Head of Plumes and Crimson Ostrich Feathers

'The ostrich feather is durable, soft and flexible, which accounts for the success of the ostrich feather duster over the last 100 years. Because the feather does not zipper together it is prone to developing a static charge which actually attracts and holds dust which can then be shaken out or washed off. Because of its similar makeup to human hair, care of the ostrich feather requires only an occasional shampoo and towel or air dry. The farming of ostriches for their feathers does not harm the bird. During molting season the birds are gathered in a pen, burlap sacks are placed over their heads so they will remain calm and trained pickers pluck the loose molting feathers from the birds. The birds are then released unharmed back onto the farm.' Make long vest top and iron on frankenstein transfer, team with skinnys and heels, or sparkly black pumps?

My New Coat!

I went shopping again on Saturday with Daniela and Clara and called in on a vintage shop and instantly fell for a velvet 1950s evening coat with fabric flowers sitched at the collar. I now owe my Mum £35 and am not too sure where that money's coming from... But it was worth it!
