A number of hats caught my eye this week:
Jane Taylor’s navy straw hat with short crown, raised back brim, flowers and curled quills
Montgomery Millinery’s pink disc with hydrangeas and silk twists with lovely natural straw brim binding
Very pretty pastel straw fedora hats by Canadian hatmaker, The Saucy Milliner
Tina-K-Hüte’s navy straw saucer with monochrome folded trim
Neil Grigg’s black lace hat with scalloped edge
Anna Bella Millinery’s modern and strikingly trimmed saucers
Marine And Deerfield’s casual, straw, summery designs at East Village Hats in New York. I want the navy one!

A lovely new portrait of Princess Marie painted by Mikael Melbye was unveiled this week
The entire Belgian royal family joined Queen Paola on Thursday for her 80th birthday (see her spectacular cake here)
And finally, I’m bursting with pride that the first female ever to Captain The Queen’s Guard during Changing the Guard was Canadian Soldier Captain Megan Couto on Monday this week. What a great honour for Canada’s 150th birthday.
Royal Hats 
Stunning portrait of the Mountbatten ladies.
Wonderful selection of hats. I was dubious about the pastel straw fedoras, but they look so fresh. That black lace number is for Princess Haya.
Thank you, Hat Queen. I’m glad to see those delightful hats. I’ll join you and wear the red, white and blue one!
I agree with other comment… the latest millinery designs you pick for This Week’s Extras are such a treat.
PS – love that little swirl in the crown of those hats!
“This week’s extra’s” never fails to be such a great read, with too many good items to mention. But the highlight for me is always your pick of the latest millinery designs :).
That is one green cake (especially in the close-up)! I presume she likes that color. But hey, at 80 years old, you can have any color of cake you desire. Happy Birthday!
Hat Queen, I am curious to know which blue hat you would desire from Marine and Deerfield… but the link goes to Anna Bella’s hats.
Sorry about that- it should be fixed now. It’s just a simple (but chic!) navy straw summer hat.
