Vintage fur – good or bad?

Vintage Fur Wrap

My silly little soul is awfully confused with this dilemma: is vintage fur good or bad?

On principle, I’m against fur. But then vintage fur is a tad different story. I mean, the garment has been produced decades ago and the poor little animals have already given their lives to satisfy man’s vanity. Giving a vintage fur garment a new home is a way of making sure that they didn’t die in vain? Right?

Also, by buying this item off a gorgeous burlesque performer friend, I am (and I quote) ‘helping a poor showgirl eat‘. See, its for a good cause after all. *grins*

Sexy new satin & lace Mollini pumps

Mollini Helga pumps in taupe

While I’m not too crazy about the silly lace thingie popping out of the back of this Mollini shoe, I fell in love with the colour and the texture of the lace covered satin. The stupid frill folds in easily and the shoes are a nice everyday office heel to spice up an otherwise tame outfit.

I just couldn’t say no to this. They’re just so adorable and delightfully naughty. I love the frilled bum on the knickers and I absolutely adore the little bows on the garter belt. And the stockings? Sheer delight with seams!

Now how delightful and decadent are these? I visited Dirty Pretty Things and treated myself to the little black silk robe (far right image) and have pranced around the house in it ever since. Because it’s pure silk, its soft against the skin and warms even on a cooler late autumn morning.

Now of course I couldn’t just wear this lovely robe without satin marabou slippers, now could I? For some reason it seems impossible to find a pair that doesn’t have clear stripper heel in Australia.

Have no fear, I bumped into this fantastic little online store called Baby Girl Boutique. Not only do they stock everything a pin-up girl might need, they are very, very fast! I got my wonderful little package in three days!
