I mean really, how can I resist two of my favorite things??

Birds of a Feather

I’ll say it: I like the feather hair extension trend.

But if you’re like me, you don’t like getting stuck with permanent accessories you have to match all outfits too, and the idea of crimping a feather into your hair makes you a little nervous…

Luckily, queen of all hipsters Urban Outfitters has some alternatives:

A single earring…

Johnique by The Desert Child Feather Single Earring, $38

A temporary clip…

Double Feather Hair Clip, $19

Or a headband…

Feather Drop Headband, $20

Ugh I so wish I could pull off this look!

Brydferth: Handmade Fabric Rosette Accessories

I adore flowers.

Ok, generic statement, who doesn’t?  But I especially love them because they, like my own style, can either go preppy or hippy.  This Etsy designer, Brydferth, has created the most beautiful rosette accessories.  Headbands, barrettes, clutches, rings, shoe clips, even a bridal veil!

Black Lace and Golden Silk Rosette Bracelet, $25

Lavender Silk Rosette Shoe Clips with Bluette Clips, $34

Turquoise Blue Cotton Rosette Bobby Pin, $8

Rosette Headband, $34

For the Bride Rosette Hair Piece with Bird Cage, $70

Leanna at The Violet Reaction is hosting a Brydferth giveaway this week: winner receives a custom cotton rosette bobby pin!  I don’t know how I’d even choose a color if I were lucky enough to receive it– will probably end up buying a few on my own anyway :)

Check out more of these great accessories here, and let me know what your favorites are.  I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: thank goodness for Etsy!

Kate Middleton Style

I am not the least bit ashamed to admit that I am totally enthralled in the Royal Wedding.  I’ve had a crush on Prince William since about 1997, but I am completely supportive of his relationship with Kate as long as I can follow along with their wedding plans.

I find Kate’s style to be so elegant and flawless– she’ll fit quite perfectly in the royal family, that’s for sure.

In honor of the wedding being just TWO weeks away, here’s my one of my Kate-inspired outfits, thanks to my new favorite online store, ModCloth.  They have such a flair for British style, and it’s so much easier to order from San Francisco than London!  I also included a few outside vendors for the jewelry, and if you can get your hands on that sapphire, then I say there is no reason why you can’t go mixing silver and gold!
