I have been watching Gok Wan's new show and thought I would do a couple of outfit posts on the last episodes catwalk face-off. Two of the looks they sent down the runway were nautical and floral. Both really good trends that come around every summer, and both really easy to wear. I have made an outfit that is almost identical the one that was on the show, then I did my own version. Enjoy!

I have always been a lover of hats, but have never been able to indulge in this affection because my head does not seem to agree with the hats I put on it! They always end up looking awkwardly perched and just not quite right. I do, however, still like to look at all the beautiful vintage millinery that is out there - purely for the wonderful craftsmanship, if nothing else.




I found these gorgeous photographs of some fantastic headwear, from the Vintage Vogue pool on Flickr. Here are a few fabulous vintage hats that I found for sale:

I have just won this skirt on eBay:

I don’t know if you can tell but it has a floral pattern; which I think would be perfect for the print trend for spring/summer 08 (see post from the 10th).
