WOWOWWWWW.....THANKS, I'm going to post this on my FACEBOOK page.  Now, honestly, I like velvet on straw even today, I made a parasissal straw hat a few years ago with a large suede rose with velvet leaves.  Again, THANKS for the info.

I'be got a Spring/Summer headpiece in straw, sinamay and a VELVET flower - works brilliantly!

Is anyone watching *Boardwalk Empire*?  Every episode contains many beautiful hats from the 1920s.  To me it is strange to see men wearing straw boaters while wearing a three-piece suits (with wingtip shoes) while walking on the beach.  The straw hat seems so casual and summery, while the wool suit seems wintery and formal.  Now, I like a summer suit and a boater - striped seersucker with a straw boater!

I tape Boardwalk.  I love their style of hats, clothing and Nucky.

Hi GREER,
Winter white is fine but not WHITE.  I wear ivy, egg shell, beige and Winter White in the Winter, but I'm still stuck in a time warp and one of tradition.

Hi Bronwyn,
I have always been told felt for autum/winter and Sinamay and straw for spring/summer. This is from my retail days at Myer and now millinery.
