Vintage Furry Ladies.

With fur making such a comeback this Fall, I wanted to share some of my favorite ladies in fur with you. It's been extremely hot here in Los Angeles this week, but looking at these photos is helping me cool off... Burr!

Seriously, what looks more glamourous than (faux) fur??

P.S. No animals were hurt during the posting of these photos ;)

  6. Wonderful photos - I especially love the second one. The black and white images are so glamorous.

    I know a lot of people who are adverse to fur (not necessarily just real fur, I suppose it's just a matter of what it looks like to them), but I've always thought it was so beautiful and wonderfully vintage and luxurious at the same time. I would love to get a little fur vest for Fall (I'm hoping Topshop will have some...) to pair over long-sleeved sweaters and ruffled blouses.

    P.S. DSW is the best, isn't it? You're right - their sale section is fantastic!

  10. I love the luxurious look of fur... brings you back to the day of old hollywood glamour. Too bad I live in FL and would only be able to wear it for like 4 days out of the year! I'd be scared though of the PETA people coming after me (even though I'd never wear real fur).

    I don't know if you watched the girls next door, but I was so jealous when they all got those gorgeous fur coats for christmas...
