Autumn always brings with it sumptuous, rich fabrics, leather, velvet, tweed and, this year, feathers, to see us through to the Springtime in style.


Having seen this feather fur gillet on Forty Not Out I realised how many beautifully feathered items I have admired over the past few months. There is something truly decadent about feathers, probably hailing from the days when the more embellishments you adorned yourself with the more wealthy you were perceived to be.


Feathers mix with tweed effortlessly during the day - think trilbys and brooches on jackets - and with chunky statement jewels in the evening.


Here are a few of my favourite feathers...

And finally a joy to behold...

Much love
