Peacocks, Peacocks, EVERYWHERE!

 The beautiful and majestic bird, it has that fab arrogant swagger, that proud, puffed out chest...Of whom do I speak, you ask? The Peacock, of course! If ever a bird could make a splash into the fashion industry, it is, my beloved, snotty Peacock. So, I'm not surprised at all, to see this fabulous colorful look all over runways, my favorite lil' boutiques, even Target!
 The gorgeous, jewel-toned colors have a range of greens, blues, black and gold. These colors are wearable and universally flattering to all skin tones! There are so many possibilities  when it comes to this trend. Clothes, accessories, jewelry and of course...make-up!!!

Clothes: Spruce up a tee or tank with a Peacock-feathered pattern on a scarf. You could even find some feathers at your local craft store and sew or hot glue-gun them on to said tee or tank. Hey, why not spruce up a pair of plain heels or flats? Get creative, the possibilities are only limited by your imagination!

Accessories: Look for headbands, which will look beautiful on hair. If you don't like the actual Peacock feather, try steering toward the colors found in the feather. Jewel tones have been in fashion and will stay in fashion for quite some time. Plus it will add a pop of color to a cold winter day.

Jewelry: This one's the easiest! You can practically go to any boutique and I can almost guarantee you will see an homage to my fave avian! Earrings, necklaces, rings...I see them everywhere!

Make-up: When it comes to make-up, there are so many possibilities! All of the colors (greens, blues, black and gold) can be used as a base color, a crease color, or eyeliner, gold however would be the only highlight shade. If you want a hint of extra drama, don't forget to line your waterline (the skin right above your eyelashes). I only recommend doing the bottom waterline; doing the top (tight lining) can tend to close off eyes, making them appear smaller. For the water line, I recommend Stila's Eye Kajal in sapphire or black. It's very creamy and goes on so easily, you can find them at your local Sephora or Sephora.com for $18-

 There are so many fashionable ideas regarding "The Peacock Look". The possibilities really are just about endless! Don't hold back when it comes to this trend, and get creative, the sky's the limit with this chic trend! I would love to see anything Peacock that you have, feel free to e-mail me pictures or links!
