The Romance of Spring

Is there a tea party somewhere?

This is truly a spring romance, isn't it?

Spring, the time when nature becomes vivid and colourful again. The grass is growing and flowers appear one after one. It's the season of pastel-colours, new life and awakening. When the weather gets warmer and the sun is shining, people are craving to spend time outside. That's exactly what I did yesterday. Of course with a spring themed outfit, including a very precious accessory:

I am very proud to show you my amazing hat from Hatastic. I think it looks like it has been made for a fairy tale tea party and I feel very ladylike while wearing it.

Hatastic is based in London and specialized in headpieces and hair accessories. Chloë Haywood, the designer of Hatstic, gets inspired by bits and bobs from junk shops. She loves to reuse and recycle fabrics and turn them into something new and wonderful. All her hats are handmade and very unique. Chloë says that she started making hats when she was looking for a fascinator for herself for a special wedding and couldn't find one at the shops. It was a great success and she made more and more. She founded Hatastic 2009 and her company has been nominated for the "Accessory Designer Of The Year 2011". For more information about Hatastic visit their website or their shop on Folksy.

With an accessory like this, I'm looking forward to many beautiful weekends! Who knows, maybe I'll be invited to a tea party once.
