New York City may have its Easter Parade , but NO ONE does hats
like the Brits. Our first two photos are of Florence Claridge on
Ladies Day at Ascot: she's known for a quarter century of
outrageous hats at that British Bastion of Hat Heaven.
The second two photos are Philip Treacy hats done for
Alexander McQueen ( both Brits, of course).

multi tasking fashion accessory ... . and it doesn't rain on your
parade or easter egg hunt !

I had planned my own Easter Bonnet post for Sunday ... but I can never top this one! Those are fantabulistic photos!
Maybe I'll write about (yawn) Easter baskets.
