Fashion Inspiration: Game of Thrones aka Furry Friday

Good morning, Friday. I'm feeling better than yesterday about things- though it is gloomy outside, David and I had a fabulous meal last night as well as a nice stroll (tequila helps this in the cold ps) down memory lane- Bleecker Street in the heart of the Village, close to where we used to live. We bought Velvet Underground and Haircut 100 records, peeked into some old comedy clubs, and had a lovely evening. It's one day at a time for me- I realize my extreme personality is right in sync with the highs and lows of living here, so going to take them both  cue Facts of Life theme song) and try to live in the good.

Other than that, did I mention my obsession with "Game of Thrones"? We went down the rabbit hole over the holiday break and devoured both seasons. Admittedly, some of the violence had me turning my head, but love the setting of the show, the intrigue, the Machiavellian overtones, not to mention the gorgeous cast. It's a fabulous glimpse into a time long past, and of course, like any self respecting fashion freak I am obsessed with the show's wardrobe. 

Back in the day, fur was used as protection from everything from the elements to evil spirits to each other. The characters on this show rock fur in almost every single scene, and though I will only wear the fake stuff, I adore the look of fur around the face and everywhere else too. And since I'm feeling a bit wounded these days, a good arsenal of fake fur pieces will put me in the mood to do battle with the crowds and weather and madness of New York. I know this is not in any way a new trend, but the last few winters (I feel like Rachel Zoe started a lot of the fur vest frenzy when she first became a brand) have found me loving all of the great pieces- whether it's a faux fur collar on a parka or a full on faux fur coat moment with some tights and heels, I'm all about it. 

So herewith I declare today Furry Friday, and though I have to wait until March for the next season of my new favorite show, I'm going to channel the spirit of mystic lands and epic battles and love affairs by rocking my very own versions. Hope you enjoy my moodboard in celebration of all things (faux) fur. No way I do real with my own little fur face at home wagging his tail at me. Cause that's what's up this very furry Friday in the 212. Have yourself a merry little weekend. XO
