Hello, lovelies! I haven’t posted as much as I’d like to, because I’ve been terribly sick for the last few days. I think I had some sort of food poisoning because I hot and cold sweats, stomach cramps, and let’s just say, Johnny Cash’s ‘Ring of Fire‘ springs to mind… Yeah, I’m sure you know what I mean there. It feels like I’ve lost about 10 kilograms. But alas, after a long bath and sitting the sun, I feel sooo much better. So on with the show!

I don’t know about you, but I absolutely dig those el cheapo, $2 stores where nothing inside is actually $2. I went to one the other day and bought these huge peacock feathers, which were only a buck each, but now have no idea what to do with them! I was thinking of making some sort of headpiece, but that’s as far as my imagination will take me, and I can’t really see myself wearing a gigantic feather on my head very often. So, I did a wee bit of research and found some unique ways of incorporating peacock, or any other kind of feather for that matter, into your wardrobe!

If I had a headpiece that looked like dervishgirl’s, I would wear it everyday. I love that it isn’t the standard millinery piece you’d expect, it’s more of a Native American headpiece. At first, I thought the peacock feather belt was just a feather tucked into her skirt, which I think is a very simple but effective way to spice up an outfit - will definitely try that one! The barrette is so delicious, I want to eat it. You should check out the other designs wildspirits have - they’re all so colourful, I can’t decide what I love best! Placing a feather on your bag is a nifty idea, too. It adds personality to what would be quite an ordinary bag. I have no idea where or when I’d wear the Prada skirt, but it sure makes great eye-candy!

I first saw these amazing peacock tights in The Anchor, who fell in love with them, and I feel the same. If I could own only one pair of tights, it would be these. Do you think I could paint them on some old tights? I’m always looking for DIY’s. Or maybe I could just fork out the $29.99… (Click here for product information.)

When I saw this skirt I was inspired to make a peacock themed outfit. I love the greens, purple and rich, electric blue together. (Click here for product information.)
