Trend Alert: Feather Earrings


If you missed the trend alert during the Spring 2011 Runway shows here's an update on an accessory must have in your summer wardrobe this season- feather earrings. It's one of the hottest trends this year showing up on fashionable celebrity lobes everywhere. From the runway, red carpet and on the street the bird isn't the word but FEATHERS is. And this phenomena doesn't stop with the ear because feathers are a versatile accessory all around gracing gorgeous necklaces, pendants, jackets, purse trim and even shoes. If dazzle me crystals were all the rage a season back it's been replaced by feathers or at least in a close race because let's face it shine & sparkle never lose it's luster. 

The best thing about feathers is that they can really pull a look together and anyone can rock it! You can go bold with pieces that flow languidly down to the neck or wear them short. Either way creating a showstopping look that also accentuates your hairstyle. Conservative? Feel like these might scream wild child? Opt for the more natural neutral tones. Want to be the center of attention?  Add a colorful pop to a dull outfit with hot neon shades such as bright fuchsia, turquoise, purple and orange that are trending colors this season. Rock n Roll much? Choose a pair with metal dangling hardware. And you need not own a full on Bohemian wardrobe to wear these because they can be paired with hip flared denim, a sexy night on the town dress and even with a more demure two piece ensemble. The added touch of these delicate nature inspired feathery wisps add a certain  chic, classic and feminine touch complementing any style.

A fabulous affordable little luxury available at various price points, colors, and  length that every woman can pull off as well as being a great investment piece. Feather's are one of those accessories that eventually turn up every season or so. Grab yourself several pairs and you'll always have them on stand by. I personally can attest to this because in my entire lifetime from toddler, tween, teen and up, feather accessories have always been a part of my life. Fly solo or flock with your friends to your fave boutique or outlet center this spring and happy shopping my fine feathered friends. Stay beautiful! XOXO 



On a personal note: My favorite recollection was back in junior high when girls were stabbing each other in the back to see who could wear the prettiest (and the most) feathers in their hair. Ah....childhood memories. Even thought I'm glad I managed to save a few pieces I'm certainly buying more because they are ten tines the fabulousness than they ever were back then. I managed to snag a purple pair for only $8.00 and can't wait to grab some more. Which one's will you buy?

P.S. PLEASE PURCHASE FEATHERS LABELED MAN MADE OR SYNTHETIC
YOU MUST CHECK LABEL-SOURCE OR CONTACT WEBSITE IF PURCHASED ONLINE

Keep in mind some genuine feathers are harvested cruelty free without any harm to the birds because they shed and pluck their own feathers during mulching process several times a year.
