Circa Vintage Fur Coat

MY SILHOUETTE WINTER DAYS of 1920 to 2011

Since Spring is nearing and Winter is nearly over, I thought I'll squeeze in what kept me most warm during the rush of autumn leaves that bled away. I divulge that I have a fondness for fur coats, I every so often receive a chuckle and a laugh from my family friends, owing to them witnessing me sporadically  wearing  three various winter fur coats, maybe it's because, they know I have a penchant for black and white films and pearl beads! 

Above all though, the coat can be quite practical and warm, albeit the downside is they're heavy and weighty, and I quickly become dispirited walking long distance. My favorite aspect of this coat is that It combines two of my loves- LEATHER + 1920'S/1930'S VINTAGE with the added icing of faux fur. I think all women from time to time want to feel indulgent and grandiose and I think I'm too guilty of this, thus why I slip on a fur coat, when winter seems disparaging. - It's My Winter Treat

I normally don't couple this black Valentino leather bag with the coat, but I needed to transport my work goods.

God Save The Queen

BRITISH HUNKY-DORY

Another dose of Japanese vision and flair with the customized leather jacket by ilil , it is likely inspired by the nearing Royal Wedding. A lofty usage of printed gold 50p coins displaying Queen Elizabeth, somewhat leaving a punk England sentiment.  

Residing from the U.K and England, it's probably natural that I don't find anything England related as fascinating as other non British folk, though I have noted over the last decade, the union jack flag is favored fashionably on many products as well as many other British memorabilia. Alexander McQueen further, played a huge impact of galvanizing the trend for red, white and blue with his God Save McQueen Union Jack collection. Here are a few British inspired driblets below.

I usually prefer, keeping away from wearing any Union Jack apparel, unless the World Cup is around, though I would make the exception for Katie Eary British Bulldog Print T-Shirt LFW S11. Seen below featuring a graphic bulldog and Union Jack screen print to the front, with a gold plated metallic studding.
