MY BEAUTIFUL, SEXY, FRENCH – INSPIRED MID – CENTURY WINTER COAT WITH FUR

MY BEAUTIFUL, SEXY, FRENCH - INSPIRED MID - CENTURY WINTER COAT WITH FUR

This is one of my very favorite coats because I LOVE the nipped waist and big, feminine collar. Really shows off the face and enhances your figure.

The mid-blue is nice, too. Not as many coats were made in this color as in the neutrals: black, brown, navy and grey. They’re all gorgeous, but this one is special. Remember, ONLY true vintage or faux fur are humane. Buying modern fur supports the cruel market.

Rarely have I seen a style like this – it is an unusual find. But, those are always the most intriguing . . . .. .. . . . . . . . . .

TIME TO GET SERIOUS ABOUT YOUR TRUE VINTAGE ENSEMBLE FOR ST. VALENTINE’S DAY

TIME TO GET SERIOUS ABOUT YOUR TRUE VINTAGE ENSEMBLE FOR ST. VALENTINE'S DAY

It’s just 13 days now till St. Valentine’s Day (& night!), so it’s time to get seriously ready! Two posts today, and let’s start from the outside and the shopping (?) trip.

Baby, it’s pretty cold outside most places so what to wear over your beautiful dress? How about this gorgeous heavy wool with mink collar and big decorative buttons, from the 1950’s?  Though I would NEVER buy a modern fur, I cherish my decades-old true vintage pieces and honor the spirits of the animals who gave them.

Nothing will keep you warmer, while looking like a Princess. It makes a hugely eye-catching statement, too – a real head-turner.  Also has a silky, red lining that glides over your skin and clothing and leaves you feeling really good . . . . . . . . .
