TAKING FLIGHT

There's something about feathered fashion that makes my heart beat a little faster. The glamour, decadence and luxury of the ruffling when you twist and turn. Feathers make a lady unique, bold, glamorous, they create a story, a talking point. I don't think you would just throw feathers on, they have a purpose; to mark an occasion, to make a statement, to provide a presence. They make me dream of winter weddings, the glamour of Gatsby, the put together fabulousness. They take me back to an era that seems long gone, where woman made a concerned effort in their appearance before they left the house, before bed hair, high tops and bombers. Yes these are all great in their own right but I just dream of the old school glamour, the luxurious fabrics, sequins, silks and lace. C'mon prince.........take me to the Gatsby ball.
