Fall is my favorite season in fashion. Most designers' best ready-to-wear and couture creations are their fall collections. Its also the season of statements.One statement worthy fashion staple you can add to your repertoire this fall are feathers. Ostrich feather dresses, feather detailed shoes and accessories flocked the fall runways of fashion's top designers.

Alexander McQueen designed a dress made out of ostrich feathers (above photo) which is so fierce but solely editorial. I'd wear it but I might get clucked at. To much of a statement for my taste.

Feather Cloche $52.00, Elizabeth and James Jacket $725.00, Pedro Garcia Pump $725.00

As I always say moderation is key. Add a dash of tasteful, chic and fashionable feather pieces to your look. Don't over do it. Think accessories like shoes, handbags and hats. Pedro Garcia has a pair of feather peep-toe pumps that I just love (shown above). When it comes to apparel, feather skirts and jackets with feather details are hot! On this note, sorry feather boas are not the way to go if you want to make a fashion statement. Unless, its Halloween.
