"It may be normal, darling; but I'd rather be natural"
-Holly Golightly, Breakfast at Tiffany's

What I'm Wearing: Shaggy Fur Coat (Brand Spanking New), American Apparel Dress & Office Shoes. This is my new fur. Say Hello to Shag-a-delic. Its warm, weird and people look at me funny when I wear it; what more could I ever ask for in a garment? Oh and my ring. Topshop. Bold & Big...and I love how it looks with Bright Blue Nails.

Friday Night: Music, Candles & Fun People. Frances wandered over to my house in the rain. She still looked impeccable. How?! We all drank some wine and talked about life. No need for neon-bright clubs, my cosy room was more than sufficient for the subdued night we all had in mind.

Fashion Bloggers made the front page of the Life&Arts Section of the Financial Times Today. This pretty much made my day, (as well as the discovery that Dr. Pepper Zero exists! Who Knew?!) In the article, Nicola Copping, (FT's deputy fashion editor) asserted that "yes: fashion bloggers, like the cool kids in school, have become a kind of elite band". She later quoted Scott Schuman, who explained his blog's appeal by its informal tone, "I speak to you as I speak to any of my other friends".

I think this is pretty much my approach to the writing in my blog, there is nothing formal or stiff-lipped about the words I put here. And while I wish I could write freely as if I was in front of a friend, the hostile anons have once again poured onto this website in full-pathetic flood. All I can say, if you hate my clothes, I'm all up for hearing about that-but as for anything else (my future, my weight, my boyfriend etc...), I can only help but marvel as to why you would even think I would be interested in your opinion?!

I just don't understand why someone would come on your blog to be rude? I think you always looks great and I love your blog because it does seem quite informal and reading often I get a sense that I know you - which clearly I don't! It's just those interesting little insights into your life as well as the amazing outfits which brings me back to your blog.

Wow you wonder why people look at you funny when you wear fur?
if it's real im disgusted.
I would have thought a well educated girl like you would know that animals get skinned alive and electrocuted for your fur. And people like you wear it like you don't even care. If I saw anyone wearing fur I would spit on them.

great outfit! love it. and the ring is just amazing.

In response to the ridiculous, small minded and boring anonymous below. It is startlingly obvious to anyone that has ever laid eyes on an animal, that this coat is not real fur.

Secondly it is terribly sad to believe that the revolting act of spitting on someone is going to result in your opinion being respected.

It is obnoxious and ignorant people like you who damage the reputation of a very worthy movement.

(excellent nail polish choice though frassy!)

Bella said...

Wow, really nice ring. The coat is great but Im not sure if Ill see myself in one, but you wear it and its just fantastic!

Georgia said...

I read your blog because you have a good style, never the same. I also like your room :)
Want that 'polish. And the apple.
It would be mine

JULIA said...

your photo collage is top notch.

thatsorad said...

I agree with Hayley, I totally don't understand why people get so gnarly and negitive. It is unavoidable though and what makes the rad comments make me smile.

I do love your approch to clothing and style. :) Thank you for inspiring so many!

Keep being authentic Frassy, you've got a great, strong viewpoint and even when I disagree with it (sartorially), it's enjoyable.

Daisy said...

I adore the jacket ! Everytime I see you wearing those shoes It makes me really want them! I do wish I was still at uni so I was able to have wine fuled nights in my room with friends. Have funn!

If it is faux fur she should say so, but she said 'fur', leaving me thinking it's real fur. Its no suprise that people get dirty looks even when wearing faux fur, at the end of the day the look you are trying to replicate is a dead animal.

Maria said...

cute I love the "inspiration wall" haha, & outfit!

gem fatale said...

The anons are ridiculous, you summed it up perfectly.

Manja said...

I love your look! I know it would never look good on me but man, you are really pulling this off!

The anonymous person makes me laugh "at the end of the day the look you are trying to replicate is a dead animal"
I usually don't reply to those comments but if that is the case, then vegetarians shouldn't eat tofu burgers or steaks because they are trying to replicate the meat of a dead animal, too.

Anyways, your blue nailpolish looks fab. I have one in the same shade, by Barry M :)

Talisa said...

I find your blog perfectley inspiring, and like Hayley said below, why visit if you don't like what you see? What a waste of time! Keep doing what you're doing, the vast majority of people on here really admire you, it's just the nasty people have a tendency to be more vocal (which is what made me comment in support!).

your room is wonderful, and your fashion sense is gorgeous. Glad im not the only one that picks up something and asks myself if Alexa Chung would buy it and if yes, i do! haha x

Cherish said...

That fur coat is epic end off.

And much like everyone else has already said, I don't know why anyone would come to your blog just to be negative especially when it's such a fabulous one. Yours is one of my favourites, your style is impeccable (your closet lust-worthy) and your approach fearless and friendly.

your blog is SEX! i love this outfit!!!!

Anonymous said...

I can absolutely appreciate your want to look original, and I applaud you for that but to be honest, you pretty much look like shit most of the time.

Just because you want to look retro or vintage doesn't mean your hair has to look like its never seen a bottle of shampoo or a hair brush in its life. And you just throw shit together, even if it doesn't match. It doesn't look eclectic or original it just looks like you fell into a dressing up box and haven't had a chance to get changed yet. Seriously. Looking back on your old looks you were still original but the clothes you bought were nice, and they blend together well. Sort it out because you've gone too far.

a big fluffy fur coat is honestly what i'd live in during the winter if i lived somewhere it actually got cold!

and blue (along with jade) are my favorite nail polishes this winter :)

Valencia Lia said...

Beautiful beautiful furry coat !! and those wedges I adore them so much :)

Ohhh my,I have the exact same nail color you have on too now. Are they from OPI ?? Because I did my at the nail place so I don't know what was the name of the color.
heeeee

Always look forward to your blog <3 big hugssss

You look so great girl!

Victoria said...

Fab coat.. People on here really need to loosen up and get a grip!!

I always assume you mean faux fur when you refer to fur.

If someone spat on me while I was wearing my fake fur coat I'd open a can of whoop ass on them! So rude and unnecessary.

Your blog is still one of my faves after all this time.
