Feathers will fly



Feathers are big this Winter so prepared to get poked in the neck by them when you are kissing your fashionable friends. So here is a post about feathers, I think I am in love...

The latest copy of Vogue has a feature called Diary of a dress, which focusses on Burberry Prorsom's feather dress which first headed down the runway on February 18 2008, during Burberry Prorsom's autumn/winter 08 show in Milan.

A bit like this...


You may have seen the dress in the Burberry ad campaign on Rosie Huntingdon Whiteley, who models in the campaign alongside the delectable Sam Riley. The feature is actually really interesting and notes how the dress is flown all around the globe, requested by the likes of Demi Moore, Kate Hudson, Mary J Blige, Gwyneth Paltrow and Agyness Deyn and repaired a few times in between.

In case you are interested the magazines who request it include, W, Dazed, Grazia, Tatler, French Vogue, Another Magazine, The Financial Times, US Glamour, L'Officiel, British Vogue, Italian Vogue and I think thats it. Yeah it seems like its only dry cleaned once too, hmmm. I personally love this feathered dress and here are a few more feather looks you might want to go for....

Topshop's turkey feather cape hits so many trends at the same time and at £60, its a touch cheaper than anything Burberry have to offer.



ASOS have a great feather fascinator up on the site for £18



(i'm obsessed with this girl's hair)

New Look have a more subtle black top with feather details, which includes feather detail on the neckline at the back



Warehouse have come up trumps with the below dress, perfect for Xmas parties!



If you have loads of money bag yourself this Fendi feather trimmed dress...

Not quite Luella



Everyone wants this dress, its gorgeous. Only thing is not everyone can afford the price tag - including my poor self. So why not hop to Debenhams Red Herring section and buy this copy for £60...while you are in Debenhams check out the Red Herring bags, they are hot.



For more Luella rip offs, Lipsy are selling an identical layered ra ra skirt for £40

Emma Cook for Fred Perry



For those who haven't seen the new Fred Perry womenswear shop in Covent Garden, I implore you to check out the website so you can devour the Emma Cook collection.

Fred Perry is a staple for the mod / ska types out there and the female advertising campaign features 60's inspired girls with lashings of eye liner and severe brunette bobs - which I love!

Having experienced why not to wash a Fred Perry t-shirt (if any children out there want some FP polos send them to me) I have to say that for what you get, it can be a tad over-priced and this is pretty off putting.

However, the Emma Cook for Fred Perry has lured me back into the shop, above is a montage of the outfits - the dresses are definitely the best - i just love the over-sized crests. Ranging from 80-120 quid the dresses are something to save up for just don't put them in the wash!
