The It's Only Fashion 4th Anniversary Brunch – YOU ARE INVITED!

On Janaury 1st four years ago, Cajsa started this blog! Around April I joined her and the rest is history. Please don’t look back at our old photos they are scary.

BUT – we are celebrating with a big brunch party at my house! Cajsa will be DJing and we hope to see you all there on Sunday morning. So bring your hangover and head over to my place.

This is your TAXI!

Thinking Of A Reason

Sitting on the doorstep of the house I can’t afford
I can feel you there
Thinking of a reason well it’s really not very hard
To love you even though, you nearly lost my heart
How can I explain the meaning of our love?
It fits so tight, closer than a glove Continue reading

Shape Up for the New Year

“A Novel, in the end, is a container, a shape into which you are trying to pour your story into.”
~Helen Dunmore

I do admit I was very resistant to getting a new shape last year because I’d had mine forever and I love it and it was MEEEE and yadda yadda yadda.

But then, I tried on my shape made by Hybie of Savoir Faire (and our newest contributor here at IOF) and I fell in love. It’s amazing what a difference a shape made by someone with a brilliant eye for proportion and a great fashion sense can make. Continue reading

It's Only Fashion Welcomes It's Newest Blogger: Hybie Mynx

It’s been a while since we added any contributors to the blogging family, but earlier today I saw Hybie mention that she might like to fashion blog again but wasn’t sure she’d want to commit to her own blog. Just a musing but I knew it was a great fit for It’s Only Fashion.

So I dropped her a line and said please come play in our sandbox and she said YES and so…

Please welcome our newest blogger, Hybie Mynx.

Can’t wait to see what she adds to the mix! WELCOME ABOARD HYBIE!

Following Your Beliefs

I think it’s important to have beliefs and personal moral tenets by which you live. I for one believe a few basic things.

I believe it’s wrong to treat people badly.
I believe you shouldn’t kill people or steal.
I believe in the value of friendship.
and…more to the point of this post, I do in fact believe it’s wrong to wear real fur.

Now, that being said, man, fur is BEAUTIFUL. It’s beauty doesn’t outweigh the suffering and treatment of the animals who die to give it to us. So pretty much, unless you’re still an indigenous, native, primitive type people, you probably shouldn’t be wearing fur.
I think fake fur, however is awesome. Since it’s made of horrible chemicals it’ll never age, and could absolutely be passed on from generation to generation, like china or crystal. No animal died or suffered to give it to us, and we get the beauty without the cruelty.

In the world of real life, I believe firmly that as a modern person I shouldn’t wear any animal I won’t eat. I eat cow thus I wear leather made from cows. If I eat it, I’d wear it most likely. Chicken might not be so pretty. I digress.

When the ridiculous brouhaha over PIXEL fur popped up the first thing I had to do was BUY it, because, the drama is so silly it hurts me. But, in order not to be a hypocrite I decided to keep to my own rules.

It was really difficult to get this into this pot by the way. It was however, delicious.

Awwwww. I am a messy eater.

Seriously, pixel fur. Love it. Make more.

No fashion details. Just delicious fox.
