Mini-Trend: Bird is the Word

Shake Your Tail Feathers: Red Carpet Plumage confirms the arrival of the feather trend!  Checking out recent red-carpet photos, we were struck by the notable trend in over-the-top aviary accessories.  From the Cannes International Film Festival to film premieres to the superhero-themed gala for the Metropolitan Museum's Costume Institute, actresses have left behind the minimalist chic of the Academy Awards that had us dozing off for awhile and transformed themselves into birds in full bloom.

Is it slightly wacky, a little crazy, and completely ostentatious?  Sure.  But you know what? It’s also totally fun and a perfect way to accessorize for summer.  We love Urban Outfitters' fun and funky feather accessories collection, from earrings to necklaces and beguiling headpieces…all under $20.

More on the Bird trend:

  • Anthropologie’s fabulous bird-themed home accessories
  • Birding, anyone?  Check out the Wild Nature Guide to the Hamptons
  • Might as well "bird" in style with Swarovski's stunning Crystal Pocket Binoculars
  • The re-imagining of fave NYC restaurant Provence.  NY Mag assures us the updated version, named Hundred Acres, will boast American “craft” themed food and will be even better than the original--and you can practice your bird calls
