Fabulous Feathers

(Via)

Hope you all had a great weekend!  I'm sure you all heard the great news, that Osama Bin Laden has been killed.  It's about time!  What a wonderful way to end the weekend.

It was absolutely gorgeous in Southern California.  It was a great week to be on Spring Break.  I'm back to work today, and have been noticing that feathers are literally everywhere.  Since I teach high school, I've seen quite a few girls sporting feathers in their hair, on their headbands, accessories, and even clothing.

I had a feather in my hair for a while, but couldn't stand the extension and kind of got over it quickly.  But I'm loving all the feathers.  They definitely give fashion a bohemian feel and are perfect for the upcoming season.  What do you think about the trend?  Loving it, or over it?

Bringing Back BoHo

How many of you have a feather in your hair?  Not yet, well, just wait, you will.  I have had mine for about 2 weeks now, and am ready to take it out.  I love the look, but they're everywhere! It seems the hippie/bohemian fashion scene is back in a big way.  If you're not sure what that means, there are feathers, fringe, headbands of every kind, natural colors, textures, and fabrics, and of course lots of leathers and natural stones.

I love the BoHo look.  The natural, long, often-braided hair is one of my favorite parts about it. The other thing I like is the relaxed attitude that comes along with the fashion. The look began in the 1960's with free love, drugs, anti-government everything, and friendship.  It might be time to dig into your mom's closets and find those bell bottoms and vests.

I hope you're week is off to a good start.  I'm getting on the exercise train this week, so someone please hold me accountable?  Have a great day friends!
