" You Can't Miss The Bear "



Thank you to Kosi at Qi Cashmere for sending over a care package full of samples to try on. The instant I opened the box and found this hat, I fell in love with it. I simply had to slip it on before anything else! Overall, I find Qi Cashmere to be classic, chic and clean in their designs.




Carrie of My Bare Style was thoughtful enough to send over some goodies from her Online Shop; Bare Accessories. I still haven’t gotten to the knee socks, but I will, as I adore them. As you can see, I am already putting the handbag and ring to very good use!!



Fur Hat: Qi Cashmere. Sweater: Nordstrom. Tights: Urban Outfitters. Military boots: Secondhand. Ring: Bare Accessories. Handbag: Melie Bianco.



Fur hat mania (what I don is faux) has been spotted popping up all over the Fashion Runway collections; from Jean Paul Gaultier and Fendi to Dolce & Gabbana. I like the practice of how a simple accent of fur (go faux if you can) lends a hand in creating a look of luxe. Men and women, both, can have a stab at this season’s funky trend.


On another note, pun intended, if you couldn't already tell by the song change... I've fast become a fan of the Weeds soundtrack. I finished season 1 last night. This afternoon I saw the first episode of Season 2. And tonight, I'm off to continue my trip down Season 2! I love the Botwins!!



xoxo / Thank you Qi & Carrie!

Wish I received samples like these ! Do you have to send them back or can you keep them ? I love the biker boots and also the jumper, so into those right now but can't find the perfect one ! x

Lesley said...

I want samples! Wah! Great hat!

Rikki Lane said...

ivoreece said...

I was born in Russia and fur hats are for me so usual. And to say the true, it's a little bit funny to see these hats as "something new" :D

You look nice in it! ;)

I love the ring and you in it :)

Stephanie said...

Omgod this post is AMAZING!!!!
The fifth pic from the top is MY FAVE!!! Everything about it is pure perfection! And I love mustard yellow- it's one of the best shades for brunettes- I'm on a desperate search for a mustard yellow summer dress.

Ok and those top shots are soo fun!!! They caught my eye in bloglovin' immediately!!!

Love the song! slightly schizophrenic but catchy at the same time!

AND ADORE ADORE ADORE the boots- remember when I did that post on docs and how much I felt like i couldn't buy into them....well looks like i'm slowly converting, if not for docs then for some form of lace-up weathered military style boot- how perfect would such footwear be with a mustard yellow frock?!!! lol! Something to look forward to!
