Crystallized Christmas

 

When it comes to Christmas celebrations, I don’t know about you- but all I can think about is; sequins and embellishment. I just want to leave a trail of glitter, pearls and crystals everywhere I step. As we extend into winter there is an apparent affection towards opulent, dramatic accessories. Although they are mainly seen as the finishing touch, they release a fantasy within fashion. We want to embrace the seasonal sparkle through endless accessorising in lavish/luxurious jewellery. I’m currently fantasising on what form of embellishment I will be wearing on New Year’s Eve, if I could have it my way I would wear a chandelier! Now that would certainly stand out.

Anyway, here are a few snaps from my festivities.

Spring Fur

Seriously what is with this freaky weather?! First it’s hot-snow-rain-hail, then more rain all within a month. I just don’t know what to wear anymore as its Spring BUT I’M FREEZING!

Today I went to see a lovely, elderly lady across my road called Andy, she's French and oh gosh she has a vintage wardrobe to die for! I was thrilled when she let me come over to have a look at her fur collection! I went over to photograph her clothes for my uni work but I ended up leaving with a bag full of furry treats! This bag of furry treats consisted of a Beaver fur hat, a Sable fur collar (over 100 years old) and a Sable hand muff! I’m so spoilt and I will wear them all with pride- Thank you Andy!

I know it’s silly to think of the idea to wear fur in Spring time but I just wanted to show some of it off to you, to be honest with this awful chilly weather why the hell not?!

This is the Sable Fur collar she gave me- paired with a vintage dress I made ages ago from a child’s petty coat. Red clutch- Vintage shop in Paris, Belt- Michael Kors, Short Necklace- Jaeger, Long necklace- from Turkey, Tights- Henry Holland, Shoes- Kurt Geiger.

Keeping to the Paris theme I bought this Fox fur cropped jacket in Paris years ago- still to this day I have never worn it out the house- NAUGHTY!

Sable Fur hand Muff

And yes I am aware it would be absolutely obscene to wear the hand muff in Spring time- BUT HOW CUTE IS IT!?

You may think I have gone mad with all this Fur chat! I blame the sun, where the hell are you???
