Growing up I was always in awe of both of my grandmother’s fur coats. Mink’s that elegantly graced the floor or stop shortly above the knees. They looked glamorous and chic, the type of women who could own a room. As a child I loved when they would wear their furs to parties or church, hoping one day I could be just as beautiful as they are. My one grandmother (who just turned 95) used to be a fur model back in the 40’s. She still wears the coats that were given to her by different designers, looking just a beautiful in them as she does in her photographs. My other grandmother sadly passed away many years ago; my mother, aunt, cousin, sister and I inherited her many coats.

I know fur is a touchy subject, but back then it was the norm. Luckily nowadays faux fur is as elegant and chic as the real thing. Going into winter this year I wanted to treat myself to a faux fur coat. Originally I was looking at white/cream colors, but came across this black one from Milly. It was too beautiful to pass up. Personally I wish it was just a tad bit longer, still does not change my love for it. I wore it during the holidays to events and am already planning on wearing it to fashion week. I know I will have this coat for many years to come. And when I wear it I will feel like my grandmother’s– timeless, elegant, and oh so chic.
