There is always time for some dress-up!

(p.s. even if it’s freaking cold out)

Starbucks. 7 30 am. I am sipping my Vanilla Latte and thinking about weird "trendy traditions" all over the world. It has already snowed in Moscow a couple days ago. High time for taking fur coats out of the closet, right? No matter what is on the cat walks this season, no matter how spread the “save poor animals’ WWF ideas are, or how little of fur detail Gucci and Prada showed in their collections this season, it is always in here. Every time it gets a tiny bit colder, girls put on all the expensive coats, decorated with all those kinds of fur. No one cares if it’s still pretty warm during the day and that we still have plenty of time – the whole winter to ‘enjoy’ putting a shit ton of clothes on. I find it funny how much people want to show what they got – seriously, women, who can’t even afford a car, save money for a fur coat and wear it, using subway and getting the $3000+ item all squashed and damaged, every day, November thru early spring. Almost as crazy as it seems to be wearing Ugg boots on the Cali coast – they look way more natural when it’s below zero out and keep my toe fingers warm! (I still have my toenails colored neon and bright colors most of the cold season just to have a little splash of summer, no matter if no one sees!)

Anyways, do I put warm winter clothes and coats on yet? No, thank you, I’ll pass.
