FURRRRY WINTER

It's going to be one furrrrrry winter! What other way to bundle up than a great fur (faux) jacket? I understand the controversy of people wearing real fur, but I strongly believe in people having the right to wear whatever they want. Myself on the other hand, do love a fantastic faux fur and it's one of my obsessions. Yes, yes, I know I'm obsessed with many different things (shoes, jackets, leather, the list just goes on). So, for me to use the word "obsessed" is a tad much, but I'm only proving a point of how insanely over the top obsessed I am. 

I live in Southern California, so wearing a fur coat makes absolutely NO sense, but why does fashion have to make sense right? It's an expression of who you are or who you want to be that day. If a fur coat molds into my personality and style for that particular day, I mean gosh darnit I'm going to wear it! And with confidence, may I add! While I ignore the head turns and stares. 

I know I just had the whole shhhhpeal of wearing what you want condfidently, but at the same time make sure that outfit you got makes sense even though it's your fashion right to not make any sense, makes sense? 

I'm saying, stick to your winter and summers separately, don't mix a summer skirt that's clearly borderline for the beach and pair it with a fur coat. Oh no! No! No! No! That's a quadruple times over type of NO!

THE CHIC CARLOTTA ODDI

Everyone knows by now that Carlotta Oddi is not only Anna Dello Russo's assistants, but she's unbelievably chic. The young Italian gal is by far one of my fashion inspirations. With her boss being extremely eccentric with everything she wears, it's a shock that Oddi stays true to her own personal style. Her style stamp has definitely been recognized in the industry.

It has to do with the way she puts everything together, the end result is a product that looks unique and not picked out from a catalog. Now, THAT is what you call "personal style" and Oddi is a great example of making pieces morph into your outfit and closet to make it your own.
