I admit I prefer the supercrazy, futuristic or totally weird hats a la Jones ... but it has some serious historical touch which is quite inspiring !
Happy Sunday to you!
LOVE the blue and white one ~~
xo Laura
i love the hats!
all gorgeous.
i'm trying something new on my blog :)
please tell me what you think!
XOXO,BECCA
I couldn't agree more. Not only because it's a historical piece but to me it's that touch of finesse. It's truly a wonderful elegant piece. La créme de la créme if you may.
My thoughts exactly! I love the cocktail hat by Leifsdottir: http://livingembellished.blogspot.com/2009/08/fall-fashion-fabulous.html
I have waited a long time for hats to come back into mainstream! I am so excited for the upcoming season!
I wanna have a hat:)
LOVE IT!!!! I especially love the one with Ciara she's so beautiful!!! Fab post!!

This is such a beautiful post, CC! Made me think of Anya... I missed her a lot. Frankly, I think her creations are my favourite. She may not be as famouse as Mr. Jones & Co (yet), but her hats are beautiful and unique, in my opinion. Hope you had a fabulous weekend, darling! xxx
thankyou carrie! :)
i wanted to try something new!
maybe it can be a new regular thing for my blog :)
XOXO, BECCA
I learned a lot in this post! I think Millinery is so pretty and should be embraced! Wonderful post!
Caroline Trentini, Natalia Vodianova, and Temperley London. You've quite possibly made this the best Sunday ever. Love these pictures! :)
Ah so nice. I love the hats.
I haven't heard of this trend, definitely something to look into. Beautiful pictures as always. :)
ANYA! :-)
Great post!
XoXo
So inspirational! I need a fab hat now...
I think they've read your mind...it's definitely HOT for fall to don a cap of some sort. Loving the sketch of the gals strolling through Paris!!!
loved it
What a lovely post dear! Buona domenica!
I do love hats.
Too wonderfuler (if that wasn't a word, it is now! ;] ) selection too mention them all, but I love that first photo.
Anya does do the most amazing hats, plus her blog is just fantastic!
I also love Stephen Jones' work. I was fortunate enough to get prime front row seats at his show a while back, and see him and his work myself. The 'Hats: An Anthology' exhibition he currated was simply excellent.

Love the hats...so spunky!
hats are a staple in our family. it is a dying art, sadly. hats make your look that much more special.
Have always admired Stephen Jones creations CC! Have a lovely Sunday, I know you are darling! xo*
Parisian girls don't wear hats very often but I don't care. I love hats! And some of your selection are awesome!!! xoxo
I so want to get me a hat now!
Adore this lovely post:)
Puttin a lid on it!
Fabu cc!
Love Claudia Schulz coco hat...
;)
Oh how I pine for the days when women wore glorious hats everywhere!
Awesome CC
Oh my, these are all absolutely wonderful!
I love hats. I think it would be cool to own a top hat like Willy Wonka. I'm not sure where I would wear it, but it would be well worth it to own.
I like most the blue and white. Hats: so feminine. I hope they will be fashionable again as in the 1940s.
this is so cute...i love it
the hats are adorable, i love every single one of them

Gorgeous hats dear CC, my very favorite is Ellen Christine's creation... not sure when I would ever wear it but I would just love to have to have. I'd walk around the house with it maybe? Pretend to be Scarlett O'Hara! :)
great post. hats off to you...
I love those hats, they add so much style to the outfit.
so inspiring and stylish!
have a lovely week, darling!
xoxo
I love all these fantasy hat looks, especially the fascinator style. I wish I had an occasion to don a glamorous hat with a veil!
These hats are all fabulous!
Totally inspiration! Love the hat with feathers, awesome & classic ;)
Have a nice week!

Oh, I want a fedora! But can I pull it off?!?!
Oh, how I LOVE hats! I simply do not look good in them though :( So I live vicariously through my sisters who do. The white & blue hat is stunning!
xx
I heart my fedora! Great selection you have of other fab hats though!
I've recently developed an increasing love for hats, it's sad that they are hardly worn, at least were I live... Very inspiring post, byw. :)
xx
f a b u l o u s!!! <3 the hats! xxx
I recently did a post with pics of all of my vintage hats. I am really going to try wearing all of them this fall/winter. These pictures provided so much inspiration. Thanks!
These are all really amazing. I love them. I hope you had a wonderful weekend. Take care. Cheers!
hats look ridiculous on me - i wish they didnt x
I used to wear vintage hats all the time in high school! I should start again... it's tough when you have full bangs, though.
I have a HUGE collection of vintage and new hats, headbands, and fascinators that I wear all the time. My favorite vintage hats are Schiaparelli and Dior. My favorite current designers are Tour de Force and Stepen Jones. Anya will have such an incredible experience. Keep hats alive!
Such gorgeous hats... I always love hats. I believe it adds spice to the the outfit.
I've been wanting a top hat for a while but I've made no effort at all to go find one. :-(
I'm a huge fan of hats and have many special ones.... These are just too fab! I have hat envy!
Love the first one in the second row.
Awesome post! :)
Xx
that is so true.. i love your hat with feather
This Fall I am wearing a hat!!! I always feel so silly but I need to get over it, because they are FAB.
hope you had a great weekend CC!

I love a good hat, but honestly
I am quite picky when it comes
to the right hat.
Great post though~
I have to wear one of my head pieces soon...

I adore hats and was a total hat fanatic as a little girl.
I wish people still wore hats everyday.

oh i think hats are so much fun - i just wish they were in style like they were in the 40s & 50s.
i saw that book at Bergdorfs a few weeks ago...it would look so cute on my coffee table!

Lovely picks!
I look at Kentucky Derby and Royal Ascot pictures for hat inspiration!
