Bear Necessities

Ok ladies, it's finally time to put those bare legs away. After a schizophrenic fall/winter season like the one we've been experiencing on the East Cost, mother nature is taking control again and regulating the temperature back to the horrible frigid temps we're used to around this time of year. Cold season, winter blues obviously suck _________ (enter obscene body part here) so here's a fabulous solution that will make braving the REAL winter weather a bit more exciting...Yes you've guessed it...FUR!!! Check out these fab vintage styles (and a few modern looks) for modern inspiration.

Now or never, go get yourself an animal or a faux to cuddle with in this insanely bitter weather

Just Vintage

Tweed is such a classic winter style. With colors ranging from browns to grays, to blues, it is such a simple timeless statement piece. Instead of the tweed newsboy caps I used to see my uncles cover their balding heads with, a sexy version of a tweed pant suit is to die for. Layer with floral prints, and you have the perfect look to blow your colleges in the office away. Put a sophisticated twist on the school picture day floral get-ups your mother made you wear with matchy floral or printed suits and have the perfect happy hour look. Throw an inevitably warm fur in the mix, a touch of lace, and maybe a splash of red and you have Cavalli's F/W collection in a nutshell.

I am utterly and completely in love with the Just Cavalli 2011 - 2012 Fall/Winter Collection. This collection gave birth to a beautiful combination of tweed, floral, prints, lace, and furs. All of which are my fall/winter inspiration. The debut of this collection was earlier this year but seeing the newest editorial got me so excited I had to blog from work. Here are some of my favorite looks to warm up such a cold day...
