Trench Chic

I love the look of fur but I don’t think that I can ever wear real fur. I love fuzzy animals too much and I don’t think that it is necessary to hunt animals down just  for their fur alone. There are cultures/people out there that hunt, eat and use animal fur for survival purposes. This I am ok with.

Thank goodness for faux fur. I found this look on Garance Dore’s blog and I love how the colour of the model’s skin is enhanced by her beautiful fur collar. She looks so warm and cozy and gorgeous of course!

The monochromatic look is always so chic and will never go out of style.

I love everything about this collection. A little steep for my liking but I am sure that we can all get inspired (and find more affordable alternatives!).

Enjoy!

I’ve always loved Alice in Wonderland editorials.  Many magazines have done their own playful take (I believe that I have an old issue of Glamour Mag from 10 years ago that did a pastel coloured, fun version full of butterflies, teacups and all things pretty)  but Annie Leibovitz’s Alice is the most “grown-up” and sophisticated version that I’ve seen. Natalia Vodianova rocks the shoot and is  paired with the cream-of-the-crop designers in the industry.

I am looking forward to Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland due out in March of 2010. I LOVE Tim Burton’s films. There is always an element of fantasy, old world charm, darkness and fairy tale in his art work.

Starring Johnny Depp, Alan Rickman, Helena Bonham Carter, Anne Hathaway and Mia Wasikowska.
