Lookbook Store Faux Fur Coat * / RockLove ‘Sacred Geometry’ Necklace / H&M Leather Look Tee / River Island Asymmetric Skirt /
Rick Owens Wedges / Balenciaga City
I’ve wanted a big fluffy faux fur coat to wrap up in over winter for the longest time. I could never quite find what I had in mind, and I even debated making myself one, but then this came along from Lookbook Store. I didn’t want one that looked expensive, or glamorous, but something more disheveled and even a bit tacky. Soft long hair, a little bit scruffy looking & pretty obviously faux, this was exactly what I had in mind.
Unsurprisingly, every time I wear it I get a handful of people shouting Game of Thrones references at me. Luckily though, it’s one of my favourite shows & so it makes me more happy than annoyed, to be honest I actually quite like swooshing around in it, feeling like Jon Snow, it definitely makes doing my errands a little more interesting! It couldn’t have come at a more perfect time either, it’s turned bitterly cold now, but cuddling up in this feels like a warm, fluffy hug & makes it so much easier to brave the outdoors.
I mentioned a little while ago that I’d gone off jewellery & that I haven’t been wearing much at all recently, well, that was until my new geo collar arrived from RockLove. I’ve worn this almost every day since it arrived, it sits perfectly in between being simple, dainty even & a more statement piece, plus you know I’m a sucker for anything geometric. I’m already trying to work out which piece to get next, as I want pretty much the whole of the Sacred Geometry collection, and the awesome Viking cuffs too!

Josie says
There’s not many furry jackets that I like but I love this, the shaggy fur styles are the best! Looks SO cosy as well. I feel you with the swollen sinuses, it’s no fun! Hope they get better xxx
FAIIINT says
Yeah, I’m the same I’m not very keen on the ones that look too ‘glam’, this is scruffy and perfect though & yes, it’s soo cosy!
lauren says

Hahah! I know, I guess it’s the problem with living in a small city & dressing a bit differently to the norm here! Sometimes I only barely manage to resist! ;)
Kristina Rutšjevskaj says
I adore your style, we have a very similar taste in clothing and it’s inspiring to see how you style your clothes (:
I love the necklace, I’ve been obsessed with geometric jewelry for some time now so I’m super jealous of yours : D Also, the coat looks great on you, you look like a dark Nordic warrior woman<3
FAIIINT says
Thankyou so much! I was just checking your blog out, and you have incredible style too! :) I think dark, Nordic warrior woman is one of the best compliments I’ve ever received! :D
Sam says
The necklace is gorgeous! I’ve wanted a faux fur coat for years but every time I try one on I look like I’m drowning in it. Hope you feel better :)
FAIIINT says
Thanks Sam! :) I felt kind of the same with all the ones I’ve tried in the past too, I think the quite long hair on this helps cos it looks purposely huge & oversized, not like it’s just too big.

I looovvvveee this shaggy jacket!! I have a shaggy faux vest that I love, which is totally like this coat disheveled and you can tell that its faux. I think your coat is still pretty glamorous but in a different way. I’ve def. been wanting a faux shag coat as well…

Allison of RockLove says
I adore this coat – been on the prowl for a vintage black fur cowl myself. Or a really good faux… but most of what I’ve found thusfar looks too much like a Muppet! Can’t wait to post your pictures of the necklace tomorrow – thank you again! You look stunning; so very flattered.
FAIIINT says
Aw, thanks Allison, I’m so glad you like them! :) I agree, I think there’s a very fine line with faux between looking nice & just looking a bit tacky, I think this one is leaning towards tacky but it’s saved (just!) by the scruffy look it has!
Berty Morales says
You look gorge! I am adoring that coat.
Sonia says
Hehehe as soon as I saw the title and a little bit of fur popping out I immediately though of GOT! That jacket fits right into The Nights Watch. Loving that jacket though, I think I’ve been eying the white version on their ebay account for ages. Even though it’s not quite cold enough for it might have to consider adding it to my collection regardless!

Hehe! :D I have been using it to walk Nico in, just to add to the whole ‘look’ with my little wolf! I think we’d both love to kick ass with the nights watch! ;)
crystal says
disheveled like beautiful raven feathers. i’m coveting..
steph says
i hope you’re feeling better now steph! love a good furry jacket, i have something similar but i love the shagginess of yours more! actually jon snow did come to mind for a split second and i’m not sure if it was because it triggered that scene where he was in the snow or subconsciously from reading your text, haha. one of my fave shows too – now all you need is nico pretending to be a wolf <3
FAIIINT says
Yeah, the shaggyness is what really persuaded me to get it! I was going to get Nico in on the photos too, but thought it may be a little overkill, though I’m sure the shots would have gone nuts on Tumblr! Hah! It’s killing me waiting for the new season, I’m having withdrawals!
hiPop says
love the simplicity of the monochrome, combined with richness in texture!

Love the necklace, not so much the coat though, it makes me think of how heavy and soaked it might get if you wear it on a rainy day.However is probably veeeery warm.

It’s soo warm & snuggly! I wouldn’t dare wear it when it’s raining though, it’d look like a drowned rat! Hah! ;)
winnie says
You look amazing! I like how the jacket adds so much drama to your outfit. Really love that necklace too!

I love the necklace, gold triangles are always perfect! Game of Thrones never sprung to mind but I’m glad you’re embracing it!
