“I gave my love a golden feather, I gave my love a heart of stone, and when you find a golden feather, it means you’ll never lose your way back home.”  -The Band, Golden Feather

Last week I got these amazing feather hair extensions. I had elusively heard about them and then got wind they were available at a salon I used to frequent in SF – and I knew I had to have them. I have a penchant for wearing things/accessories in my hair and these are no exception- I love them. They are real pheasant feathers that are traditionally used for fly fishing. In case you were wondering, they are clamped and glued in my hair in 3 clumps with 2 and 3 feathers each. I have washed, dryed, flat-ironed and curled them- pheasants apparently have sturdy feathers. They will stay for as long as my hair will hold onto them (about 6 weeks they say), but I can always have them reclamped and glued in as my hair grows out. Not sure how long I will want to have them for but for now, I think they’re super fun.

Look who else has a thing for hair feathers:

Dear Kate,

Why, of course I would be honored to be one of your bridesmaids! How sweet of you to ask. Clearly we are kindred spirits. All my love to Wills!

kisses, Tara
