ooh this makes me want a feather belt or headband. really cute!
Feathers, they look great in dresses.
I love the Badgley Mischka feathered vest, it is so beautiful!
And let's not forget the gorgeous feathered Nina Ricci poncho Carrie used in Sex and the City!
Love your posts, they are like mini coverage of whats hot. Love feathers and I am lusting for those earrings, I have already checked them out at netaporter..The headband is fab, I am thinking on making one myself.
love feathers at the right places especially on fedora...now i want one ;-)
impressed with the baby phat outfit u posted, not a big fan of their creation--but that mini dress u posted, i can rock :)
I so want a feather head piece at the very least.
The Cynthia Vincent belt is really gorgeous-I love it!
and it is really cool, I need some feathers now!
a kiss!!!
I'm loving those red shoes!
Feather eyelashes? Best idea ever! Great examples of the trend, they all look gorgeous. Very convincing. The feather industry should be advertising here. ;)
I would love a feathered dress, but only if the feathers were fake and not real.
I loooove the very first picture, I have wanted some of those huge burleqsue feather fans for AGES!
its funny, cuz i dont really like feathers, but lately I´ve seen it everywhere... nice
Love the feather postings....feathers bring a sexy side to fashion!
Wow, great entry! I've alway been fascinated with feathers, I've already made a DIY brooch with feathers to put on my hat. Haha, thanks for the lovely comment on my blog. Keep up the good fashion work!
I'm loving the plumed feathers..it's so Marie Antoinette! :)
I've added you..great blog!
WOW... feathers and red shoes! That first photo is GREAT! Nice collection of feather couture!
the most glamorous feathers I have ever seen...I would love to be adorn in feathers head to toe for just one day.
Emily Blunt looks incredible in that picture! I've never tried feathers before but I really like the Baby Phat dress...I might have to investigate feathers a little further...
can't get enough of them. would love to be slim hipped enough to wear a dress with a feather skirt. maybe I could rock on with a feather bustier tho...
At first I thought feathered apparel was tacky....until I
saw thoses dresses! And I love
that blazer with feathers on
the bottom. But feathers can
work with almost anything,like
those Shu Uemera false lashes!
And those Loubotin sandals with
feathers! And the headband...and
I could go on!
feathers, yes! it's great as at the very least you can get the headband, but that yigal azrouel is Beautiful!
i'm a huge fan of feathers! i'm all about incorporating them into hairstyles. thanks for all of the great tips.
thanks for the lovely comment! RAMONAS LOVE FEATHERS! we want it to be fall already! New York/Miami are BURNING! Feathers would serve as a weapon of mass desturction :)
love feathers! although at this time of year can be used as a weapon of mass destruction! lol
OMG these pictures are gorgeous! I love looking at all of them!
I love the Pamella Roland wrap and the feather headband. Plus I'm definately all over those feather lashes!
i would like to see feathers cooperated in more of flappers kind of looks :}
Feathers really add an elegance. I'm trying to block out images of showgirls.
I love the Luca Luca look and Angel Sanchez one too. Those pictures are so awesome and thanks for including so many =] xx pam
Love the Dennis Basso and Herve Ledger dresses the most. Beautiful!
Beautiful! You've become a daily "must read" for me!!!
I'm so excited about these looks! Can't wait for a/f to roll around :)

during a december trip to frigid london some years ago i dared to wear a hat for the first time in my life (i always thought i looked ugly in them). now i can't live withouth them and my collection keeps growing day by day.
feathers were a bit too daring for me until i saw your post, but, well, guess i'll have to travel to london again and open myself up once again... and do some shopping as well, of course hehe
Oooo they are sooo beautiful, love the pink dress :) Although feathers can be a tad hard to work at times, I think they look fantastic!
How cute are those feather earrings?
Answer: VERY
I think the feather dresses might be a bit too tickely for me! haha! I really love the feathers on the accessories though - they are stunning on that headband.
Love feathers even if it's not easy to wear but the Louboutin's Rosazissimo is to die for!
man you always have so many comments on your blogs, u go girl! i definitely think feathers can be chic if worn right...i want to invest in a pair of shu feather eyelashes!
I love the dress from Angel Sanchez. I have one from Alberta Ferretti that it's black with feathers but I lost some in different parties (it's the feather problem, you lose part of them always)
Kisses Vivi
I really love how feathers call to mind saucy burlesque dancers and can can dancers!
Dear, I am in love with feather, lace and ruffles! To be totally honest, your post makes me want to go out now to grab a vintage feather fascinator even more! Feather gives such an individual and fun look! Your post is just purely inspirational xxxxxxx
ah i love that first picture
colored denim would definitely make an outfit look fun. i don't own any right now though.
Great suggestion! I must have an headband as that you advice in this post, i'm desperately looking for an high quality one for a wedding ceremony in september.
Feathers are so fabulous and glamorous, I'm really excited for this trend and hope that it carries over into the mainstream this upcoming FW season :)
P.S. Thank you SO much for the comment! CC is one of my favourite fashion blogs to check every morning, so it was really very cool to receive such a lovely comment from you.
yaay for feathers!!! :))) these are so cool, i love this coming fall's trend of ruffled feather hems!!! xoxo, lulu
Wonderful post! I'm so loving the feathers right now! Those Ra Creations feather earrings are especially lovely :) I actually just thrifted a feathered hat band that I'm trying to decide what to do with. Thanks for the inspiration!
Wonderful examples of feather fashion. I just started making my own Fancy Feather Eyelashes. Check them out at capturedimagination.com. I also plan on extending my feather accessories available online to include feather chokers and eadbands soon. Thanks for the well written article.
I make custom high heels and am obsessed with feathers at the moment. This is a beautiful collection! I posted a link to my Twitter this morning about it :) http://twitter.com/eidialush
