Feather Hair Extensions

Last season when I was watching American Idol (guilty pleasure!), I didn’t quite understand the feathers in Steven Tyler’s hair, but he could pull it off. And the more I saw him, the more I started to love the trend. I just couldn’t help myself.

I’m not daring enough to go and get feather extensions actually threaded in, but I am lucky to have an awesomely attentive family member who follows me on Twitter and took note of this new trend I’m in to. She happened to be out and about and picked me up TWO feather extension clips. One is more subtle and one is more fun. How perfect! Not only am I the proud owner of some feathers, but I now have options. Priceless.

I wore my fun feathers this past weekend. I don’t know why, but I love the white synthetic hair strand attached to it. It makes me feel like Rogue from X-Men.

What are your thoughts on this trend?

Flatform Shoes = Trend Fail

Who created the ‘flatform‘? It’s a platform flat. Though women often do wish to appear taller than they are – hence the demand for 4″ stilettos - I’m not sure strapping bricks to your feet is really the way to achieve such an illusion. I haven’t seen this “trend” in Chicago or surrounding burbs (thankfully!), but regardless of whether it makes its way here or not, I vote trend fail.
