Royal Bride Sparks Fascinator Frenzy

After tuning in to the royal wedding between Prince William and Kate Middleton early this April morning, I a couldn't wait to comment on all of the unique hats that mostly (if not all) women wore during the ceremony.  I give these women a whole lot of credit for attempting this bold fashion statement.  Not just anyone can put on a goofy hat with feathers and other crazy decor and make it look so good! Although, I'm pretty sure Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie took the hat craze a bit too far - check their picture out below.

Kate Middleton has sparked quite a frenzy in what the Brits call "fascinators."  A fascinator is described as a decorative trapping made of fanciful materials such as flowers, feathers, lace, or beads.  They're typically attached to hats or worn in lieu of a hat, along with formal attire.  I favor the fascinator over some of the other  hats that were worn today at  the royal wedding.  I'd like to totally rock a subtle fascinator at a wedding this summer.  Check out this article from Wall Street Journal to learn more about fascinators: Kate Middleton Sparks Fascinator Frenzy
