The fur coat

Many of you probably think this is not ethical at all. I used to think that. But as I said before, I eat meat anyway, so now I've decided to wear fur aswell, as I came to the conclusion that it doesn't make any difference. I took this fur coat from my mum's closet. She hasn't worn it for a long time, so I decided to try it. And I love it. This week is being considerably cold, and wearing this coat is like having a blanket on you. You cannot feel the cold weather inside.



Muchos seguramente pensar�is que esto no es �tico. Yo sol�a pensar eso. Pero como ya he dicho en un post anterior, como carne sin reparos, as� que he decidido que si me apetece ponerme abrigos de piel, tambi�n lo har�. Todo eso tras serias deliberaciones, y tras llegar a la conclusi�n de que esto no va a marcar ninguna diferencia. He cogido este abrigo del armario de mi madre. Ella no se lo pon�a desde hace mucho tiempo, as� que he decidido probarlo yo. Y me encanta. Esta semana est� siendo especialmente fr�a, pero ir debajo de esto es como llevar una manta, es imposible que el fr�o te alcance metida en uno de estos abrigos.

Fur or Faux?

Contradiction. That's the first word which comes to mind when thinking about fur garments. I used to hate people who wear fur coats, but not anymore. Maybe because I hate cynical people more. It's very respectable not wearing fur coats, but, if you eat meat, and you wear leather shoes and handbags, does it really make a difference? I think it doesn't. What I really don't approve now I will never do, it's having a coat of an endangered species, it's an atrocity, but that's another topic.


Coat- my mum's
Tights- Marie Claire
Shoes- Manolo Blahn�k


Despite weather is still ok, I borrowed this coat from my mum when thinking about my winter wardrobe. She never wears it, and she offers it to me...Maybe being a 22-year-old is too young to wear such a coat, or maybe not. I don't know, I still don't have a clean conscience about wearing fur, what do you think?
Belt- Massimo Dutti

Contradicci�n. Es la primera palabra que me viene a la cabeza cuando pienso en las prendas de piel. Sol�a odiar a la gente que llevaba esos abrigos de piel, normalmente se�oras mayores para las que su abrigo de vis�n -o de lo que fuera- era tan importante como el Mercedes para su marido, aunque cada vez hay menos de esas. Lo cierto es que me he dado cuenta que en realidad odio a los c�nicos m�s. Es muy respetable no llevar prendas de piel, pero si comes carne, y llevas zapatos de piel y bolsos, �de qu� sirve? Yo creo que de nada. Por lo que no paso es por los abrigos de animales en peligro de extinci�n, ya que eso es una salvajada y no tiene excusa, pero eso da para otro post.
A pesar de que el tiempo a�n es bueno, estaba "mendigando" por casa viendo que podr� aprovechar para el invierno, y mi madre me dej� probar este abrigo. Ella nunca lo usa y me dijo que me lo daba si lo quer�a. Quiz�s 22 a�os son pocos para llevar un abrigo como �ste, o quiz�s no. A�n no tengo claro si mi conciencia puede soportar llevar un bicho encima... �y vosotros qu� pens�is?
