She’s a senior and while she may be dealing with a bad case of Senioritis, her style certainly isn't. No matter what time she wakes up in the morning - sometimes ten minutes before class...and sometimes ten minutes after it's started - Jessica always stays fly and manages to pull on something cute.
Ever since Rachel Zoe became a permanent fixture in our TV lives and our everyday vernacular, faux fur vests and trims has found their way into our closets and our hearts. Everywhere you look these days there's someone lookin' all warm, snuggly and painfully chic underneath a faux fur something.
