Feathers!

Feathers are really big this summer.  Whether it is peacock feathers, tribal feathers or plain feathers, you will see them on jewelry, hair pieces and clothes.  So, have fun with feathers!  Just make sure you don’t look like a chicken by wearing too many!  “Everything in good moderation” is my motto for styling.
