Fur Accents For Your Fall And Winter Wardrobe (PHOTOS)
HuffPost Social Reading
If there is one word to describe the fall/winter 2011 collections, it would be plush. Lush and colorful fur (faux and real) was a staple on almost every runway, from classic coats at Michael Kors to contemporary trim on accessories at Alexander Wang. And although the real thing will usually break the bank (and may offend many), luckily there are many more affordable and animal-friendly faux-fur options to buy now.
Click through the slideshow below to shop the story and get your fuzz (faux and real) on.

That is a major flaw in the logic of fur for fashion--the bodies and parts of the animals slaughtered are wasted while the fur is collected solely for fashion's sake. That, imho, is what makes fur wearing for fashion's sake so blatantly wasteful and wrong.
Not to mention, real fur smells. Seriously. It's a unique odor that I really can't imagine anyone enjoying. Gah. Hard to believe anyone today likes the idea of fur--real or faux. Yeah, nothing like dead animal wrapped around my neck. But, everyone who does love it certainly rationalizes or stubbornly refuses to learn about it, so it will continue to be an issue in the future.
...Granted, the only time I will purchase real fur is when it is vintage and secondhand. It's beautiful, it's soft and luxurious, and it was farmed long before we became so overly sensitive. Might as well give it a home where it will be loved and taken care of.
a cruel and unnecessary "fashion."
