Fascinating Fascinators
Let’s be perfectly honest: the best part of the Royal Wedding fashion are the hats. Sometimes I truly wish hats were fashionable in the US. If I could pull it off, I would totally wear hats as statement pieces. My friends always mock me because whenever we went out shopping in London, I would be irresistibly drawn to the headbands and headbands with a half-veil, a la Chelsy Davies’ hat:
(Alas, this is an awful picture of her. Cute hat, though.)
“What, are you trying to be Lady GaGa?” my friends asked. No— clearly, I was just trying to be British.
Anyway, some of my favorites from yesterday’s festivities:
I was on my way to work the other day, listening to the radio at the ungodly hour of 5:38am, and the news announcer started talking about the Royal Wedding. She mentioned the wedding being available on YouTube, and talked about two wedding cakes, and speculated about Kate’s gown. And said the big event was in one month. All I could think was, crikey, is it that time already? I felt like a Martian.
