Soviet Kitsch

I hardly been out of the house recently as I've got an essay deadline to meet. All I've been doing is sitting in front of the computer typing, taking essay breaks by researching for the blog and eating Ferreo Rochers left over from Christmas (Oh ambassador, you really are spoiling us etc etc.)

Having got sick of my chocolate - eating ways, my brother invited me to lunch yesterday, where I took the opportunity to dress up in the most Russian like manner (after all, it is very cold), which of course involves many (fake!) fur accessories…


(I'm laughing here because my brother said the fur hat make me look like I have an afro)



Hat: Charity Shop
Tippet: Mum
Dress: Topshop
Cardigan: Brick Lane Market
Leggings: Ebay
Boots: Gap

The dress is the one I bough on sale from the Topshop website. It actually looks better on photo than in real life. I was a bit disappointed when it arrived, but it is easy enough to wear so I would no doubt be getting my money’s worth.

Absolutely charming, my dear.

Pics wouldn't load for me earlier and I was in a state of terrible anticipation--Soviet influences? Fur?

It was well worth the wait.
