Tis the season for faux fur

#Blogmas

On the thirteen day of Christmas...


I realise how much I love fur.

Winter is my favourite season of the year for many reasons: the delicious food, hot chocolates in front of log fires, champagne flowing, everywhere looking beautiful and sparkly and of course the fact that it is the season for snuggles...
but mostly because winter fashion is one of my favourite things in the world.

One of my top favourite fashion must haves for this season among leather boots, wooly hats, thick coats and tweed everything is…

FUR.

I know that fur is a touchy subject but I would just like to emphasise the fact that despite my love of the fur fashion trend, I do not condemn the exploitation of animals. I instead opt for the more preferable, affordable and moral alternative, faux fur (fur made from synthetic fibers designed to resemble fur). This way you can look fantastic, be so incredibly warm in the harsh weather but not have to worry about any cute furry animals being harmed!

Here are a few of my absolute favourite faux fur pieces this winter

(Lots of high street shops are stocked with them but I usually opt 
for Topshop or ASOS).

Topshop







Bambi faux fur mittens (£22) and muff (£17) from Topshop! What could be cuter!



Especially knowing that little Bambi is happy and untouched!


Some of my other this season Topshop favs include...



Clockwise from top left: Maribou feather collar £45, Lux twist fur snood £25, Boxy mink fur gilet £25, Midnight blue lux velvet earmuffs £12, Fur embellished headband £20).

 ASOS









Clockwise from top: ASOS faux fur crop stole £65, ASOS faux fur funnel snoot £17.50, River Island black faux fur and stud shopping bag £45, Monki Chiara Luxurious Faux Fur Hood £25).



This is number one on my Christmas list - I know some people might find it tacky but with the right clothes and accessories I think this could look incredible.

Just remember though girls...

'Saving animals is as simple as choosing synthetic alternatives instead of real fur.'
