Fur or Faux

Brrrrrrrrrrrrr!



It was 28 degrees this morning in New York.  Definitely makes me regret dropping all my fur coats off for a little TLC last week.  While I was talking to my furrier Anne Dee Goldin (by appointment via adg@goldin44.com or 917-282-6626), I inquired if she could rework vintage furs into blankets and she said anything is possible.  She just used the old hem of a client's shortened coat to make pillows. The reason I asked was because Howard Slatkin had told me that he had his mother's old minks turned into blankets.  I know some of you are very anti-fur but it's eco-friendly to be able to take a vintage fur and modernize it either into a blanket or pillows especially if it has sentimental value. But there is always the faux fur option.  Bunny Williams Home has a great option as does Pottery Barn.

IT WAS 28 DEGREES HERE THIS MORNING

INSPIRATION IF YOU NEED IT
"Slips, in short, are awesome. In the winter, a slip can keep a cozy dress from clinging to sweater tights. In the summer, a slip acts as a barrier between your sweaty butt and a breezy skirt. Now that I’ve earned a little fat, I’m thrilled to share with you the fact that a slip and a good bra is the secret to looking Mad Mencurvy without the use of anything that can be described as a “contraption.” Sheer dress? A slip is the ultimate layering piece. Cold day? How about another piece of fabric to keep you warm? Have I sold you on it yet?"
THIS IS A DARLING BLOG CALLED ROOKIE AND THIS IS FROM HER POST " LITERALLY SLIPS ARE THE BEST THINGS EVER".  AND HER PHOTOS OF FAMOUS WOMEN IN SLIPS ARE FOND REMINDERS OF LINGERIE AT ITS BEST.
