Tribal Fever

I’ve caught Tribal Fever. I know it’s all the rage, but apparently I may be taking it overboard. What can I say? I’m just obsessed with the Native American inspired prints and colors of Summer 2011.

Recently my boyfriend told me I’m officially Pocahontas.  Of course I took that as a compliment.  I’m fully embracing the idea of being a native, even if it is of fashion.  I’m rocking the braided hair, ethnic prints and loose flowing fabrics.

And it’s more than just the clothes.  It’s the accessories!  The feathered earrings and hair pieces are everywhere.  It’s hard to ignore such a unique and earthy trend. 

I found earrings similar to these at a local boutique they were a bit pricey so I took a hack at making them myself.  I learned that although I have a creative mind the execution didn’t quite represent itself the way I anticipated.  I was still destined to become a feathered earring owner so I took another route and visited a local farmer’s market.  Success! I found local artists who sell their crafts for reasonable prices.  Support your local artists, jewelry makers and farmers!  Buy Local.

It’s our fashion minded homage to Mother Nature. Give me a drum and a feathered headdress and I’ll break into song and dance.
