Fur.


Would you rather go naked than wear fur? I'd like to think that most people, except those who have views such as People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), would rather wear fur, or at least have an appreciation for it.
My close friend has a huge passion for fur and is often overwhelmed with excitement and joy when she sees a fur coat or fur cropped jacket. 
"..look at this amazing fur jacket.. this is the one that i've been looking for, i must have it.."
Even though i would never wear fur myself, unless it's to a dress-up party, i share the same excitement that my friend has. We both get a tad over-excited whenever we see fur, be it in a magazine, on the shoulders of the lady across the road, styled in one of the latest Vogue or Grazia photo shoots, or in our local vintage store, etc.
Yes, they may all look the same and feel the same to you, but to my friend each jacket is never the same, one week it's a leopard fur knee-length coat, then the next it's a cropped brown faux fur jacket. That could be the jacket that i make her wear to the next party, her next date, or even down to the supermarket. Fur is timeless and can be worn anywhere. It completes a look, and doesn't necessarily have to be for the Royal.
