{ of flocks & feathered frocks }

since being given the opportunity to sprinkle my costumery with pieces from erin fetherston's fall collection, is it any surprise that i've been flagrantly fixated on all her delightful bird print pieces?! seriously, it's almost obsessive ~ before today i've worn iterations of them here, here and HERE!

the thing is, aside from being lovely on their own accord, they remind me of hunt slonem paintings (an artist i've long adored and have blogged about BEFORE) ~ and i think everyone should take any shot they've got to wear a work of art!

meanwhile, may i just say how happy i am that this particular dress is so forgivingly cut? don't tell the turkeys, but i'm really looking forward to thanksgiving (tomorrow!) ~ the one day of the year when nobody even blinks as i inevitably go in for a third helping of mashed potatoes, followed immediately by a slice or two of sweet potato pie...

...this is one bird who may soon be too full to fly!!

{ lanvin for h+m sunnies (another surprise from the mister!), reworked vintage earrings, elizabeth+james blazer (i'm crazy for its super-fitted sleeves!), songbird shift dress courtesy of erin fetherston, vintage belt, juicy couture bag (last seen HERE), random thigh-highs (last seen HERE) }
