Hats are such a feature this winter in Australia. I am rather partial to a lovely had myself, and I seem to have one of those faces that can pull them off (for instance, my mother looks pretty much uniformly odd in a hat; there are only one or two that suit her). I believe that a hat requires gumption to pull off; you need to be able to wear it and feel completely comfortable, even if you are the only person you can see for miles wearing one.
Condura this year have a really nice (and very cheap) range of hats that play perfectly to the vintage look that is around at the moment. I’ve been looking for a proper cloche for a few years now, and when I saw the
Condura one I snapped it up immediately.

The red one wasn’t originally what I was looking for, but when I tried it on, I knew it was for me. It is such a dramatic hat and I love the way it looks. It isn’t quite as practical as the cloche, as it is moulded felt rather than flexible; I like to take my hat off on the train and the cloche I can stuff away unlike the red one, but still... Don’t you think it’s fabulous?

The red hat is fabulous! You should probably do a section on what you can wear with a fedora. I have a purple one that I love, but I'm kind of clueless on.
Hey Christine, thanks for visiting! Great suggestion, I'll add it to my list of things to post about.
