Whisperer… as in wispy.. get it? GONG! Any who, Marchesa is one of my favorites for fancy shmancy gowns and this season’s theme was ‘birds’. There were lots of feathers and loads of gorgeous pastels.

Artist Lucy Glendinning has all of us hiding under our beds after her last installation. Who knew that humans covered in feathers would be creepy!?

If you ever wanted beads, a zoo, or unicorns to hang from your eyelids, then Eyelash jewelry is your kinda place! These are false eyelashes with cutouts of animals, fruits, shoes, you name it.
