Default FUR?????

So, we just got back from vacation today! We went to Astria, Liechtenstein and Switzerland. I was sooo excited to go to Zurich, because i have heard nothing but great things about the shopping there. And, well, it's true! Every designer name you can imagine is there! I was so overwhelmed, I didn't buy a thing. But, what I saw the most of was FUR! Maybe that is normal for Europe with cold winters, but i was pretty suprised! Michael Kors had a huge selection! So, has anyone else seen this trend? Just wondered what everyone else thinks, or has seen!~

For the past couple of years Fur has really been "in". I think some of the coats and vests are gorgeous!

I haven't seen a lot of fur ... but I bought this mink a few years ago and it has never gone out of style.

Here's a picture:



I don't wear it out very often, mostly because I'm terrified of PETA advocates.

I haven't seen much fur.. I don't like fur, and I'd never wear it. I guess I'm a hyporcrite, because I like leather.

I think fur is really pretty. To me it is the same as a leather handbag, shoes, belts etc...
I would rather wear a fur coat than a leather one. JMO!

I wouldn't wear fur. Especially not after having my little chinchers. I love them and I could never imagine them as someone's fur coat. I like leather though... but I guess that is a little different than fur. I mean, the leather comes from cows that were being killed for food. Furry little animals that get made into fur coats are only raised for their fur and nobody eats the meat.

Oh, and in response to the original post, I actually haven't seen any fur around here. All I see are wool coats filling the department stores.

I think some fur pieces (as warhols coat) are really pretty, but I can't wear fur... plus, I live in South Texas...

oh, this reminds me of my newest post:

Have you checked out the latest Fashion Rocks mag? There is a beautiful fur vest featured in it.

Is this a pic of you? It looks like a modeling picture! The fur lookseally classy here, just not for me I guess. If I looked that good in it I would probably get one!!!!

Sorry but I would never wear fur either. I think it's incredibly mean to kill animals just for their fur. They completely torture them just to get the tiniest amount of fur off of them.

Sorry, just an animal advocate here. I'm not passing judgment on anyone!
