Feathered Angel Costumes

Get some great ideas on what you can dress up as this Halloween.

Maybe an angel.

When people think of Halloween most of the time people think of the ghost and goblins. But what about the 

angles? You need to have some angels to help you and give you guidance also.

Dressing up as an angle for Halloween is a great idea also.

Take a look at some of these great Halloween costumes that we found and let us know what you think.

Although Ka`s angel costume that made it into Rolling Stone magazine was not for Halloween but for the Burning Man festival it is for sure the best angle costume I have seen yet.

Then of course you have the sexy angle costumes. Of you have the two distinct types. The good sexy angle will typically have white feathers and blond hair. And the bad sexy angle dark hair and dark feathers.

And then I found this guy that can’t seem to make up his mind, but who cares he is having fun.

Last for this post you have the true angle here just to save the world

Whatever angle you want to be this Halloween you are going to need a set of wings.

Take a look at this post on how to make feather wings and just have fun.

Fall feather fashion 2013

Leaves falling on the ground and feathers blowing in the wind.

This fall season just before it starts to get really cold out you can add color and flare to your wardrobe with the newest in the feather fashion department.

“Feathers have been shown in so many collections fall-winter 2013-2014. Invariably, this comfortable material got a lot of attention and disputation” fallwinterfashiontrends.com

 Gucci and Dries Van Noten were especially feathery when they showed off their newest styles on the runways of New York and London.

Here are some of Dries Van Notens feather clad works.

Van Noten didn’t just put the feathers on his dresses but he also added a bit of feather flare to this bag.

And here you can see that Gucci took a bit of a more gothic style to their feather out fits.

Here are two pictures from the Blonds of New York Fall 2013 collection. They called this collection “Slasher Sashay” now how great of a name is that!

Don’t forget that you can add feathers to all of your outfits using feathers from FeatherStore.com.

Simply attach any of your favorite feathers to your clothing or wrap one of our feather boas around your neck to keep out that chill that the air has this time of year.

D.I.Y Feather Picture Frame

My friends, it is time for a DIY!

Who doesn’t love a quick, fun, craft?

Recently, I told you all about those gorgeous feather frames. Well, now I’m going to teach you how to make your own!

These are so unique and so personal. No one else will have one like it. They are also the perfect gift.

So to start, buy a plane wood frame. You can find them cheap at dollar stores, craft stores, or pretty much anywhere else.

1.      Remove the glass and backing, then lay flat on a newspaper.

2.      Prime the frame with white paint. This will keep your layers even, and reduce the number of coats you need.

3.      PAINT! This is where you get to express your creative side. Paint it all one color, stripes, flowers, hearts… whatever you like best! If you want to try something really special, you can paint an ombre blend. To do so, paint three colors, from light to dark, with a small empty space between them. Then blend the three colors with a paintbrush. Viola!

4.      Let the frame dry

5.      When it’s dry, attach the feather of your choosing.

6.      Spray the frame with 2 coats of acrylic paint sealer. Let it dry between coats.

There it is! You’ve made your own frame! If you want to make it extra special, add glitter like this chic artist did:

OR

If you want to spruce up an already existing frame, flip it over, and use a hot glue gun to attach your favorite kind of feathers.

This crafty mama did black on black and it came out super chic!

Go crazy! Enjoy!

Feather Picture Frames

These last few weeks I’ve been having lots of company. My kids are running in and out of the house, other parents drop by; friends come to see ma… such an exciting time!

So obviously, my house gets inspected a lot. So while looking for redecorating ideas, I found the cutest feather frames!

They’re the perfect eye catcher – and can really complete a room.

I found this feathered frame on etsy. Simple, neutral colors accented by a blue, green, and brown peacock feather really will frame your family – or beloved pet, in a classy, refined setting. Also, perfect for black and white pictures!

Check it out:

Another refined frame, found on Pomegranate, uses pheasantfeathers that are hand placed. Yes, you read that right. Someone sat and attached these delicate feathers one by one. A great addition to any room! The bronze tone and color scheme means it works especially well with a wood-floored room. Or, if you really want the frame to pop, hang it on a brightly colored wall!

Not to be outdone, Barneys jumped on the trend to! This beautiful frame, found on Laura Day, really accentuate the feathers’ summer colors. Check out that red-pink on top of the subtle green-blue. Simply gorgeous!

D.I.Y Feathered Tablecloths

Ladies and Gentleman, it is time for another DIY!

I just can’t help myself. Those feathered tablecloths I posted about have been driving me crazy. I kept thinking, how can I use that in my daily life? How can I make that a little more casual?

You only get married once.

Well, some of us more than others.

But still, I want to throw birthdays, and dinner parties, and holiday meals on a feathered tablecloth. Who wouldn’t?

And then it hit me. Forget white; forget fancy.

Hello, feather trimmed fabric.

Check this one out:

And it’s so easy you can make one too!

1.      First, pick out a fabric. Choose something easily washable, so you don’t have to worry about spills and stains.

2.      Choose a feather trim. Make sure the colors blend well, and remember that you can make the trim yourself, or buy a pre-made one.

3.      Once you’ve chosen and cut your fabric, now comes the fun part. If you want to, you are welcome to sew the trim on by hand (or by machine). However, I bought myself some fabric glue and got to work. Spread the glue on the back of the ribbon and then press down with your fingers for about 5 seconds to seal the glue. I suggest doing small sections at a time. Just glue and pinch, glue and pinch, glue and pinch.

4.      Viola! You now have an amazing, handmade, completely original feather tablecloth. Bring on the fun!

Feather Tablecloths

Birds of a feather flock together. Right?

Well, as of late, designers sure have. This season’s hottest wedding accessory – feathers – have been showing up in tablecloths!

This elegant tablecloth – made of hundreds of tiny white feathers, was to match Oscar de la Renta’s unbelievably beautiful feather wedding gown. Here’s a picture I found on Wedsavvy:

If colorful statements are more your thing, try this beautiful peacock feather tablecloth. Notice the feathered pen that provides that finishing touch! Perfect for lively wedding receptions.

If you are looking for something more elegant, but all white just isn’t your thing – try a white tablecloth with black feathers. This one specifically is hemmed with gorgeous black feathers, but yours can be done anyway you please! Imagine one with tufts of feathers, or even a black and white feather pattern.

The possibilities are endless!

We’ve featured many wedding accessories that are feather themed. Scroll back through time and you’ll see – feather weddings really are timeless.

Firstdibs Feathers

I am in feather heaven. HEAVEN! I was surfing through firstdibs.com and found all these feathered pieces that are just to die for.

Green, red, black, orange… you want it, they got it. I thought I might post here some of the pieces I especially loved, but feel free to surf for yourself and post your favorites in the comments. I’d love to hear what appeals to you most.

One of the most original pieces I found is a lime green knit cut, and hemmed with gorgeous ostrich feathers. Is it not beautiful?

This bubblegum pink hat (by Christian Dior might I mention?) features matching feathers on the side. If the feathers were a different shade the overall effect might have been a bit overwhelming, but bold uniform color makes the piece a killer. What would you pay to put this masterpiece on your head?

Victor Costa designed this stunning dress, an electric purple perfectly accented by a loud, ruffled hem of dark pink feathers. Simply fantastic:

Night out on the town with your girls, and nothing to spice your wardrobe up? Why not try this enthralling feather boa – with safari themed colors and a thick fluffy finish? There’s no way you could go wrong. You’ll never want to take it off!
