Where do you stand on the issue of faux fur? 
I was reading a column the other day where the author frowned on any use of faux fur. She felt that looking like you were wearing animal fur of any sort – even fake – was unsettling. I will admit that I am not a fan of certain types of faux fur.  I can’t explain exactly why, but wearing anything that is supposed to look like pony fur, for example, feels wrong to me personally.

Lulus Fashion Lounge is a clothing boutique in the downtown area of my town – Chico, California. It’s a favorite stop for both myself and my daughters. They have a great selection of cute and affordable clothing, shoes, bags, makeup, and accessories. They also have a collection of ever-changing vintage items.
Here are few of the items currently available in their online shop:

I try to share a good amount of vintage clothing and accessories. I do this for a couple of reasons. One, I am a fan of the design, particularly anything that has a sort of flower child look to it.

Etsy weekend…..Today I have some beautiful vintage clothing  from JessJamesJake. The fun of dressing in vintage clothing comes from the thrill of the hunt, locating that perfect treasure.

A lovely white 1950’s silk slip. They are calling it a Slip Dress. It’s a vintage size 36 with a lace top, sheer net underlay, an empire waist, and a short lace-trimmed skirt. It was manufactured by Fortrel & Fybrite.

How about a fabulous Mod dress in navy and cream, circa 1960s. Simple style, it features an interesting button detail on the sides. This dress makes me think Sexy Stewardess. Best fit for sizes …read more

It stormed today in Toronto! The first snow day of the year. Unfortunately, it wasn’t light, fluffy, pretty snow but that slushy gross stuff. I’m sure I would have enjoyed it more if I had one of these cute hats by ekoChic.

They are made out of recycled vintage cashmere sweaters. I love the bright color combinations and their wide variety of choices.
