A requested picture

Fall/Winter 2011

The 2011 fall/winter collections are starting to roll out on department store websites.

The good news for fur lovers, there's lots of it.  The bad news is, it's a really mixed bag in terms of styles.  It seems there's a split between shaggy and sleek, and much of the shaggy might be warm, but isn't all that flattering to the figure.
