Please, please never come back. The Hamptons are a much better fit for you. This about says it all:
“Wearing black is always a great option during the holidays on Nantucket. A black dress is perfect for the classy bar at Ventuno.” As long as its classy. Note: Beware those that refer to places and things as classy.

Ok girls are some faux and others not? The fox? The rabbit and raccoon – not clear…if it is all faux, I congratulate you but make a plea for trumpeting it from the rooftops…

Hi Michelle, some of the looks featured for the X-Mas Stroll are faux and some are real. We appreciate your concern and do always try to showcase faux fur as much as possible, over real, as well as eco-friendly choices. We are featuring eco-friendly suits today if you want to have a look! https://gretchy.com/2012/11/4-eco-friendly-skirt-suits-you-can-wear-to-work-during-socals-winter/

I am very disappointed and disgusted to see that you have chosen to include real fur in some of your outfits. Instead of just trying to be stylish, why don’t you embrace eco- style…that would ensure, not only that no creatures have suffered for your fashion choices but also if you choose garments that are responsibly made of sustainably sourced fabrics, you are setting positive examples about consumer choices as well as style.
