Screamin' Eagles

[These birds of prey are on the loose, yet there's no need to fret. 
You can join in on this trend for as little as $4.]

If much of your wardrobe hails from American Eagle Outfitters like mine, the eagle is no stranger to the realms of your closet racks and dresser drawers. But after noticing a spike in the fashion world's eagle population, those little AE logos might as well be sparrows. I caught on to the trend shortly after fawning over Emma Stone's Golden Globes gown. The Lanvin number featured a striking, deco-reminiscent eagle (front & center, wings spread) on its belt. Naturally, due to all of the online browsing I do, I stumbled upon several t-shirts starring the same ancient-looking (remember where art deco pulled its inspiration from?) creature a few days later. And the rest is history. Whether it takes on a patriotic and regal form or one more suggestive of Ancient Egypt, I'm a fan of the bird. Sidebar: Owls, on the other hand, are a different story. That's a tale for some other time.
