Latest Style Obsession- Fascinators

At the moment I am totally in love with fascinators- any kind of head piece involving netting and I am in!
They were all over the couture shows in Paris due to their timeless elegance but they were also seen with an edgy twist at many of the spring summer runways as well.

I am going to have to devote a whole section of this post to Luella's gorgeous fascinators from S/S 09:







Even the big couture collections were doing fascinators this year, such as here at Valentino A/W 09:



Alexander McQueen and his very original take on the netting trend:


And last but not least of all the different kinds of netted head gear is PPQ's fabulous stuff:



But my affordable fascinator fix will have to be from Accessorize, where they have loads of different colours and styles, a couple of my favourites pictured below:

Latest Style Obsession- Fabulous Feathers!


At the moment I am obsessing over all things feathery. So glamorous, so sophisticated and perfect for spring/summer.
So take a look at my favourite finds; I could "oooh" and "aaah" at them all day...
Fist up I give you the ostrich feather mini skirt that has been featured in Grazia Magazine and also by Gok Wan on his 'Fashion Fix' programme (Make note- Its on Thursdays on Channel 4 at 8pm- not to be missed!)
This TopShop beauty is just gorgeous and the ultimate spring party skirt for £60.

Another lover of feathers is Katasha Khan from the band Bat For Lashes:


I am tempted to make my own DIY feather head band a bit like Natashas here with some feathers I have found in VV Rouleaux.
Yes I will probably get the piss taken out of me if I wear it, and get called Pocahontas but I dont care.

I could not leave out a photograph of this this outstanding wedding dress I came across on the internet. It is a dress made of 2009 peacock feathers and is also embellished with 60 Hetian Jade stones. It took 8 people 2 months to finish and not suprisingly costs $1.4 million dollars.
But on your wedding day you want all eyes to be on you so this show stopper would still be worth every penny.

Edit- Check out the Burberry prorsum feather dress photos that I have finally managed to get ahold of:
