Lizzie’s Hats News Update!

I am cur­rently sell­ing gentlemen’s silk top hats and am able to source dif­fer­ent sizes and styles to meet your requirements.

There have been many great things to come out of Ire­land, includ­ing some bril­liant milliners, most notably Philip Treacy, but also some names to look out for are Mark T Burke, from Gal­way who has made me some lovely pieces. Also Edel Ram­berg, who is also from Gal­way, is fan­tas­tic. And lastly Aoife Han­non, who I had the plea­sure of meet­ing at Chel­tenham this year and I enjoyed see­ing her hats on show through­out the week at the races.

My friend Boonie Fer­rand owns a hand­bag pur­chase busi­ness called poshandprettyhandbags.co.uk and I am delighted to stock some of her pieces in my shop.

Watch out for her pieces!

Fascinators banned in Royal Ascot’s Royal Enclosure — 18th January 2012

Lizzie has her say - “With regards to the the recent ban on fas­ci­na­tors (and the new dress reg­u­la­tions) in the Royal Enclo­sure at Royal Ascot, for my per­sonal opin­ion this is great news and not before time. Royal Ascot is and has been for gen­er­a­tions the pin­na­cle and show­piece of British soci­ety, ele­gance and tra­di­tion and in recent years due to the slack­en­ing of the rules this has been noth­ing to be proud of. Don’t get me wrong there are some ladies out there who in my opin­ion dress beau­ti­fully for Royal Ascot by respect­ing the tra­di­tional guide­lines.  I believe that Royal Ascot is the one place that you can really go to town when dress­ing and acces­soriz­ing, and you can never be over­dressed,  but in recent years images of women wear­ing next to noth­ing along with shoes they can’t walk in and a feather in the hair really does let Royal Ascot down.
