Head Spin

WOW!!!

All of these amazing avant garde head pieces are so awesomely inspiring to me.

I love the over the top abstraction.

It is truly art, and it's taking it to the next level.
PS I want all this wallpaper.

PINKY- Too Much for Lady Gaga??

One afternoon I had a brainstorm of sorts...to make a Pacman ghost hat with a glamorous twist! Yes, genius, I told myself...and so I set out to make this super-fun hat (with veil of course-because it just ain't a hat without veil). I like it a lot, it's supposed to be funny and unusual. Pinky made it onto Fashionablygeek.com (click here to ready their review)- but they didn't love it. What do you think?

Old Money-High Style: DIOR Couture 2010

I am such a sucker for anything John Galliano. In my opinion he is a genius and he knows how to pile on the glam sky high. In this collection he featured so many of my favorite elements: equestrian, veiling, top hats, spats, lace, tear drop crystals, volume, and of course color! Here are my favorites:
