Philip Treacy Times Five!

So much talk about the royal wedding! I was never really in the hoop about it. I had to make a posting on the wedding with my top five favorite hats!!!

Even though the live coverage here in Italy, which is an all day event, went on a little long. I was certainly happy to see all the beautiful hats!!

Philip Traecy on the groom's cousins- Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice:

Then Victoria Beckham- much of the commentary in the news wondered how the hat was angled in such a manner, and stayed on her head:

Tara Parker-Tomkinson, the socialite:

Zara Phillips- I love this one!!

As a milliner, I enjoyed watching the snippets of the all day live coverage of the Royal Wedding.

My Contest Entry!

So sorry I have been behind on just about everything, I am catching up! Last week I checked my Deviant Art account only to realize there was a contest taking place entitled- "One Cat, One Fruit, One Clock". Click here to take a look at the contest!



My Entry:


"I am Late, I am Late, For a Very Important Date......"


My Concept:


Strawberry Shortcake meets Shere Kahn in Wonderland!



I was inspired by Alice in Wonderland-The Mad Hatter character,


The Rabbits pocket watch,


A spray of strawberries, of Strawberry Shortcake,


And the Jungle Books- Shere Khan!



I then printed the images on fabric and made my hat!




Wish me Luck!!
