I love fur and this editorial is just beyond. I can only dream of ever touching all that fur. I can just see myself cuddled up at home on the couch with a lush fur coat and a comfy pair of sweats. Among other things 😉

Yeah, I just made that word up.
Furnatic \fur-na-tic\ n, adj:Â someone who is crazy about the fur of various animals.
I used to think fur was tacky due to numerous accounts of seeing it worn the wrong way and the many badly designed fur that’s out there. Tacky fur manufacturers, you know who you are! I mean, some animal had to die to produce the fur. How cruel is it to be reincarnated as some gruesomely-dyed mink fur coat worn by a random New Jersey housewife. The horror!
I love animals so my love of fur is just irrational. I can’t even handle seeing deer hunting photos where the hunter is holding up the bull antlers like it’s something to be proud of to kill such a beautiful animal. Bambi, anyone? Hello.
That’s why I love faux fur, only when it’s impeccably made. It’s the perfect antidote to the animal cruelty that’s on a massive scale in China. Youtube “Peta” and you’ll find various videos on the subject. Though I hate seeing some rough interpretation of fox fur, and I do mean FOX as in a red fox not faux, which I see a lot of nowadays. Then that’s just a waste of material. Why waste time and effort on something ugly. Luckily, there are now some retailers that are doing very stylish faux fur. Love Rachel Zoe!
But there is nothing like the real thing:)
Here’s Sheila Marquez for Harper’s Bazaar Spain January 2011 issue:

I highly doubt any of the furs featured are faux.
Never heard of Sheila Marquez before but she’s gorg. The styling was perfect. And the photos are beautiful. I love this editorial, the styling and photo treatment reminds of French VOGUE. I wonder who the stylist was:)
Fur Fur Fur!!!!
I’m obsessed with fur. And like most of us, I can only dream of ever owning one in real life.
But still, one can dream. And dream, I will!

The image above is my favorite of the bunch. The spotted fur in middle is gorg. And the flyaway hair helps make it a spectacular shot.

The editorial above was in the November 2010 issue of American ELLE, shot beautifully by KT Auleta, and styled by the AMAZING Kate Lanphear.
Fur is such dominating piece of clothing that you wouldn’t wear it out to any such occasion. Or if you had the balls, wear it to the supermarket.
Me, I just wanna wear it at home, snuggled up in a humongous fur, eatting hot cheetos, while watching reruns of The Real Housewives of Atlanta. And let’s not forget, a huge cup of ice filled with Coca Cola.
