One of the hottest ways to accessorize this spring and summer is with wings, be they feathered bird or angel wings, or delicate wings like those of butterflies and dragonflies.
The Victoria's Secret Angels have been known for their dramatic wings for a long time, but other designers are beginning to incorporate the majestic elements of flight into their lines too. Last month we featured Prada's fantasy fairy inspiration in a beautiful collection of print ads. Yesterday we featured a stunning RC iButterfly, and sure enough, today we've found a few more flirty wings to accessorize for the new season.
