Weekend Pick-ups

Let's start from the left, kids. This weekend I took a little field trip with my folks to Raleigh's North Carolina Museum of Art for the last day of the Rembrandt exhibit. First off, if you haven't been here, you need to go. Two years ago they added a new building that's super trendy. Rembrandt didn't make it over there, likely because of the copious amounts of paintings, videos, etc. that brought in a magnitude of peoples (I was very surprised). After zig-zagging my way through the crowds to catch glimpses of some of my favorites, and skipping the not-so-favorites, my mom must've decided I needed rewarding. Luckily for me, it happened to be one of my favorite accessories - a scarf! This baby is so cheerful and screams of Spring. Made by Cocoon House, $42. Excuse me, $32 online it looks like...

Next, we have a Blue Bird brown leather jacket in the middle that was on sale at Wildflower. The closest thing online I could find like it is this. On the right, I invested in some more Edge of Urge jewelry when I laid eyes on these vibrant blue feather cut-outs. Since they're pretty neon, dare pair them with neutrals only.

PS - Wildflower's Jean Sale ends this week. 30% OFF all denim through Saturday (Jan. 29).

Today was the day of the Feather Bar at Wildflower that I mentioned a few weeks ago. I feathered hard. The Edge of Urge gals were simply adorable, and I have crushes on all three of them - the Jessies. Made things a bit easier on the ol' hippocampus. I put together earrings with three feathers with rings for removing one or two if you prefer...

My partner in crime for Wildflower (et al) shopping and dearest of friend Mary Madison and I have been entertaining a friendship bracelet investment as of late. Today we went in for the kill! So cute.

She also invested in an ear cuff with an adorable turquoise stone, adding a long skinny feather attached to it.

I can't say enough good things about the Jessies of Edge!

Feather Weather

So I know we've all seen the feather craze blow through salons and boutiques everywhere, sparking the Bohemian interest in us gals, and leaving the male population scratching their heads. Being a regular shopper at Wildflower Boutique, I've been notified of an upcoming trunk show and feather bar event:

On November 12, 2011, Edge of Urge, based in Wilmington, NC, is bringing their Feather Bar for all to create their own jewelry. After a site exploratory, I don't hate 'em... I love the entire handmade jewelry collection and the print jeggings (photo above). Edgy style may not be for all, but adding a feather accent or fun prints paired with neutral colors is the perfect balance for a fun evening outfit.

Personally, I may need to craft myself a dream catcher -- been having the most vivid dreams lately! For more information, visit Wildflower's Facebook page. Hope to see you there!
