My latest creations are a step away from my typical newsboy hats I've been making since 2008. I've been hit by some British inspirations...and I'm thanking Kate Middleton for wearing such amazing hats and fascinators.

It was a short time ago that the world watched in awe the Royal Wedding between Prince William and his college sweetheart, Kate Middleton. My best friend Sylvia and her 13-year-old daughter Paige woke up bright and early to watch the wedding in their theater style room while wearing tiaras and enjoying tea and biscuits. I, on the other hand, am going to admit that I am not a morning person, and rather set the DVR on my TV to record the occasion instead.

The talk around town was all the fabulous and not-so-fabulous ornaments that adorned the heads of guests at the Royal Wedding. I enjoyed the monochromatic head-to-toe styles and found myself giggling at the absurd styles of others. But the one thing I did respect was that no matter what style was worn, the ladies wearing the headgear were wearing it proudly. Go girls!!

I LOVE Kate's style and hope to bring some of that to Minnesota, no matter how difficult that challenge may be. I am always up for a good challenge. Let's bring back the hat! Derby, newsboy, fascinators, headbands, feathers, sinamay ribbon, buckram...you name it, I'll make it!
