1 - designer sierra dew's hand hammered aztec earrings update the feathery look with metal mystique.

2 - wings hawaii transforms a vintage belt buckle rubbing into a trio of handcut thunderbird designs.

island crush: feather flourish

i have shied away from all things feathery since the valley girl barrette religiously worn in the fourth grade . . . and then i spied modern philosophy's drop back feather lariat.

the plumed beauties are an unexpected play on the feather trend, and the perfect foil for a summery updo and peekaboo back.

$125 in-store at the butik.
