SPRING HATS


"Wearing a hat versus not wearing a hat is the difference 
between looking adequate and looking your best."  
~ Martha Sliter



"You can flirt with a fan in your hand. . .
 But a woman can really flirt with a hat."  
~ Dolores Foster


"Women wearing hats are at once sophisticated and whimsical....Their faces are younger and softer.  They carry themselves differently, daintily, like deer.  Their voices flutter a bit...even when they are talking about things like money and power and work, 
even when it's clear they're very much in charge of their lives."  
~ "O" Magazine


"A hat is a shameless flatterer, calling attention to an escaping curl, a tawny braid, a sprinkling of freckles over a pert nose, directing the eye to what is most unique about a face.  Its curves emphasize a shining pair of eyes, a lofty forehead; its deep brim accentuates the pale tint of a cheek, creates an aura of prettiness, suggests a mystery that awakens curiosity in the onlooker."  
~ Jeanine Larmoth

"Hats are a great antidote to what is going on.
It is really their purpose to put a happy face on a sad world.
"
 
~ Stephen Jones




"I myself have 12 hats,
and each one represents a different personality."

~ Margaret Atwood
 


"A hat is to be stylish in,
to glow under,  to flirt beneath,
to make all others seem jealous over,
and to make all men feel masculine.
A piece of magic is a hat."
~ Martha Sliter

"That is the thing about hats. . .
They are extravagant and full of humour
and allow for a sense of costume,
but in a lighthearted way.
"
 ~  Stephen Jones



"Go Ahead and Bloom"
 "When you wear a hat, it is like medicine for the soul.  


You cannot hide in a hat; you will be noticed, 
especially by men.  
To men, you become a lady when you don a hat
One who they rush to open doors for.  

 To women, you become an inspiration, 
reminding them that they have a closet full of hats 
they have not had the courage to wear."

2013 SPRING FASHION


Just for fun, I put together some styles for 2013 found on the "runway". 
I absolutely love all the ocean blues!   I hope you enjoy them, too.

~ Naomi  
 

Spring is a time for color. 
What colors and styles will everyone be looking for this Spring?

“2013 will be the year of the confident, smart, sexy woman. Spring fashionistas will be looking to develop a unique, personal sense of style. We will see one-of-a-kind statement pieces in colorful but more subdued tones.  2013 will be the year of “structured elegance” featuring saturated watercolor tones. Look for blue, blue and more blue in every hue and pattern - especially polka dots and stripes.”   


  
"This L.A.-based designer drew inspiration from “water and ocean life,”      
which translated into bird and fish scale prints, blueish green hues    
(reminiscent of waves) and an occasional mermaid silhouette."
