When Kristin Muntean of Hazel West Photography shared this beautiful editorial shoot with me I was immediately captivated by the story. See, Kristin’s grandmother has a gorgeous collection of stunning vintage hats she wore throughout the 60s, 70s and 80s and Kristin has started styling shoots and capturing all of the hats in action as a personal project. I’ve blogged before about how much I adore a really great hat or headpiece and wish we American ladies took more pleasure in really getting dolled up. I love the British tradition of wearing great hats to weddings and would like to personally adopt the practice. Care to join me? These images may just convince you.











I dare you to tell me you don’t want to go put on a pretty dress and run around town in a fabulous hat. Completely lovely, right? Much love to Kristin for sharing her work with us and be sure to stop by her blog for more of her hat series.
