While I was sewing yesterday afternoon, I put on a few Marx Brothers films to keep me entertained. I’m quite a big Marx Brothers fan, I started watching them when I was little. My favourite film of theirs is “A Night at the Opera” (1935) and though I fully understand why everybody loves Groucho Marx, [...]

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” [...]

My other passion in life, besides hats, is music. Not that I play an instrument or anything, just love listening to it. So, I was well chuffed when I recently bought a record player (…and speakers…and an amplifier…and, of course, records). I think I probably love music more than hats actually, music is my fuel. [...]

I personally have started my christmas shopping (I like to start early!), so obviously this means I have been hanging about on the net and seeing stuff I’d like to give to myself…the way you do! There are a few DVDs I’m really interested in having in my fashion film collection. The one I’m dying [...]

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 [...]

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. Anyway, thought I’d show you a bit of how I’m getting on with that Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs headpiece competition. I sort of felt like a was doing a project for my [...]

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. Obviously, the main competition every milliner/hatter has heard about is the one about Queen Elisabeth’s diamond jubilee (voting starts tomorrow). I really didn’t feel inspired by that one [...]
