Birds of a Feather

There's something wonderful about roaming through the city covered in birds. No, not scary covered like in The Birds where you are fighting off crows in attempt to save you're perfectly porcelain skin and keep your eyeballs intact. Although I love the soft green suit Tippi Hedren adorns throughout the horror. The woman knows how to look chic throughout what I might call, my worst nightmare.  Kudos. I mean covered in birds like one of Spring 2010's hottest trend, bird print dresses.


All Saints Poseidon Dress

Although most are inspired by tropical birds this year, I choose to highlight the softer versions.  This vintage Asian Poster is a great palattt to work from and reminds me of this All Saints dress I have been drooling over ever since I came across it on my research for this post. It's the perfect combination of floaty and feminine, yet still edgy. I would pair this with some thick strapped platforms, a black leather oversized motorcycle jacket and mounds of pearls.

For a brighter indulgence in this delicious bit of Spring fashion, check out Tibi. I love how she used the simplistic print with a punch of candy colors to really give it an island appeal stuck in the city. This is great on the navy background and really updates a classic silhouette with a fresh twist.

Tibi Bird Print Silk Dress

This adorable and easy mini dress is a day at the office gone wild. Pair it with some peachy pink pumps and add a skinny belt for a pulled together ensemble.

Another easy and more causal pick is this beautiful Helmut Lang dress. Add some fresh booties, a washed out jean jacket, and loads of jewelry to really add style to an other wise basic silhouette.

It's been fun piecing together outfits for you and I leave you will my attempt to join the flock parading in Byrant Park.
