Those of you who wanted more Canadian tour hattery: ask, and ye shall receive!  Love, love, love this one -- perfect color, perfect shape, perfect embellishments, perfect all around!

And that's a wrap on Hat Christmas 2011, everybody!  Same time, same place, next year. :)

Surely this hat shrank in the wash ... that's the only logical explanation I can come up with.

More Canadian tour hattery from HM today ... call me crazy, but this one still screams "November" to me, not "Royal Ascot."  Here's hoping for something a little more vibrant tomorrow!

Someone got the curling iron out this morning!  I love this whole look on Eugenie, satellite-dish saucer and all.  I don't even mind the cabbage flower:

Over-the-top and elegant at the same time.  Way to go, Euge! :)

Zsa Zsa in the house!

Love this shape on M-C ... very glam stuff for a very glam lady.  But the true swashbuckling glory of this hat doesn't come through until you see it from this angle:

Amazing.  You just know she nicked this from a musketeer...

Love the oversized, slightly see-through brim of this hat.  The crown may be a little too big, but on the whole, not too bad!

Another recent repeat from last year's Canadian tour hats ... a gorgeous chapeau, even if it isn't new.

The real news from the carriage procession, though, was the presence of another certain lady on Ladies' Day:

Well, if we can't have Katie Cambridge over for Hat Christmas, at least we get Mama Middleton! ;)

Okay -- dipping my toe in tentatively to say that I love this, and I think it might be from this decade and not the '80s.

This is Anne's perfect hat shape, IMO!

Whew!  Looks like it's not beige and gray for Bea from here on out -- so relieved to see a little wack-a-doo put back in her hattery!  Doesn't this one look like it should be perched at a slightly steeper angle, though?

This is full-on redemption after yesterday's navy-blue miss.  Wonderful all around!  Simple, but silly -- perfect for Ladies' Day!
