Oui, it is real fur. Rabbit fur and fox tail collar. No I didn't kill it! But I am wearing it. Eat the meat use the skin: It's tremendously warm.

Itsfur

I'm still singing the above chorus whenever I wear this beautiful thing. It's getting terribly boring. I realise there is a big issue about fur, but come now....for who are you to judge when you wear leather and eat meat! You... that which moans and groans when you realise little thumpers are keeping me warm. Deep hypocrisy. It may shock you, but rabbit can be found on many a table and if you can it eat you can wear it. Use that as a rule when buying fur. Actually, it reminds me of an episode of River Cottage (rabbit skin undies, tie and something for the glasses), a nursery rhyme comes to mind: 'Run rabbit, run rabbit run run run',...before they kill, cook, eat AND wear you! The best yet has to be the stroking and the accompanying noise. Who thought Londoners were tactile...soon they may start smiling on the underground. But that noise and stroking is almost sexual. I was going to say sex for the fingers (what? finger sex?) but I imagine it's not the appropriate metaphor to use...shall we say silk to the touch instead? Oui

Fear not the winter

Wintry weather is somewhat a double edged sword for me. I detest being cold and the cold in general but I love the attire and the possibilities of it. Summer is a lot less imaginative. Simple really. At what time of the year can you adorn a coat, trousers or skirt or shorts, boots or courts, waistcoats, shirts, jumpers, gloves, scarf and a hat all in one outfit? It is a season equivalent of a layer cake, tres magnifique. An opportunity  to wear more than three items is an opportunity welcomed with streamers, banners, cheers and smily faces. I've already started embracing the climate change! I was so giddy to know it was raining (on Wednesday)...I haven't worn my Miss sixty boots since January, I'm sure they sing a sad Disney song when I leave the room. But nothing compared to the upbeat musical once they were on my feet. I never wear tights but I love how they feel (it's one of those Amelie things I love) AND I could still wear a dress. Wow wee, if this is a sign of things to come I'm well excited!
