Summertime
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…………
Onion Top
Fashion Week Ventura chose a green/recycled theme, inspiring a fascinator made of things destined for the landfill. The veil is a mesh bag that onions came in, and the flower is made from fabric trimmed off a curtain that was too long. The center of the flower comes from Granny’s button box. And the feathers, well, those were formerly worn by birds.
Onion, Jr.
A mini version of Onion Top. It’s kind of punky with the frayed onion-bag netting; a version with millinery netting could be more refined, if you prefer. This one comes on a small barrette, perfect to pop into your ‘do wherever it looks best. Works great with jeans… shown here with a bridesmaid’s dress. What would you pair it with? What wouldn’t you?

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.

Bachelor Button
She knocks, she waits, she pretends not to care if he answers. Nothing pushy here, just a sweet finishing touch. A true-blue silk flower with a few whisps of irridescent peacock feather and maribou, plus a tiny pouf of tulle, this mini-fascinator is equally at home at the prom, on bridesmaids, at the Dodger game… or visiting a “friend”.

Bachelor’s Button headband
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.
