Furrrrr

For those not in the know and hopelessly un-hip, one of this seasons must haves is a faux furrrrrrrrr of some sort. So, for fun, I just glanced through Nordstrom's offerings and came away empty handed, and I have a feeling I may stay that way.  Several of the ones pictured looked like monkey hair/fur, and not in a good way either.  Think a really bad African American wig and you've pretty much got the picture, only think of it as a vest.  Cut to the picture of the one that was pretty, but even on a skinny model, made her look welllllll.....fluffy.... and you want to know what it was called?  A Chubby.  Seriously...is there a woman alive that's going to buy something called a Chubby??  Not me.  There was one faux leopard coat that was neat and then, of course, the Rachel Zoe pick which was gorgeous, $500, and looked like you could only wear underwear, if that, underneath it.  So what happens if you get hot?  Clearly that one's out. 

I did see a faux shearling vest that was tres' cool so for now, that's going to have to be my fall back position.  And speaking of fur, last night at a wedding Benji and Andrea attended, Benji thought the bottom part of the brides dress was fur.  I know Vera Wang appreciated that a whole lot, given that it was really some sort of flowery petals that were no doubt created by hand, and stitched on, one by one.  I'm still screaming over the fact that after a couple of drinks, Benji sidled over to the bride to sneakily touch the fabric, to be sure it really wasn't furrrrrrrr.  Oy vey.
