Here are some adorable alternatives for those of us ladies who are pet-less and/or aren’t into fur or animal prints. I love animals. Unfortunately, I have zero time to care for one, so I’m just going to have to buy animal jewelry to make up for it. At least that’s what I like to tell myself. Owl bags, bulldog rings, elephant bangles, bird scarves—I’m a softy for all things animal. Lucky for us, animals are popular in fashion right now and there’s plenty of species to choose from. Kenneth Jay Lane is probably the most recognizable of animal-jewelry designers. His funky pieces and unexpected creatures like hedgehogs and elephants are quite collectible to jewelry lovers. So if you’re unable to go on a safari or rescue a homeless pet, adopt an accessory instead. Like this Kenneth Jay Lane elephant bangle, $126.

Marc by Marc Jacobs Bird Scarf, $178.

Betsey Johnson Bulldog Ring, $45.

Timmy Woods Owl Bag, $172.50.
