Trend Tracking – Part 2
As the second installment of my three-part series, I chose detail-oriented pieces that add a dose of glamor to any outfit. With feathered accessories and intricate shoes, they’re all special enough to make an impact in a subtle way.
Bubble Skirts
Bubble Bow Skirt, $305
Belted Knee Length Knit Skirt, $17.80
This is my favorite look of the season, but it’s turned out to be harder than I thought to find the right proportions in the length and volume of the skirt.
Metallics
Metallic-foil Skinny Belt, $38
Metallic Brocade Dress, $310
I always feel more dressed up when I throw on a metallic piece. The colors illuminate light in such a flattering way.
Lace
Lace Ruffle Top, $19.99
Lace Print Short Sleeve Jacket, £20
This delicate fabric is the ultimate celebration of femininity. I love the challenge of toughening it up with menswear-inspired pieces and edgy footwear.
Strappy Shoes
Pawelk, $110
Lexxa Pump, $168.95
With neutral-colored tights, these strappy pumps quickly become a captivating focal point.
Feathered Headbands
Extra Wide Feather Headband, $85
Feather Satin Headband, $4.80
I adore the natural feeling of having feathers in my hair. They’re light, colorful and add a quirky touch to a plain hairstyle.

yayy feather headbands again! i loved the last post where you featured them…obviously, i’m loving this one too! by the way, that metallic dress is insane.
Great finds! I’m totally in love with those Lexxa pumps!
Mmmm…for some reason I’m really feeling the whole feather thing. I love that they’re both a bit glam and a bit organic at the same time. I was at Michael’s crafts over the weekend and they had TONS of cool feathers that make me want to try my hand at making my own…because of course the ones that I love otherwise are the really pricey ones! (isn’t that always the way
LOVE the feather headbands! Just picked one up at F21 myself. So glam!
I love how everything you find is actually affordable. Well, except for maybe that first bow skirt, but if you catch me in just that kind of mood, I’ll decide everything is affordable when it comes to fashion, and that’s when things really get scary. Don’t you wish we could shop together? I think we’d make great shopping companions. I SOOO need to get back to packing now…adios:)
I luv the feather headbands! The more I see them the more they grow on me – I must get one!

yeah i totally love all of these trends.. especially the bubble skirts and strappy heels!
LOVE the shoes and bubble skirts, and that golden shimmery dress is divine!
Generally my policy is never say never, but I’m pretty sure I won’t be sporting any feathered headbands.
I love the bubble skirts, but I’ve run into the same issue as you. It’s so hard to find one that really fits perfectly.
All of these are great! I’m especially loving the bubble skirts and lace detailing-maybe a combination of the two?? And of course, the feather headbands are so unique and beautiful-especially that deep purple one!
Oh, I want the belted knee length skirt and feather headbands. Lust lust lust.

Hi there-I do love the lace looks you’ve shown, very nice!!
Great picks – I will always love strappy shoes!
I’ll take a short metallic gold dress any day. My friends don’t call me dynasty for nothing.
OMG the bubble bow skirt is amazing!
like bubble skirt and fancy headbands.
Great suggestions for adding a little bit of frilly femme to a subdued ensemble.
I adore that grey skirt, its beautiful! Love the feather headbands, I love the colour on the purple one. Lush!
I love these round-ups. All the looks are cute, but I can’t make the bubble/tulip look work on me, so I stay with metallics, which suit me in all ways.
love this post! it’s true how easy it is to add a dose of glamour to an outfit
I’m crazy for that metallic brocade dress!
I’m a huge fan of this 3-part series: to me it’s like a Cliff’s Notes of all the Fall fashion issues, a great shopping guide
I’m updating my must-have list!
