Fashion Friday: Feather Head

August 12, 2011 5:00:00 AM EDT

feather headNot sure if you've noticed, but hair feathers are all the rage right now!  Like hair extensions, these feathers are attached to the hair.  They are clipped or glued on to the existing hair and you can wash and style them just as you would the rest of your hair. When you grow tired of them you can have them removed.  Girls (and a few guys) of all ages and lengths of hair are rushing to hair salons across the country to get the famous feathers attached to their hair.  There’s an endless variety colors - some bold and bright & others are subtle and blend in to your nature hair.  

Though this is an amazingly cool tool & look for salons and people to try, it has had some drawbacks. This sudden craze of hair feathers has caused some controversy because the feather dealers are running out of stock.  It seems that the same feathers used in the sport fly-fishing are also the feathers being used on the hair.  This is creating a rift between the fashionable salons and the fly fishers.  These types of feathers are not just any old feather they are a rare bred rooster feathers and there are only 12 known breeders in the world!feathers

Fashion Friday: Seeing RED

July 22, 2011 1:42:23 PM EDT

In the heat of summer, it's hard to believe that fall is just around the corner (especially these last few days). Following the lead from summer colors, fall is all about bright vibrate colors. The hues are definitely becoming more and more intense with deep saturation. One color in particular that is leading the color trend is RED.

This classic color is gracing the runways of many designers this season. Outerwear, dresses, shoes, handbags, sweater and coats are all coming up red. There is even a lot of head-to-toe red. All red hues are the driving this trend and one thing is certain -  the brighter the better! So call it apple, merlot, ruby, scarlet or tomato but just be sure to embrace this color whether you paint your nails red or throw on a bright red coat.

The best part of red fashions, are that they don't put you in the red. So, be bold and go paint the town red!

Fashion Friday: Get SHORTY!

July 8, 2011 4:16:04 PM EDT

Shorts have never been my cup-of-tea, for may reasons, but mostly I have never found them to be flattering on women. This season I have decided to give shorts a second chance and for the first time in my life, I simply can't get enough of them.

There are so many options in style right now, it should not be difficult to find the perfect pair for just about anyone. Most immediately, turn to the old traditional denim shorts and surprisingly these shorts are the most difficult to wear for the majority of us.

I would highly recommend looking into some of the other chic shorts popping up by the handfuls in floral, lace, scalloped edged, bright colored, suede and, even leather! Most importantly, don't limit yourself to only day shorts. Shorts with so many pretty details look great for warm evening dinners or nights out on the town.
