A Daily Dose of Tiaras...

Posted on January 2nd, 2013 by Ella  |  Comments Off

Hi, all! I'm peeking out after a long blogging break for two reasons. One is just to say hello (hi!), and the other is to direct you to my new daily tiara blog, A Tiara a Day. For the whole of 2013, I'll be posting a tiara on the blog every weekday for your sparkly enjoyment! I'd love it if you'd check it out.

What you're probably all wondering is really this: what's going to happen to Mad Hattery? The answer is that I'm not sure yet. I don't want to give up on the blog yet, but I've been feeling the need for new and different projects. So for now, this blog is temporarily on hiatus,. You can catch me at the new blog, as well as on Twitter and over at my Tumblr blog, where I do occasionally fit in a bit of hat snark. (Let's face it, I really can't help myself.)

Thanks a million for all of your messages during my blog hiatus. Hope you enjoy the new project, and I'll see you all soon!

Time to start the royal (well, princely) wedding countdown again, hatters -- Princess Caroline's baby boy is getting hitched!  Andrea Casiraghi -- who, even without a title, is currently second in line to the Monegasque throne -- is engaged to his longtime girlfriend, Tatiana Santo Domingo, and to celebrate, of course, they threw a big bash on a yacht.  (What, you don't have a yacht?  Psssh.  Plebians.)

And, even better?  The yacht party theme was apparently RAGAMUFFINS IN HATS.  Read on, hatters.  Trust me: you won't regret it.
