Put on Some Fun with Glory B Hats

It’s time for hats. Easter is the time to wear your bonnet. But don’t put those hats away the Devon Horse Show is coming, the Radnor Hunt and those Kentucky Derby parties. If you are ecologically correct. Beauty Art Gallery in Newtown Square has just the hat for you.

All hats are original designs by Jennie Hart Robinson, an artist from Georgia who started creating hats at the age of 14. She followed her calling as a milliner and now has a hat business called Glory B Hats. Her hats are made from recycled paper but wait before you turn up your nose, they are so cool. Inspired by nature, they can fit anyone because you can mold them to your head. Robinson’s motto is put on some fun and fun they are.

If you aren’t really a hat person, you can get a whimsie. What is a whimsie? Whimisies are decorated hats but instead the look is attached to a headband. Whimsies give you the feeling of freedom but still give you the feeling of being a lady. Some whimisies are great for future brides going to a bachelor party and are awesome looking for any event.

Princess Beatrice and the Royal family eat your heart out. American women have hats to die for and are saving the earth too.
Gallery owner, Paula Jackson found these hats at an Art show and fell in love with them.

“These are perfect for folks out here. I think they are great for garden parties, bridal showers and equestrian events too. It’s an affordable way to have a unique hat and feel like a princess or a queen. They are so whimsical,” said Jackson.

Greening of Fashion

It's April so its time think about the earth, our earth.  How does fashion impact the earth? How does what you buy, wear, and throw out make a difference in the world? Does that cotton shirt you wear exploit children?
So I picked up a book called Green is the New Black by Tamsin Blanchard who gives us 
a fashionista's bible to follow by being ethical and still glamorous. Her book shows us how to change the world and still be styling. 
I am going to throw out some ideas from her book. Each week we'll explore one of her ideas, give suggestions on how to change. So before you huff and puff and blow me away, think for a minute about global warming and the effect it is having on the planet and polar bears.  Everyone of us has a responsibility to planet Earth.
Shop ethically, buy and wear second hand clothes. Recreate what you have, learn to knit, Recycle, shop and sell. There are sites where you can find what you are looking for and be ethically responsible to the people of the world.   See you here next week for a lesson the the greening of fashion. Keep Styling in Delco.
