I’m so into feathers lately – and my fascination with them has come a long way from the construction paper and Elmer’s glue creations that I once used to showcase the stray feathers I’d find on the farm as a child.

Feathers are such a graceful accent to any outfit and add a touch of the Southwest, which I always love. Here are just a few of my faves!

Oooh… what I would have given to see this one in time for our company’s holiday party this year! Francesca black jersey sleeveless tank dress with feather trim from Alice + Olivia.

A friend sent this pic of the pretty peacock feather clutch (above) and couldn’t remember where she found it.  Please let me know if you know where it’s from!
