LE CHIC MODE

 🎃🎃🧛‍♀️🧛‍♀️👻👻 BOO 👻  Well the fun begins . All the little goblins will be out dressed in their fun costumes . Even adults are joining in the fun.  The celebrities really have gone BIG for the costume parties . Thinking about Heidi Klum and her outfits.  I do remember taking part in some events  Finding something to wear, usually it was something from my closet  such a geishe girl or a medieval maiden think of Robin Hood  But more fun was making costume for the kids pirates , astronaut  Dracula,  caveman . Creating these fun costumes was half the fun.  Simple to make too.   So have fun seeing all the spooky costumes.

Fur trappers sold the furs to Europe. A business that thrived for hundreds of years .  Now you a get faux furs that  look so real.  Naturally  they are made from chemicals   So not a natural thing. . The process is no doubt not good for the environment. Also it does not degrade.  I would say it’s a good idea to recycle or restyle any fur , whether real or faux.
