Tuesday's Top Four....Faux Furs


Winter is approaching thick and fast, which means time to snuggle up with a little (faux) fur number.  The highstreet has finally sorted itself out and found faux fur pieces that don't make you look like a scraggy cat, or molt everytime you walk, leaving a trial of wirey fur in your trail (so not a good look).  Instead they are sophisticated, luxe, soft and very strokeable; with pieces out there to suit every budget. 

Here are four of my favourites currently on the rails this week.

Animal Print Faux Fur Collar £13 Topshop
I love this little shrug, it makes me feel very Christmasey (new word for you there!).  I can imagine a sophisticated New Yorker wearing this down 5th Avenue.  This would be a lovely item to wear with a party dress, or at a winter wedding.  And at £13 this is a real Topshop bargain.
Longline Chevron Gilet £75 Topshop
This light grey snuggle fest is sooo Kim Kardashian.  Think cream blouse, skinny jeans, knee high boots and a floppy felt hat and you've nailed the perfect Saturday shopping trip in winter look.
Orange Jacket with Fur Hood £34.99 Zara
(available in ages 6 months to 3 years)
Just imagine your little pumpkin all snuggled up in this jacket - how adorable would they look!  This is a fabulous coat, with plenty of detailing - piping, buttons and buckles (very Stella McCartney Kids) 



Long, knitted waistcoat with faux fur front panels and brown belt H&M £19.99
This is currently the favourite item in my wardrobe, I really like the length and colour and the softness of the fur.  I keep finding myself stroking my chest (note to self, must try not to do this whilst walking round Sainsburys!) This is a great item if you want to try out the fur look, but don't want to invest a lot of money in it.

Play with texture and have fun with your wardrobe by rocking some fur this winter (faux only of course, leave the minks with the skin on their backs please - P.Diddy I'm talking to you!)
