Fur Question
I have a friend who recently asked me about the way she could wear her fur coat… She wasn’t even sure if she would ever wear it in public. When? Where? and the most important question here is HOW?
I immediately fired at her that she MUST wear it and that it was almost a crime not to wear it. (as a side note: I adore animals and if there is a way I can stop people from killing these adorable creature, I will do it! But I think that my refusal to wear the fur will in no way prevent the kill of poor animals. It’s been over thousand years that humans wear fur and…at least for now I can’t change the society)
OK, back to my discussion.
What really interests me is how many ways there are to wear your fur coat (or to upgrade your old one).The first and most obvious thing which will instantly change the look of your coat is (of cause) a belt: choose the one with metal studs and you will get an edgier style with a rock’n'roll vibe, choose a classic belt and there you have a classic style, choose a thin and patent leather belt and here you go – a coat with a slight feminine touch! These are only a few of the variations with which I can come up right now, but if you give it a deeper thought – you can make up your unique way to wear a coat with your unique belt.
The next thing is the sleeves. You can roll then up and get the 3/4 length – to show off your gloves. If you are ready to get to the extreme measures with your coat then you can just cut them off and get a cool sleeveless jacket… like this one 
on the picture.
You can make the shoulders bigger – in the 80′ies style, however this particular modification requires that the entire wardrobe conceptually matches the coat – there is a huge chance that the coat by itself will look just ridiculous rather than stylish! So watch out with shoulders!
What else? I can think of adding some cool brooches (bot they must be proportional – not too small and not too big). I like the ones that combine small and big chains may be in different colors.
Over all , I think that the idea of a fur coat is coming back this season (at least in my wardrobe). As a funny example of how fur affect today’s style is this Opening ceremony collection for the release of the Where The Wild Things Are book this October where furs (even though faux ones) are in the center of attention…

Question of the day: Victoria Beckham’s style is glam or slam?
I see her on all the different blogs and fashion news portals – people admire her style, they call her a fashion icon. I must be insane to say that I don’t buy it. I really don’t think that she has any kind of extraordinary sense of style. All I can say is that she looks great and always pulled together – what is not very hard when you have that much money! BUT she is boring to me. She has no edge. I don’t try to criticize her but give me a break…Why people think that she is a fashion icon!!!? Her standard outfit: YSL tribute platforms, some sort of a Oscar de la Renta dress with a super tight waist, huge sunglasses and an assortment of Hermes Birkin or Kelly bags. There are some variations on the theme…sometimes…rarely I’d say. So, please explain to me the Victoria Beckham effect? What is so special in the way she styles her cloths?
The question of the day.
I have spent couple of months this summer traveling in Europe and have come to a conclusion that North American market is in need of diversity. All that said, my question is the following: why there is no colored or even perfumed toilet paper in Canada?
May be I sound pathetic but it’s the fact that I loved going through tones of different colors and scents of toilet tissues. I even brought couple of packages of Zewa green apple paper back with me to Montreal! And indeed my friends adore it!
Do you have any suggestions why there is no such a thing in Canada?
