Mad Hatter

If you know me, then you ALREADY know I have a major minor obsession with Alice in Wonderland. I love the fantasy, the style and everything about WONDERLAND. Somewhere it's real. This post was inspired by my new found (within the past few months) LOVE of hats and hair accessories. Not only do hats cover my usually UN-washed & sometimes shamefully UN-styled hair (my stylist is rolling his eyes as we speak .. Jimi) "SORRY I'm not sorry" :-).

In my pursuit to be the REAL Alice I have found a couple of ama-ziiiing head pieces perfect for tea with Rabbit or the Mad Hatter and croquet with the Queen. I've scored two awesome "skater" (named by society) or as I call them "slouchy" caps, one over-sized velvet riding hat which I've deemed the ultimate Nicole Richie swag and an aggressive black floral arrangement made into a headband. I've worn all of these in the last 6 days if that gives you an inclination into how much I AM REALLY digggggin' headwear.

When wearing headbands, I've found it best (with my hair in particular) to rock a high top knot. With my slouchy caps, I like to make sure my hair is SUPER straight and pulled to the front on both sides. The over-sized riding hat can be styled a couple ways. I prefer my hair UN-straightened and full of dry shampoo and hair spray (the messier the better) and pulled all to one side. I've also styled it with my hair straight and pulled to the front. I tried it with a side braid and I ended up looking like an equestrian .. sooo if that's what you're going for then that works too! I would LOVE to find the perfect headband that has the mini hat attached with a bird cage. I don't know the outfit I want with it, but stay tuned...it may appear sooner rather than later!

I'll leave you with this quote from the Tim Burton version of Alice in Wonderland, "What a regrettably large head you have. I would very much like to hat it. I used to hat The White Queen, you know. Her head was so small" -Mad Hatter
PS- "We're ALL mad here."
