As sick to death as we have been of those ubiquitous hairfeathers and are dying to see something different, we have a hard time believing this little bit of tinsel will dislodge the feathers as the accessory du jour. But arbiter of coolness Nylon decrees it. So this Christmas if there's a tinsel crisis on par with the denuded bird epidemic, you know who to blame. Supposedly available at Urban Outfitters, though we can't find it online. [Previously; Racked NY, Racked NTL]
