The spring here is just awful. I want some sunshine and  heat for more than two days in a row. Rain is forecast here for the rest of week and my brain can’t even process that information. My feet can’t bare to be in socks anymore!!! And more importantly my umbrella is getting old and [...]

These past couple of months I’ve taken it upon myself to watch the “Indiana Jones” trilogy (the forth movie doesn’t  really count it’s so bad), I hadn’t watched all three of the films in quite some time and I really did enjoy myself. I finally got round to watching “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade” [...]

I don’t know about where you guys are, but here in France beanie hats are really trendy at the moment. And no, it’s not a trend I particularly like, why does it still keep coming round every now and then? WHY!?! And by beanie, I do not mean the close to the head, tight, wooly [...]

Autumn is starting to set it (I have yet another cold!) and I know what you are thinking, “What is THE hat to wear this season?”. And if you’re not, you really should be (otherwise you’ll end up with a cold…). The answer is a balaclava! They are everywhere! Balaclavas first came into the lime [...]

I was lucky enough to see Björk perform live last weekend (yes, it was awesome!) and it got me thinking about her various headwear she has worn. Björk is known for being quite extravagant with the way she dresses and the one headpiece that I always remember is the one made out of hair on [...]

Last weekend, I went to the annual vintage fashion market. Normally, you’d hear me say “there were some top hats but I didn’t have enough cash for one”, NOT THIS TIME!!! This time I thought to take my cheque book and I went wild! I was walking about the market when I came across a [...]

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 [...]

The winter sales have only just started here in France and though I don’t really have any money to spend, I know I’m going to end up buying some clothes – some that I need (new swimming costume), some that I don’t … I was going round the American Apparel web site (on the first [...]

Ok. Animal hats. Ears. Antlers. Cats. Rabbits… I think anybody with eyes will have noticed that animal headwear has been getting more and more trendy these past few years. And obviously, dog ears aren’t in (cats rule the world, right?!). The bunny ears on the first photo, done by Maison Michel, have been worn by [...]

Howdy there! I have been sewing a bit but not enough to show you guys anything! It’s funny, summer’s ending here and all I want to do is make hats with some sinamay… Anyway, I thought I’d point out this hat book I picked up in Berlin! The full title is “Design Museum – Fifty [...]
