This winter, I got the fur disease. Like, really really bad. Faux, real, hats, coats, pompoms, shoes, mittens, wraps, capes – you name it, I want it, I need it, I must have it. It’s warm, it’s luxurious, it’s enduring.

Although vintage is always great for fur, I’ve learned it’s not that easy to find a shape and quality that doesn’t make you look like either a trashy prostitute or a member of your grandmother’s bible group.

So, leave it to the coolest shop on earth to create the ultimate fur collection. Opening Ceremony collaborated with director Spike Jonze for a special collection inspired by his film Where The Wild Things Are.

It’s young, quirky and affordable(ish), sophisticated and has a sense of humour. I’m going to shut it now as I run the risk of breaking into song. And dance. And growl. I’m happy.

Enjoy women’s here and men’s here.

Nothing like the first flurry of snow to remind you that ski-season is coming up. As a keen boarder myself, I was more than a little excited when I saw this beautiful snowboard, which effectively combines my two greatest passions: all things Chanel and beautiful design. The simple wooden exterior, the not-over-the-top Chanel branding and as a plus, actually a rather good board performance-wise (so I heard).

The entire ski collection can be seen here. The dark wooden skis are also gorgeously crafted, and the goggles are of course a must to complete the look.
Mom, Dad, if you haven’t bought my Christmas present yet… Hint, hint.

Whilst you’re on there, have a look at all other sports – a Chanel fishing set? A Chanel dingy boat? Surfboard? Golf clubs? My mind boggles. Must take up more sports.
