Ah, those languid days by the water…she thinks there might be somewhere she’s supposed to be, or something she should be doing, but really, how important could it be? All that matters is the sun, the lake, and how incredibly hot she looks. Her fascinator is made of grassy green feathers and paper flowers with a sweet vintage feel. Tucked into the most casual of ‘dos, it turns the simplest sundress into an ensemble that could go straight to dinner and dancing. Or just sit right here. Mmmmmm…………

Sure, this glossy black hat is sophisticated, but that doesn’t mean a girl can’t get her giggle on when she wears it. And when she does, wherever she
goes, the party follows. All she needs is a martini (or a martini glass) to round out the look.
A hat that won’t be accused of age discrimination, this one’s as appropriate for the mother of the bride as it is for a bridesmaid. A comb keeps it secure, no matter how hard you laugh.

How pretty is she? Ruffles is a dramatic fascinator with curly feathers, a rhinestone brooch and scattered Swarovski crystals. This comb is one of the most versatile, and would look lovely over a low bun, tucked into a French twist, holding back a cascade of curls or supporting a mantilla. The small size makes it a good balance for short hair, too. Mother of the groom, perhaps?

This year it’s all about the boyfriend…boyfriend jeans, boyfriend sweater…boyfriend fascinator??? Well, sort of. This little feather hat borrows its detail from the feathers you might see tucked into a man’s hatband. The rest is all girl, of course, from the whisper-soft tan feathers to the vintage silk French veiling to the tiny aqua rhinestone. Shown hereworn two different ways, both stunning, and both charming on women of all ages.

Some occasions — say, a trip down the red carpet — call for less whimsy and more vogue. This architectural sweep of dotted netting on a ribbon-wrapped comb makes just the right statment. Both the netting and the ribbon can be matched to your dress in anything from barely-there vintage coffee to fire-engine red with sassy chenille dots. A very nice choice for the mother of the bride (or mother of the groom — let’s not forget her!) or for bridesmaids.

Fresh as a morning in May, but with plenty of drama for evening, here’s a fascinator that can liven up a sundress or polish the look of a prom dress. It’s got lots of feathers, both in volume and variety, so it can hold its own nestled amongst a lot of hair. Go ahead — dance till dawn and wear it to breakfast, too.

Admit it — you know he’s going to be there. Walk into the party fashionably late (emphasis on fashionably) and every head will turn. Especially his. This extravagant fascinator has just enough flutter to catch anyone’s eye. You probably should start practicing right now, because you’ll need to ignore the whispers of “who is THAT?”. The silk veil and button are vintage, but this one’s all about the feathers.

Happy Chinese New Year! On the off chance your cherry blossom blouse is at the cleaners, this orchid fascinator in shades of red, burgundy and black would be fabulous with something simpler. That smokin’ black dress of yours will never know what hit it.

This design was born when a friend (NOT the blissfully married model!) decided to mark her divorce with a party celebrating the next phase in her life. Like her, it’s sleek, sophisticated and ready for some fun. Why should brides get all the cool headpieces?
Shown here with a one-of-a-kind vintage brooch; most will use a retro rhinestone button.
As shown: $75
with rhinestone button: $35

Time was, a young man would place a blue cornflower in his lapel to indicate that he was unmarried. Hence, the name bachelor’s button. Who’s to say a girl can’t send a subtle message of her own? Nowadays, the cornflower stands for hope in love.
The pale green headband gives this fascinator the feel of summertime, and sets off the royal blue flower and feathers. A little touch of crystal to takes things up a notch. You may buy it to go with your prom or bridesmaid dress, but we guarantee you’ll be pairing it with sundresses and cutoffs all summer long.
Let us know if you’d prefer a headband of a different color.
$25
