Furry Friends

This season, and like many before, is an exciting season for girls like me as it has seen the return of the Winter staple and my personal favourite fashion piece to exist - the fur coat. Any girl who knows sophisticated chic in these bleak months, particularly if you live in bleak Britain, will tell you that the fur coat is a must for any girl who is serious about what she wears. The Autumn/Winter 2014 shows such as Nina Ricci, Topshop Unique, Pucci, Elie Saab to say the least were all showing lashes of fur tops, accessories (furry clutch? Yes, please), gilets and leather mixed coats in their catwalk collections. And it's not only the designers who are setting these trends but celebrities and models are following suit, such as Karmen Pedaru who was seen wearing a beautiful emerald fur piece at New York Fashion Week earlier this year.
For a go-to chic outfit with your fur coat, sport the piece with leather leggings, (here are some from ASOS) then add a silky blouse (a Topshop drape front blouse here), some snake print boots (Missguided ones here) and some black sunnies. Effortless chic, check.
