Fur: friend or faux?

Due to popular demand (and by popular demand, I mean a single text from a friend lol)- I thought I'd dedicate a post to FUR! I want to emphasize that I'm a huge animal lover, so faux is definitely the way to go for this trend.

Admittedly, I've been sort of on the fence when it comes to the fur craze. It can be difficult to pull of this look without... how to put this gently... looking like a nightwalker, hehe. Also, some fur pieces can be overwhelming and add too much volume to an otherwise petite frame. However, when paired with delicate, feminine patterns and pieces- fur can look fab!

Fur pieces make a statement; avoid creating a smorgasbord of fur, bulky accessories and loud patterns. If you're on the shorter side like myself, it's also important to pick pieces that won't add a ton of bulk (no one wants to look like a fuzzy Oompa Loompa!). Here's how I rocked the look last week...


Here's some more inspiration (the first one is a bit of a trend mashup, but meh... it works if you live in Parkdale!):






If you're like me, you probably don't want to invest a fortune in fast fashion. Here are some affordable pieces from TopShop and Forever XX1...



Happy Monday xoxo
