It’s official, crowns are in! To my mind, there are three reasons to this – Dolce & Gabanna’s autumn ready-to-wear 2012 collection, Lana Del Ray and Queen Elizabeth II (who is in the limelight with her upcoming diamond jubilee celebrations). Who hasn’t come across a fashion blog with a girl wearing a floral crown? And [...]

It’s completely not like me, but, yes, I didn’t blog last week (without even warning you guys!). Sorry, busy dancing at a festival.

As soon as winter ends it seems like hats competitions pop up all over the place, made easier it must be said by the site Talent House.

The winning hat will be exposed at Stephen Jones’  ”Hat’s : an Anthology” exhibition in New York for the whole six months it’s on (I saw [...]

So, I have decided on having a give away competition! The prizes are as seen on the photos : a mini top hat, a frilly headband and a round felt fascinator! Yep, I’m feeling generous! A lot of blogs do giveaways where all you do is leave a comment, but I’m not doing this (though [...]
