The winter chill is not all bad, especially when there is plenty to be cosy about.
This season the shearling jacket, faux or real, seems to be dominating the horizon.
I was debating whether to mention these fuzzy furs after the white boots yesterday – many weren’t convinced they were a good idea – but I will, because I absolutely love our chats when we get involved and agree to disagree. I appreciate we aren’t all on the same page and the interaction that flows from this is where my ideas to show and tell originate – without that I would be working away in a vacuum and that is no fun.
It’s the best.
Back to today.
What about faux shearling and the like?
It’s another trend I won’t spend big on but it is one to consider, especially as a prop for weekend and casual wear. Yes, the real thing is heavenly too and that is a matter for personal preference.
Shearling can be worn inside or outside on the coat, depending on how much you like the shaggy sheep look.
Yes, I like it. The winter white appeals to me worn with jeans or with the black standby, not to mention as a foil for khaki. Then there is the colourful shearling, which is totally fun on a bleak and rainy day in London. I can a see this would be a total mood lifter.
And about the pugs.
Our family has totally fallen in love with a little fellow called, Marloe. When I saw the Vuitton campaign featured here, I couldn’t resist; I had to show you. Ours is a black pug, with the sweetest personality ever. Actually he isn’t really mine, he belongs to my daughter, but that doesn’t change a thing. It’s true love.
Marloe would be delightfully happy to snuggle up with me, wearing the cosy. That is one very good reason for a new coat. ;) Don’t you think?
