Vintage Fur WrapMy silly little soul is awfully confused with this dilemma: is vintage fur good or bad?

On principle, I’m against fur. But then vintage fur is a tad different story. I mean, the garment has been produced decades ago and the poor little animals have already given their lives to satisfy man’s vanity. Giving a vintage fur garment a new home is a way of making sure that they didn’t die in vain? Right?

Also, by buying this item off a gorgeous burlesque performer friend, I am (and I quote) ‘helping a poor showgirl eat‘. See, its for a good cause after all. *grins*

Mollini Helga pumps in taupeWhile I’m not too crazy about the silly lace thingie popping out of the back of this Mollini shoe, I fell in love with the colour and the texture of the lace covered satin. The stupid frill folds in easily and the shoes are a nice everyday office heel to spice up an otherwise tame outfit.

CUE Re-Collection Jacket

I found this stunning CUE Re-Collection jacket today. I wasn’t planning on buying one yet but you know how it is… when you see IT, you need to have it!

I have to say that I was very impressed with the CUE Re-Collection line in general. I found four jackets that I could have bought any of, and to be honest I nearly bought two!

A great hairdo for those hectic mornings!

Busy morning? Instead of just pulling your hair back as per usual, spend a few extra minutes and end up with this gorgeous look:

  1. use a bristled hair brush to tease roots around the crown area to create more volume
  2. smooth the surface and secure ponytail
  3. use a small strand of hair to cover the hairband
  4. curl the end of the ponytail with a single hot roller while finishing off makeup

So quick and easy – yet so irresitibly chic!
