dear ....
I had an amazing wedding and i'm still enjoying my newly wed honeymoon days..hihi..
take care,
xoxo
Lucy and Raymond
I totally lvoe this fur look right now but only if it's faux!
ReplyDeleteP.S.Thanks my dear for the link ☺
Fur :( :( Faux's alright... but real... not so good!!
ReplyDeletethere is something very chic about fur if done right...but personally i can't see myself wearing anything but the faux kind
ReplyDeleteoooooo fur.... one tricky subject.... glad you raised this subject here...
ReplyDeleteConsidering I am terrified with the idea of animal skinning, I would never buy a brand new fur coat from a store, so not to stimulate this kind of economic activity.... But then, there is still one question that remains to be answered.....: What do you do with vintage fur coats? The animal is already dead. No new animal will die if you pick it up at a thrifting shop.... Would you buy it or burn it?
Thinking this will be my next poll at CN....
It's not easy to wear but I definitely love fur. Can't wait for the cold!
ReplyDeleteI like (fake) fur... but cannot see myself int it. And it's a shame: I found a lovely jacket for 10 euros in a 2nd hand shop and I cannot get myself to buy it, because I don't know what I'd do with it... coward!
