Featured Fascinators

Snow drops have appeared and I can almost go outside without 6 layers of clothes…..and my email and phone are constantly alerting me to all those organised people out there who are planning there spring summer occasion wear….a few autumn occasions too!! Vintage again seems to be a strong trend….when there is so much scope why not? And I feel fresh and ready to face the new season….have been working on a few new things of my own…

After having been asked by one of my lovely brides recently to try and incorporate some pearls she had from an old necklace into a ‘something’ she could wear all day we came up with the idea of a cuff . Perfect for adding that special pop of colour and detail and also, for her, a great way to do her something old and something new! I loved making the gorgeous, sparkly beady concoction and have been making more since…have attached a few pictures to show my creations…..more to follow…when I get a minute to make them!! Every one will be a one off and I will use a mixture of vintage and new jewels……

How about this with a slinky satin dress……..?

I have just managed to complete my 2011 collection and have it photographed. Have used the lovely Siobhan Kilroe and Jess Womersley this time…we had a good giggle at the shoot and the photos show a really lovely relaxed and yet totally chic view of my new offerings! Website update coming soon………

The weather maybe wintry outside and the nights getting darker and darker, but Christmas is coming and with that a ton of parties and the chance to sparkle!

Nothing could be easier to embellish party hair than a hair jewel! Choose form a huge variety of styles to create your perfect look!

Below are just a few ideas…we don’t all need to be as brave as Lady Gaga….perhaps an Audrey Hepburn slide is more your thing, or if your budget will stretch to it, a fascinator as worn by Cheryl Cole on X Factor from the divine Jenny Packham Acacia range, or keep your ‘up do’ simple and chic with a feather side comb….take your pick!

Pillbox hat shapes are fast becoming one of the most popular styles of fascinators. They are so easy to wear and come in so many different shapes and sizes that we are becoming spoilt for choice! Pillboxes can be covered in fabric, sequins, crystals, feathers the options go on and on.

Whether you are wanting to wear a Dita Von Teese, burlesque style piece, or a chic Jackie O creation, favoured by Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, there’s something for everyone.
