You've Ruffled My Feathers

Fashion is a flutter right now with feathers! If you are looking to make a statement and have someone notice how stunning you look, then get your hands on anything with a little added birdy touch. From skirts to capes, to shirts to scarves , feathers are on just about everything from minimal to extreme the choice is yours!
Every season Elizabeth and James has feather detail in at least one piece of the collection, but this time around they have paid homage to this trend with a couple pieces. My favorite is the ostrich feather skirt. Perfect for a glamorous Saturday night out! Add a cute pair of boots or any edgy type of shoe and a toned down top and step out on the town.

This strapless dress with feather detailing on the bottom is great for any holiday party you have coming up in the next couple of months or a night filled with dancing!

Choose this feather boyfriend blazer (which I am so completely in love with) for a little extra excitement at work or anything “business casual” where you want to professional, but fashion forward.

If strutting your stuff like a peacock isn’t your thing, add just a pinch of the trend with a top like this one by Alice + Olivia:


Or you can go really subtle with a feather print dress:

There are so many dress and skirt choices to wear to any occasion this season. For example, this beaded feather dress by Sue Wong or this dress by Badgley Mischka.


Marchesa is never a design house to disappoint and Georgina Chapman has used two trends; the mini and feathers all in one dress:

Alice + Olivia and Robert Rodriguez each have two different styles of skirts, both beautiful!


Haute Hippie has a version that is similar and much more affordable than all those high end designers:

Jason Wu has stolen my heart ever since he arrived on the fashion scene a few years ago. His collection for Fall 2010 has this sophisticated and feminize feather top that would look perfect tucked into a sleek black trouser, skirt, or trouser shorts and tights.

A vest in any form is always a necessity for the colder weather and a more casual option.

It’s about that time to stock up on hats, scarves, and anything that can keep you cozy when concurring the great outdoors, but that doesn’t mean you have to dress like your going skiing or climbing Mt. Everest. Throw on a scarf or cape to keep the glam going.



For those bad hair days or when your ensemble needs that extra oomph, add a feather fedora!



Now go out, gather your flock of friends and grab whichever piece matches your personal style!
