Hat Day

Anne DePasquale Millinery

Today will be a big day for hats with the coronation of King Charles in London and the Kentucky Derby here later today. It is 5 AM and I am up watching the coronation.

If you are planning on having a mint julep while watching the Kentucky Derby, here is how.

  1. Very impressive hats, I must say. Yes, lots of fun things going on in the world today, which is a nice thing.

  2. My sister was 16 years older than I, and a model. When she hosted or went to a cocktail party, she wore a "cocktail hat." As all women did. I couldn't wait until I was enough to do the same. Unfortunately the style fell out of favor when I was old enough. Such a shame. Your hat collection is simply amazing.
