Let’s Flock Together

feather clip.jpgMcQueen and Cavalli both went for plumage this season, but how realistic is a peacock tail if you’re not in Victorian costume?


We really want to test-drive the feather trend, but we still keep in mind the wise reminder from Style.com that, “feathers may be the new fur, but they’re not necessarily easy to wear—there’s a fine line between super-chic and Big Bird.”

Natalie satisfied her feather craving with Yarborough’s gorgeous necklaces, and now we’ve decided to get in on the trend with this awesome Grey and Black Pheasant pin that we stumbled across on the otherwise hokey art teacher/Upper West Side mom-ish website Frou Frou collection.

You can clip it to black ballet flats, stick it in your hair, or attach it to the strap of an otherwise yawn-worthy cocktail dress.

For a website that repeatedly boasts about not wearing fur, you sure are quick to embrace this feather trend.

How do you think all these pheasant feather, etc. are obtained? I'll give you a hint: It ISN'T by following the bird around and picking up feathers after they've just happened to fall out.

Please try to choose a cruelty-free alternative to feathers.

What about the Urban Outfitters Feather Headband a while back? I can't seem to find the damn thing anywhere (it's so bloody cute on). BCBG has a version, but I have morally complicated problems with buying a headband for $98.
