Yesterday I posted about my fabulous NAFFEM Style Lab experience.  We were lucky enough to have a videographer follow us around throughout the day to capture the event on film.  Here is a quick video clip giving you a glimpse into the day and also showcasing some of my top fur picks from the expo.  Please excuse my awkward demeanor. . . put a video camera in front of me and I freeze!  I hope you all have a lovely weekend!

As I mentioned last week, back in April I had the pleasure of attending the North American Fur & Fashion Exposition in Montreal (NAFFEM).  I was honoured to be asked by the Fur Council of Canada to be 1 of 9 bloggers to participate in their NAFFEM Style Lab.

We had the opportunity to visit with over 200 fur exhibitors to see, touch, play with and try on all of their amazing fur coats, scarves, vests, hats, shoes, necklaces, handbags and pretty much anything else you can think of.  We learned about the North American and International fur trades, and saw just how much attention, work and detail goes into making these spectacular fur fashions.

We had the nearly impossible task of selecting our “Dream Fur” from all of the amazing pieces at the expo.  We were then asked to style a model wearing our “Dream Fur”.  This was my first “styling” experience, and it turns out, styling is not nearly as easy as it looks.  Looking back at the photo, I would have definitely chosen a different outfit for my model, but I guess it wasn’t that bad for my first attempt.  The fur was just so gorgeous that it really didn’t matter what else my model was wearing.
