Furry, But Friendly

Despite the fact that I despise anything that sheds, I cannot get enough of anything faux fur. I'd imagine that this is how my mother felt upon welcoming home a yellow lab after years of Maltese pups. You love 'em so much that you don't mind cleaning up the hair. Therefore, I'll just put a lint roller in my purse and call it a day.

Ms. Alba

I have many a style crush. At the top of the list are Gwen, Blake, and Jenna, but I have to say that Ms. Jessica Alba's style during 2012 has been killer, especially in the denim department. She works every color of the rainbow, large floral prints, black skinnies, faded boyfriend fits, and a perfect 70's flare (which I unknowingly recreated here). I am excited to see how she works the waxed, leather, and animal print varieties for fall. Speaking of which, I'm on the hunt for an oxblood pair of waxed skinnies to take part in the Bloggers Do It Better challenge - where should I look?
