The Girl In The Camel Cape: Free As A Bird

Recently it's become blindingly obvious that the world of fashion has become a tad obsessed with birds. I don't know why, I don't care why - I am a fan. This slightly unusual bird obsession of mine was triggered a few months back, by non other than Mr. Ted Baker. I think it's fair to say that Ted loves his bird prints (along with patent shopper bags), and often incorporates the cheeky animal on any garment he has going. Sometimes just the bird, sometimes the odd cage, sometimes a delicate combination of both; but whatever bird-related design it is, it works. As I began looking beyond the joys of Ted Baker, I realised that most shops on the high street have jumped onto this feathery bandwagon and there are birds absolutely everywhere. Clothing, stationary, footwear, bags, jewellery; you name it, and nine times out of ten it comes with a bird or two on it. From glamorous blouses to palazzo trousers, to the odd cheeky piece of lingerie, here I have compiled just a small bird-like collection of some of my current high street must-haves.
