Our friends over at Luxarazzi have an interesting interview with milliner Sylvia Martinez about her participation in a recent exhibition which included designing pieces for Grand Duchess Maria Teresa and Hereditary Grand Duchess Stéphanie. I’m curious to hear your thoughts on her designs.

Some very interesting millinery at the Chanel runway show this week- see here for the closeup and here for the full ensemble. I’m not sure I’m feeling the slouchy crowns. Also interesting were Dolce and Gabbana’s lavish floral crowns and Stephen Jones’ over-the-face angel wings at Dior. And I have no words whatsoever for Stephen Jones’ men’s tweed caps.
I’d love to see this crimson and gold feathered fedora by Jess Collett at the Cheltenham races this year on a royal head. What a fun style departure it would be for the Duchess of Cambridge.

Have you heard about the Georgian Papers Programme, in which more than 350,000 usually unseen royal documents from the Georgian period (most relating to King George III and Queen Charlotte) are being made available online? This article at the Guardian has a great explanation of the project as does this page from the Royal Collection Trust. The project went live this morning.

Royal Hats 
If you search out photos of Charlene’s full outfit, it is stunning. Beautiful hemline on her coat and some pretty good shoes also.
Cute kids with parents CP Victoria and Prince Daniel.
I hope the Luxembourg ladies trade their Sylvia Martinez hats. The multicolored one would be a nice jolt of color for Princess Stephanie. The cream lace looks more matronly.
Double trouble in Monaco, but who could resist those two cheeky cherubs?
Yes, that fab Jess Collett hat would look great on Duchess Catherine.
And how handy that palace balustrade proved for two squirmy toddlers who wouldn’t hold still – providing a perfect child-sized viewing post. Sooo cute!
Princess Charlene looks very elegant. And those twins, just gorgeous.
The twins are ADORABLE!!!
