If you are looking to add a bit of panache to your wardrobe, try plumage. The idea of feathery accessories started really gaining traction last year. I first noticed the trend last winter while visiting Akira, a Chicago Boutique staple who offered fantastical feathered head bands. And now this season it has become a full on fashion trend. With many offerings from the outrageous to the demure. So now for the Fabulous, The Frugal, and The Fun.
Born and raised in Chicago's Hyde Park neighborhood designer, Aya- Nikole Cook on on a whim created a pair of pheasant feathered earrings to wear out for a night on the town. While dancing the night away she was repeatedly asked where she found them. After divulging that she was the creator she received several orders and a business was born which she named HAJI Couture. Her feathery jewelry is now available in Chicago at: The Museum of Contemporary Art, and The Silver Room, and in New York at Henri Bendel. The Feathered earrings in the picture are $188.00
The Frugal
Leave it to Urban Outfitters to be on trend and within budget. This feathery headband retails for $25.00. Making it a practical buy if you aren't sure if you will still be into feathers by the time next season rolls around.
The Fun
If you would like a feather in your cap try this hat by Anna Sui. What whimsy fun you will feel while parading around in this cap, plus if you are feeling more plain than peacocky (yes I made that word up) simply take the feather brooch off. It is detachable so have fun attaching it to a coat, a tank top or anything else that you can think of that would benefit from a feather infusion. Buy it at Shopbop.com for $81.00.
