Mary Kate Olsen`s Feather Dress – who Designed It?

The first thing that I think of when I hear anything that has to do with the Olsen twins is of course “Full House”. I am sure that I am not alone on this ether. 

Well here is this picture of Mary Kate wearing this awesome and sexy black feather dress.

As I have mentioned before in some of my other posts I really like the Goth look so this dress rates extra high by me.

Any ways it seems that she is also into the Goth look.

Read what Decorated Music has to say about it

But my question here is, is it a dress that she designed?

I would have to assume not because it was her prom dress but I couldn’t find out who did make it.

It could be that whoever made it was quit about it because it was called one of the worst prom dresses.

I am sure that it is far better looking than most prom dresses but still who designed and made it?

Let me know if you have any input. 

Feather Wigs

I love to find a new feather product that I can show all of our readers. Feather wigs are such an amazing and yet obvious use of feathers. Think about it, if the birds can cover their bodies with feathers why shouldn’t there be products out there for us to cover our heads with feathers. That is beside feather hats, because wearing a hat that has feathers on it is very different, in my humble opinion than a feather wig. A feather wig is beautiful because when you wear one the feathers are taking the place of your hair.

First we have this simple turkey hackle feather wig.

Even though this is the most simple feather wig that we are writing about it is still really nice looking.

You can see different colors by just following this link

Next we have this raven black feather wig.

This one is my personal favorite. It may be only because I like the gothic look but even though this is also a pretty simple feather wig, I think it is stunning.

Last we have this amazing purple and gold feather wig head piece.

Now this feather wig is a true work of art. Even the shoulder length purple hair is made from feathers.

I am actually very surprised that you can buy this one for only $75.00

Post a link to any other feather wigs that you know about.

Philip Treasy Feather Hats

Philip Treasy was born in Western Ireland in the 1960`s. in 1985 he moved to Dublin to go to the national college of art and design. During the time that he was studying there he began to make hats by hand to go along with the outfits that he designed. In those days when Philip would make hats by hand he looked at it as a hobby of his. Now you can find a simple looking hat of his on E-bay being sold for one thousand four hundred and seventy five dollars.

Talk about turning a hobby into a business!!

Because his work was so amazing he was awarded a place on the MA fashion design course at the royal college of art in London. Philip graduated with honors in 1990. Since then he has designed hats for the late Alexander McQueen, karl Lagerfeld, Ralph Lauren and Donna Karan.

This is a beautiful piece so simple but yet so full of detail.

Here are some pictures of feather hats that were made by Philip which I found on this blog lisawallerrogers.blogspot.com.

Here is a picture of Philip with the late hat fancier Isabella Blow. Just look at all those feathers in that hat, amazing.

This is a picture of Princess Eugenie wearing one of Philips feather headpieces at some fancy occasion.

Take a look at this picture of Lady Gaga wearing one of Philips feather wreaths.

Last here is a picture of Jodie Kidd wearing a Treacy saucer with pheasant flowers.

Do you have any other Philip Treacy feather hats you want to share with us?

Feather Shoes

After I found such great feather vests I went for feather boots. But the truth is that what I found was for the most part not boots but shoes. So hence the name of this post is feather shoes and not feather boots. It works well because boots are shoes right.

So thanks to shoeblog.com I found these four feather shoes all on the same site.

This first shoe is something like the cover shoe for their blog post. It is really cute but they don’t say where you could buy them.

Next we have here this anouk boot by Delman that is beautifully decorated with feathers.

Available at endless.com but was out of stock when this post was written.

Take a look

Did you know that Gwen Stefani created a company called L.A.M.B? Well I didn’t but L.A.M.B is an acronym for "Love Angel Music Baby" and they have created a pair of feather shoes. 

They created this high heal feather slipper. This feather shoe is also available at endless.com and was also out of stock when this post was written.

Check it out

Last up we have this second pair of high heal feather sandals. 

These Urania feather and leather pump sandals by Givenchy are available at net-a-porter.com.

At the time that this post was written they were being sold at a 40% off discounted price, $690 instead of $1,150.

Take a look

Well that’s all for now maybe I will write another post on feather shoes because there is so much out there.

Do you have any feather shoes you want to tell us about?

Feather Vests

I never thought that I would find so many great looking feather vests that you could buy on the internet, but low and behold there is a vast selection of awesome looking feather vests for sale out there.

They come in all different colors and styles. The prices range from $85 - $900 and up and the last one I am going to show you has a link to an explanation how to make it from scratch (but you need to know knit or crochet).

First off we have this baby pink feather vest which is being sold for 640 pounds.

It looks great and seems that it could be worn both casually and also for the more formal occasions.

Next we have this Dolce Cabo's suede and faux feather vest ($85) from Dillard's.

This one is more my style it has a rock and roll feel about it.

I found it on this web site http://www.commercialappeal.com/photos/2010/nov/12/195682/

The next three vests I found at http://www.shopstyle.com

This white Irina feather vest is being sold for $900 which seems like a bit much to me but at least you get free shipping.

She isn’t selling it, just telling you how to make it.

Awesome feather vest, do you have any you would like to tell us about?

Peacock Feathers - Not Just The Tail

Peacock feathers are really popular for a reason.

They are absolutely stunning!

 The perfect combination of colors, in beautiful patterns that create the rich and colorful image of the eye that the peacock tail feathers are so famous for. But the peacock has many other beautiful feathers that don’t get the same amount of publicity as the tail feathers.

Take a look at these three different feathers that come from the peacock, but are not the tail feather.
They each have beautiful colors and can be used for all sorts of feather crafts and fashions.

Peacock Plumage - Natural Black

Look at the awesome contrast of te black with the green in these feathers.
Also a big plus about these feathers that we have to mention is the low price. Think about how much you can do with these feathers when you can get them at such a low cost.

Peacock Black Partridge

These feathers in addition to their great color combination also have great patterns in them.

Peacock Mini Blue Wings

I am absolutely in love with the blue in these feathers. How can you not be? Just look at it!

These are just three of the beautiful feathers that you can find at FeatherStore.com.
COME AND TAKE A LOOK.
