PATTERN SPY: BIRDS ON THE BRAIN

Who doesn't like a pretty little bird motif? Sarah from Smitten Studio here to present my Pattern Spy series! Today I've pulled together some delicate winged beauties shown in fashion, an interior, and an event. These guys make me want to live in that shirt, sleep in that room, and get married all over again. Enjoy!

While they can poke fun at a bird motif, when done right I can't help but swoon.

I love birds... I won't become a "bird lady" anytime soon, but I like your idea of decorate with some birds.... I actually won a beautiful print yesterday with tree little birds, just perfect for my baby's nursery.

beautiful post!

Have a gorgeous day!

Love this collection of sweet little birds. That wedding photo is amazing. I wouldn't expect anything else from Jose Villa.

Live birds kind of freak me out but I'm a fan of the decor and wedding picture. I also have that Anthro blouse!

Love this post, the blouse is absolutely adorable... and being a newlywed myself, I would've loved to incorporate this fluttering flight of birds, so charming!!! Would love to see more series of pattern in fashion, interiors and at events. Keep 'em coming Sarah.
