Blazer Beauty

by 17 Comments


I am so excited about this week’s Friday’s Francies theme since blazers are my favorite fall pieces [good choice {av}!]. I especially love the look of boyfriend blazers (like this one from Jack Wills), because they have a bit more of a laid-back feeling but are still chic and professional. J Crew also has some in a ton of cute colors this season… loving this pink one!

Only problem I have with blazers is there gets to be a time in New England’s fall–>winter when they are not enough of a jacket, but also feel too bulky under anything else! How do you all do with wearing them under coats? Or do you just layer under the blazer to stay warm?

Birds of a Feather

I’ll say it: I like the feather hair extension trend.

But if you’re like me, you don’t like getting stuck with permanent accessories you have to match all outfits too, and the idea of crimping a feather into your hair makes you a little nervous…

Luckily, queen of all hipsters Urban Outfitters has some alternatives:

A single earring…

Johnique by The Desert Child Feather Single Earring, $38

A temporary clip…

Double Feather Hair Clip, $19

Or a headband…

Feather Drop Headband, $20

Ugh I so wish I could pull off this look!
