Mamma Earth, your K knows cotton and linen and hemp have endured centuries of being plucked from being warm and cozy sun-soaked fields, of being tormented and twisted into gorgeous garments for others’ pure pleasure and profit.

So I’ll save a plant on your big day, and rock instead this vintage ’60s minky mink.

Tailored tight to highlight my hot hourglass, it’s a classically luxe coat in espresso black that’s really a figurative green –

Vintage mink is how girls named Kristopher do recycling.

So your K’s been going a little handbag happy around here -

Let’s take a breather, ladies, and dig this mink Coach key chain.

One – but not you – might misthink this mignon mink Coach key chain is a gratuitous celebration of fur, and I’m posting about it simply to court PETA love and therefore easy publicity.

But this pinky chic Coach mink key chain is practical luxe.

You’d be le shocked how cold your keys get in Los Angeles winters.

Patricia Green mink slippers make your most boss lady’s list of must-haves, ’cause:

Mink slippers – doubly luxe lined in shearling – protect her worth-their-weight-in-gold Chanel satin-tipped toes.

Mink-y mink slippers are the only jolie-ugly, fur-lined flats she’ll do; even Kate Moss couldn’t convince her of Mukluks.

Mink slippers will be her fav pet; her skyrise building wouldn’t allow her to house a teacup poodle.

Fortunately for me and my dot-com.

‘Cause suggesting a teacup poodle wouldn’t get me free press from PETA love as quickly.

Ooh la love.

A mink-trimmed Salvatore Ferragamo handbag is practical luxe, because:

A mink Salvatore Ferragamo hobo lets me meet my glammy dead animal quota in Los Angeles’ 60°F winters.

A mink Salvatore Ferragamo handbag keeps my Treo toasty, unlike my snakey clutch.

A completely mink Salvatore Ferragamo handbag would just be ridiculous.

Though I’d rock one.

A shearling Miu Miu ankle boot is your winter fling, because:

A Miu Miu shearling ankle boot takes care you, keeping you warm and supporting your standing taller, straighter.

A shearling Miu Miu ankle boot is a rougher city chic than those spacy New Wave ankle boots at the feet of every other girl.

A shearling Miu Miu ankle boot rocks right whether you’re power lunching with the boys or sharing champagne martinis with the ladies -

Unlike those other Ugg-ly boots best left to sit in front of the couch, with sweats.

Once upon a time, Marc-y Marc Jacobs and I didn’t get along -

I found Marc Jacobs more cutesy than cute, Marc Jacobs built for women who wanted to be girls their entire lives, Marc Jacobs seemed more interested in covering women’s bodies than highlighting their figures.

But slowly, I began to respect Marc Jacobs’ genius, to enjoy his cheeky chic, I began to understand Marc Jacobs and -

That apparently Marc Jacobs loves animals as much as I do.

Here’s how I rock winter boots: with a 4″ heel and thigh-high shaft, a la Casadei.

This Casadei boot‘s lug sole gives grip to sleety sidewalks, patent leather plays water-resistant, and a shearling-lined, over-the-knee shaft keeps you warmer than any Marc-y Marc Jacobs moon boots.

Slave to fashion, I am not.

Low-cut 80′s-ish ankle boots are fresh, but I prefer shoes a touch more classic.

Like a purple suede, rabbit-trimmed ankle boot, a la Christian Louboutin.

With an almond toe, classic stiletto, and fresh violet color, this Christian Louboutin ankle boot plays timeless. Is the ankle boot modern mod? Sure, with opaque tights and a shift dress. Is the ankle boot Studio 54, 2004? With your little gold dress it is. Or maybe the ankle boot is neo New Wave? Your sweater dress and leggings agree. The Christian Louboutin ankle boot also plays very now: rock the ankle boot with tailored shorts, a breezy buttondown, and unbuttoned vest.

Shoe maestro Giuseppe Zanotti is like an angel, looking out for me.

Fresh lamenting not being able to wear fur in Los Angeles, especially during the summer months, I found this rabbit-trimmed Giuseppe Zanotti sandal.

Now I finally have something I can wear to the beach.

Ooh la love.

I blinked, and now it’s almost summer.

Farewell SPF 25, hello SPF 45. Tah tah, sporting fur for warmth, give me a kiss, rocking glammy dead animals gratuitously.

This Dolce & Gabbana handbag of ram fur and eel skin is calling to the animal lover inside me, I love this Dolce and Gabbana handbag’s solid white made rich by the different textures.

What about you, doll?
