Feathers and Shoes.. Shoes and Feathers!

Anyone who followed Fashion Week will be aware that feathers are all the rage this Spring. Many featured items by major designers such as Ralph Lauren, Dior and Chanel were adorned with beautiful feathers. They give off a light, airy and delicate feel which is perfect for the sunny Spring season. The key thing with feathers is to keep it simple, either wear an item of clothing or an accesory. Don't over do it, otherwise you end up looking like Big Bird from Sesame Street - which is never a good look!

This is a picture from Ralph Laurens Spring 2012 Collection - the nude colours are simply gorgeous and ooze classiness. Just perfect!

So keeping the feathered theme in mind, I was looking online for some new sandals and I fell completely in love with these beauties from River Island. The price tag is reasonable (£40) and these turquoise feathers are totally up my street. They also come in black for those not digging the bright colours! These sandals would look lovely whether you wear them with a maxi dress or denim cut offs.



I also cast my eyes over these gorgeous shoes too but being designer and totally out of my price range, I simply ogled at them and then looked away. A girl can dream.

My top tip for feathers is that they are quite delicate as well as nearly impossible to clean, so it's probably not a wise idea to spend a lot of money on pieces that feature feathers, no matter how divine they may be!
