Trend Alert: Shearling

Shearling is a hot trend for Winter 2010. Shearling is a sheepskin or lambskin pelt that has gone through a limited shearing process to obtain a uniform depth of the wool fibers for a uniform look and feel (wikipedia). I remember receiving my first sheepskin jacket when I was 5 and my first shearling when I was 10 so this style has been around for years. However, it is much more trendy! Here are a few shearling items for you to add to your wardrobe to stay warm yet fashion forward. Thoughts Lovies?
