While much of the blogging world is anxiously anticipating the arrival of spring any day now, here in Canada the winter weather usually lasts well into April. Wearing faux-fur is one of the coziest and cuddliest ways to dress for frigid temperatures, and the brighter the better for breaking up the bleak landscape. My favorite coat is a hot pink number that garners a lot of compliments, but the most fabulous fuzzy pieces I've seen are from British label Shrimps. Designer Hannah Weiland (below) uses all synthetic materials, so animal lovers need not worry; the fake-fur colors are fantastically saturated and vibrant, appearing on coats, bags, shoes, and scarves. A gorgeous presentation of Shrimps Fall/Winter '15 took place last week in London and featured lots of signature softness, along with embroidery and glitter. It goes without saying that I am smitten!
