The Beret is back for Autumn/Winter 08

Posted by Rebekah Roy on August 24th, 2008

The beret has been around for ages and has generally been worn in the military since the mid-20th century. Although military is not a big trend this season I think the beret will be great for this Autumn/Winter 08! I love this Chanel beret; I tried it on and it’s so cute!

If it’s a bit out of your price range just look for a beret at Accessorize they have loads of styles starting at £8.00. Customize it with a couple of cool broaches, badges or even flowers. This is a good opportunity to check out your what’s in your mum’s or grandmother’s jewellery box!

Luxury Council Summer Rooftop Garden Party

Posted by Rebekah Roy on August 4th, 2008

I really like wearing hats but I don’t seem to wear them often enough I feel a bit odd wearing them on the tube. I was invited to the Luxury Council Summer Rooftop Garden Party so it was the perfect opportunity to wear a hat! The party took place looking over the Thames river near Southwark Bridge. image 035 Luxury Council Summer Rooftop Garden Party image 033 Luxury Council Summer Rooftop Garden Party Louis Mariette had a special room at the event for a selected number of guests to wear one of his special creations! image 031 Luxury Council Summer Rooftop Garden Partyimage 029 Luxury Council Summer Rooftop Garden Party I used to love perfume but don’t wear it often any more. I was given some Miller Harris perfume – as they were one of the sponsors for the party and I really liked it. Scent is so personal. I love this picture of me and Courtney! We look very cool and coordinated, of course it’s the hats that make the look! image 036 Luxury Council Summer Rooftop Garden Party To see more images check out Societás!

I used to dress up my cat in my doll clothes and push her around in my pram when I was little. So naturally I was very excited to read about Cat Prin in this months Vice Magazine. You can read the full article by Vice at Puss In Boots (And Hats and Capes and Wigs and Little Ruffled Collars).

If I’m looking for inspiration and a good cup of tea I head to Sloane Square, where I will find my hatter. I have known Louise Mariette for some time now, and I think he might be one of the most fabulous people I will ever meet. You expect a hatter to be flamboyant, to glide across the dance floor, perhaps with a cup of tea in hand. I must say Louise is all this and more; he’s one of the most sincere and honest people you’ll ever meet – which makes him delightful. All said, he’s very creative and has discussed at length with me the art of hat making – which I find fascinating. Louise has just launched a new range, called Bejewelled – a diffusion headpiece and accessory collection. The Bejewelled collection includes headbands, tiaras, hatpins, brooches, bracelets, and necklaces. I’ve been trying them all on! I’d like to be the kind of girl who wears a tiara but I can’t seem to make it work (boo hoo!), but there are lots of other pieces that I love and actually look good in!
