Instead of shying away from her injuries,  Lauren Scruggs has bravely showed off her amputated arm for the first time since a small plane propeller cut off her left hand four months ago.

Dressed in a green and black running outfit with a huge smile on her face, the 23-year-old fashion blogger/model was spotted shopping with her parents at a Plano, Texas, sports store this week, where she seemed unfazed by her missing limb and even used it to hang her small white purse from.

Two days after she was horrifically slashed by the propeller of a small plane, model and fashion blogger Lauren Scruggs is becoming aware of her graphic injuries, RadarOnline.com has learned.

The 23-year-old from Plano, Texas, is currently recovering in the ICU after undergoing surgery to amputate her left hand. "As Lauren begins to wake up, she is learning the extent of her injuries," revealed CaringBridge.org, the web blog set up in her honor.

As RadarOnline.com previously reported, the pretty blonde had gotten off the two-seater 2011 Aviat Husky A-1C-180 aircraft at a private airport in McKinney, Texas, after enjoying a festive flight to look at Christmas lights, and reportedly walked directly in front of the propeller.

Most kids have to be content with their mom taking them to the zoo, or a trip to the park.

But Angelina Jolie’s son Maddox had an awesome play date Friday when he went for a flying lesson with her in England, and RadarOnline.com has the pics.

Brad has said recently that he’s happy that he chose Angie as the mother of his children and you can see why.
