I'm starting to think perhaps Vic is taking the "nesting" concept a little bit too far. Yikes!

Start your engines, hatters -- Katie Cambridge is out and about again, going red at yet another friend's wedding. At first glance I thought she'd recycled her maple leaf fascinator (well, yesterday was the first day of autumn, after all), but no, this one's quite different.
Eh, overall, I'm a little underwhelmed. Fascinators like these are a dime a dozen at a British wedding. Thoughts?

Happy birthday to the maddest of the Norwegian royal hatters, Princess Märtha Louise! Here she's pictured attending the wedding of Prince Joachim and Princess Marie of Denmark a few years ago, wearing her standby sparkler, the King Olav's Gift Tiara. But, oh, the hats!

Hope you have a truly angelic day, your highness! ![]()

Oh, THANK GOD. You have no idea how long I've been wondering what it would look like if Indiana Jones had a baby with a pilgrim. Now I can finally rest easy.

I mean, the dress is all kinds of gorgeous. But seriously, WHO OKAYED THIS HAT???

Ahh, the rare silver-plated Cake Hat, spotted in the wilds of parliament. No flash photography, please, we don't want to startle it.
Actually, I'm starting to wonder if this is just what the Dutch crown looks like...
(Also, thanks to lovely reader Pikkewyn, enjoy this awesome slideshow of Cake's mad parliament hattery over the years...)

This looks like a fancy lampshade that someone's grandma would keep in her parlor, yes?

Cams wore a raaaaaaaspberry beret
The kind she wears when the royals go north
Raaaaaaaaspberry beret
And if the hat gods are kind, she won't wear it much more.

Have been searching the almighty MH archives for this particular titfer for the past hour, but to no avail. It's either brand new or an oldie -- let's hope that ice blue satin is a thing of the past. *shudder*

An interesting millinery choice by Mary for a rainy-day ship naming ceremony -- have we ever seen her in a cloche before? I like the vintage touch on principle, but something just seems a little off. I wonder if the outfit isn't a little too casual for the hat? But really, what can I say. Yesterday, I went out shopping in the rain looking far, far less chic than this...
