Styling with N : Feathers

This season, we have seen feathers on the runways frequently and I am always asked how to wear them in a way that is stylish and less costume-y. I personally love the look of feathers, they add this fashion forward statement if done right. Here is a look i compiled as a styling suggestion on how to do feathers right.

Top : Madison Marcus available at Blush Boutique

Jeand: Current/Elliott available at Shopbop

Bag: Foley + Corrina 'city tote' available at Blush Boutique

Ring: Dannijo

Shoes: Alexander Mcueen 'Faithful' open toe booties

Cuff: Roberto Cavalli available at Net-a-Porter

• To Begin with I used this gorgeous feathers top by Madison Marcus from the selection at Blush Boutique as the backbone of the look. The key here is to pick the statement piece and have the rest of your look complement it by keeping it simple.
• I paired the top with this skinny Current/Elliott jean in a dark wash to sort of act like a frame to the top and highlight it.
• A Metallic Bag is really a gorgeous addition to the look, glamming it up. I love this Foley + Corinna city bag from the selection at Blush Boutique. The iconic shape and simplicity pulls up the look.
• The right shoe for this look in my opinion is something that toughens it up, making it sharp and right on trend. Which is why i picked this divine pair by Alexander McQueen, its one of this season's must have militaty booties with their signature skull detail on the zipper. I personally own a pair and find myself adding it to so many outfits to keep them right on trend.
• For accessories, i kept it simple. Mainly a ring and a cuff. I adoreeeee this snake cuff by Roberto Cavalli, the colour really play up against the olive theme.

  There is a sort of freedom in this look that resembles the city style vibe and trend going around now, This look is my style aesthetic in daily life, boho meets rocker chic. It's summer layering done in easy fabrics of silks and jerseys.
• 
  
  To start with, the main point is the demin shorts and a white tank, which is like a canvas that you can create so many looks with.
• 
  
  I threw on a long silk cardigan , which seems to be my uniform for this season! I adore Winter Kate and Kite & Butterfly, they have so many versatile and gorgeous pieces, and you should stock up on them this season and wear them forever, you can find the variety at Blush Boutique
• 
  
  To me any look is not complete without jewelry, I like piling mine and i love statement pieces. The necklaces shown above can be worn with anything and they give this tough chic look to any outfit. I also love statement bold rings. I actually collect them! This one shown above by Pamela Love is a gorgeous one and definately a hot buy.
• 
  
  For heels, I paired these purple Louboutins, which give a pop of unexpected yet contrasting colour with the look. They make the outfit more fashion forward and spot on!
• 
  
  Now for the handbag situation, I wanted something with a downtown cool vibe mixed with a vintage like appeal and of course the perfect fit was the PS1 which has taken the fahsion scene by storm! It pulls the outfit together in such a cool way.
• 
  
  Sunglasses go without saying when we say Daytime style, it adds allure and mystery. I think they can make a first impression of the outfit, giving it the final vibe you want to go for. This Alexander Wang zipper detailed one is what i was going for ; an edgy look on a classic shape. The zipper details give it a rock chic air.
• 
  
  Last but not least , my beauty note here would be smoky eyes or defined eyes with nude lips and a bit of bronzer. One of the best eyeliners around , this Bobby Brown cream gel is long lasting, and you apply it with a brush so its less messy for people who don't have steady hands. You can create gorgeous smoky strokes with it.
