Princess Beatrice and her irritating compulsion to put 'stuff' on her head summed up in pictures. They are not hats, these are catastrophes of a global level strapped to her cranium. Some sort of intervention is needed. Get me Kofi Annan on the blower A-SAP

So let's start with her latest, and perhaps most famous 'hatccident'. It looks like a deer head mount usually found on the walls of old castles or American log cabins, but surely with those teeth the hat should be wearing her and not the other way around?*

*Tad harsh, I admit.

This monochrome flying saucer looks ready for take off.


Powder blue is a gorgeous colour against her chestnut tresses however a blue bird of paradise that looks like the cat's been at it is not.

The point of a fascinator is that it's supposed to be 'fastened' to your head, not floating mysteriously next to it.

It's just too big to be a beret, init?

Oh for fucks sake!

"Oh nah nah, what's one's name?"

Another feathery-fail.

Stay out of the garden, Bea.

Been hanging out with Alice and big talking rabbit eh?

This is the gorgeous Jasmin from Vintage Vandalizim. Amazing personal style wrapped round her 40's pin-up curves makes for addictive blog following. New role model alert.

I can feel my mother turning in her sleep due to all the 70's posts. She takes every possible opportunity to inform me how 'in bad taste' her youth was, apart from punk (she takes great pride in regaling me with the story of seeing the cover of NME in the 80's and soon after sticking safety pins in her ears). Yes polyester and Vesta meals it may have been Mummy, but it was also about awesome Californian tan lines and Farrah Fawcett's hair! Anyway it's time to hit the tanning booths in your bikini!

I'm a big Linda Ronstadt fan and posted about her last year here. Hoop earrings and no shoes are the way forward. No shoes are the new shoes.

...with this track. Overheard it the other day while struggling with a catsuit in American Apparel's fitting rooms.

I Youtubed it at 11.03 this morning and have been playing it ever since. It is now 13:56. Have now increased volume dramatically to drown out the dull thud of downstairs hitting their ceiling with a mop.

This is as close as I'm getting to the neon trend this summer, or ever for that matter.

- Checking Tom Stubbs Style&Error blog, fashion editor for Finch's Quarterly Review amongst other countless talents
- Browsing Finch's Quarterly Review
- Video post by Stubbs about Christos Tolera's style
- Browsing Christos Tolera's website, find a painting by Tolera titled "Sometimes is Snows in April"
- reminds me of the old school garage track by Amar also called 'Sometimes it Snows in April'

It's little things like that, that make me so happy.

The links are all there so click'em.

Off to watch TOWIE.
