RUSSIAN HATS AND FRENCH DREAMS
Anyone who knows me, knows I love a good hat. A dull outfit is instantly transformed into an AMAZING outfit simply with the addition of a hat.
A terrible vegetarian, I have seemingly come up with every possible excuse to justify my adoration for my white Russian fox hat. Devoted to this hat I was for many a winter, wearing it with just about every outfit I had. It was only after one too many awkward conversations with my fellow Russian hat lovers, confused when I repeatedly replied “privet” to their foreign words (in hopes that there was some similarity with French’s “Ça va”), that I decided to find an alternative hat obsession.
Then by chance, I discovered my new love affair… Maison Michel. Whilst wearing this hat I have wild dreams that a tourist will stop me in the streets of Paris and in broken french ask me for directions, assuming I am French…
As I said… in my WILDEST dreams!
