Feathers, when fancy, can be a very delicate touch to a party. These orbs are intended for holiday decoration and ornaments for the tree, but there’s no reason why they can’t be featured in a different sort of festivity.

I can imagine an assortment of these looking very beautiful hanging in a candle-lit room. And the best thing about them is, it isn’t very difficult to replicate this look. Glass ornaments are sold everywhere around holiday season, so if you pick some of those up and also find some pretty feathers to place inside, then you can easily achieve a DIY feathered orb collection.

Today, I wore a feather headband that I purchased from Etsy a while ago, and while browsing for something to add to my collection, I came across these beauties. Dramatic headdresses are definitely back. After Sam’s discovery of the soft fabric headdress, this week I found some other pretty accessories.

LiveInStyle has over 700 handmade necklaces, headbands and earrings for sale. They are made of vintage-looking materials such as feathers and lace, that will really help spice up an outfit. There were so many to pick from that it took me a while to select my favourite photos for this post.

Both of these headbands are precious in a different way. The patterns on the feathers are so cute, and I love the emerald green, while the sequins are much more outstanding. I wear my feather headband quite regularly with a dress or just a fancy top, so even if you aren’t attending something formal, this is something you can wear everyday.

The lace necklaces they carry are a bit much for a regular outfit, but if I had a formal party to attend, I’d definitely pick up one of them in black lace.
