Quintessentially British...
'S' is for silly hats and style.
Celebrating the horse racegoers and HRM at the just ended Royal Ascot.
Outlandish, wild, wacky and stylish, would describe some of these but all put a big, big smile on my face. The catwalks did not disappoint either.

Those hats *giggles* are just so, so "too much!"
So funny, I was just looking at the same hats in a magazine! I love Isabell Kristensen's "strawberries" hat and I think Erin O'Connor looks fabulous - as always. The marshmallow hat is just ridiculous!! Great post :)
Thanks Simone, voluminous trousers on Erin and her Channel jacket is just fab!

marshmellow hat=extreme!
I don't like marshmellows, but they make beautiful headwear.
Love the hats. So glam xo
Thank you for your sweet comment!
In light of the name of your blog, I think you'll love the post I am about to publish in about half an hour....
The hats are awesome but us regular folks would just look ridiculous....
It's too bad that so much of fashion is throw-away and never gets to the realm of everyday people.
Fun to look at, impractical in every way.
I love some of those flower hats but I'd never find anywhere to wear them haha! The first basket one is crazy!
gotta love Ascot for the mad hats!
always love seeing the fanciful hats that are brought out for ascot! not sure which is harder- coming up with an outfit for some of them, or how they were dreamed up in the first place!
just so fun and girly :)
kHm

great collection of hat silliness. :)
i wish we have more events to wear beautiful hats like these.
insane headwear! ohmygoodness! theyre are so cool
I love the hats at Ascot, it's amazing what can be made for headgear!!! Better to stand out than fade into the background!
Wow, these hats are amazing! It reminds me of the Melbourne Cup back in Australia. It's so fascinating to see what everyone comes up with each year.
