Green Shades of Grey

This clean and cool hue has been splattering the runway for both spring and fall in the most interesting of ways.

Hat as Design Statement: an Eco-Friendly Rival to Philip Treacy

I’ve always wanted to be one of those women who can wear a hat without looking like a moron. I sometimes wish I could go back in time to the days when sporting a cloche wouldn’t draw stares.
