Baby in Wonderland
Happy New Year’s Eve to you all! Us girls at Folk & Feather have certainly enjoyed this year and we are looking forward to another great one in the Queen City. To round off a great 2011, here is one last outfit post. My lovely girlfriend Tina left behind a fun skirt after her visit and I couldn’t resist creating an outfit around it! A word to the wise: please avoid these types of...

Rave On, Over the Rhine
“Over the Rhine” is both the name of the newly viable neighborhood in Cincinnati and the moniker of my all-time favorite band. Karin Bergquist and Linford Detweiler are the on- and off-stage couple who write beautifully poetic and deeply reflective songs that have kept me a loyal follower for nearly a decade now (wow…I feel old). For the past seven years, I’ve been blessed to be able to ...
Totally Obsessed: Holiday Colors
Here are the colors we love for winter this year. The pastels in the Essie Winter Collection are a hit with us, as well as the glitter bombs in OPI’s Sephora collection. We urge you to mix and match this year and enjoy the whole color spectrum!

OPI-Ski Teal We Drop: This is an old favorite from last season, but i’ve yet to find a teal that tops this one!

Mother/Daughter Drinks
I’m beyond blessed to share a wonderful bond with my mom. She’s been, for me, the greatest example of feminine strength and grace over the years, and I owe many of my best attributes to her influence in my life. As I’ve entered into my 20s and quasi-adulthood, our mother-daughter relationship has evolved into one of girlfriends and confidantes, and our time together has adapted accordingly....
Bella Luna
While I try not to eat it with any sort of frequency, there’s a major soft spot in my culinary palette for Italian cuisine. I hadn’t submitted myself to a carb coma for some time, so I took the opportunity Friday night to return to one of my favorite local eateries, Bella Luna, for a much-needed pasta fix. The ambience of the space is charming and cozy, and the family-owned quality is...
Celebrating Cincy Chic
As we’ve become increasingly aware of the presence of fellow Cincinnati bloggers, there are a few that have developed an especially strong presence within the community. Cincy Chic is one such publication, and we were excited for the opportunity to attend an event hosted by its founder, Amy Scalia, at Covington’s Lexus River Center. The extravaganza consisted of both trade and fashion...

It seems like the holidays are taking over more than ever this year—there’s a different event going on almost every night! Last weekend, I attended A-Line Magazine’s December issue event at Sloane Boutique along with Marsha from Style Edit. We love seeing local businesses combine...

A Krombholz Christmas
Can a girl ever go to enough jewelry events? We don’t think so! We were invited to the Krombholz Jewelers holiday party trunk show with Marsha from Style Edit in tow. Lee and all of the lovely people at Krombholz made sure to show us a good time at their shop, nestled in the heart of Montgomery. We also loved that part of the proceeds from the evening went to a music program in the city...

Totally Obsessed: Favorite Things, Part Deux
Favorite Things 2 by folkandfeather featuring print dresses
{Clockwise from top left}
1. Bar III Coat///I spotted this periwinkle coat on another blog and was instantly drawn to its wintery hue, equestrian-like shape and faux fur collar. If I get it, I’ll pair it with black denim and the gold-toed boots pictured here for day, and over a white lace shift by night.
2. Victoria’s Secret...
It's a Blogger's Life
As you may recall, F&F and a group of other local style bloggers have been busy planning a special event for the holidays. It culminated last Wednesday in the first (annual?) Cincy Style Bloggers Holiday Style Bash. Neons generously donated their beautiful space for the party, which quickly filled up with local boutique owners, PR gurus, fashion plates and fellow blog stars. As we’d...

Totally Obsessed: My Favorite Things
Clockwise from the top:
Polished Platinum Dress via Anthropologie. I have my eyes on this dress for New Year’s Eve this year, but let’s be honest—at nearly $400 this will never be mine unless it goes on a serious sale. I’m in love with the fabric, the sweet bow in front, and the unexpected but seriously amazing back.
Russian Doll Stud Earrings via Monsoon.co.uk. I...
