After I experienced the Royal Wedding in all it’s glory {and, yes, I stayed up til 6am to take in the whole magnificent event}, I found that I couldn’t get enough of the wacky, wonderful, elegant, and statement making hats available in the world… my personal favorite is the fascinator, but as the Royal Wedding only happens once every thirty or so years, I likely won’t have many reasons to wear such fabulous headgear… kidding, kidding… luckily we Americans have a tradition of our own: The Kentucky Derby. Which happens to be this weekend. And my hat obsession lives on.
