The Pearls & Swine Valentine’s Range 2013

Pearls and Swine, Valentine's Day 2013, Hat, Fascinator

Do you have special plans for Valentine’s Day? If you do, I’m sure you already started thinking about the perfect outfit. I would recommend a lovely dress in a flattering colour, which shows a little bit of skin but not too much. A beautiful fascinator will complecte your look. I don’t recommend you any dresses today, but give you advise on the best headwear:

My favourite milliner Pearls & Swine made a fabulous Valentine’s Range, which is just beyond perfect, like everything this woman touches. It’s full of delicate flowers and shiny beads, most of it in red or pink, all perfect for a day full of romance in the name of love.

It is very hard for me to decide on a favourite among all this wonderful creations, but I think the hot lip fascinator with the cheeky veil wins my heart. My second favourite is the ice cream fascinator, I can never resist ice cream. The purple butterfly or the light pink rose fascinator are stunning too. No matter which one is your first choice, these beauties will not be an investment only for Valentine’s Day, but make your spring and summer wardrobe complete.

How do you like this collection and which fascinator makes your heart beat faster?

The Pearls & Swine “Not Very” Christmas Range 2012

Why not going for really sophisticated headgear for Christmas instead of topping your head with stupid reindeer antlers from the fun shop? Even if your dress is rather plain, the right fascinator will turn you into the brightest star of the evening. This is the “not very” Christmas range 2012 from Pearls & Swine. Breathtaking headpieces made for girls who like to dress up, but are maybe a little bit tired of the usual christmas kitsch. Among the creations full of fantasy, there is a purple bambi waiting for you as well as a pretty red winter rose and a Carmen Miranda inspired fruit hat.

It’s very hard to decide on a favourite from this range, but I am madly in love with the disco and glitter balls fascinator with the name Space Oddity (shown in the middle). Metallic colours are one of the big things in fashion for spring and that’s why I am convinced this one will have a lot of wonderful appearances. I can’t stop thinking about how it would look with a pink Maison Martin Margiela for H&M candy clutch (seen in this post) or a metallic trench coat form Burberry Prorsum (seen at Vogue). Another highlight are is the red shoes fascinator, called Dorothy’s delight. Which girl doesn’t dream of being Dorothy from Wizard of the Oz and having magical glitter shoes?

The nice side effect of this range not being christmas themed in a very classical way is, you can easily wear most of the pieces during the whole year. So please dear Santa, bring me the disco balls fascinator, the red shoes fascinator and something beautiful form this range to every other nice girl! If you can’t get enough of this wonderful headwear like me: There is more on the Pearls & Swine page, waiting to be discovered.

Which fascinator is the highlight of the Christmas or New Years Eve outfit of your dreams?

Do you ever dream of being a beautiful bird with colourful feathers? Among all the birds, there are not many with pink feathers and that’s why the flamingo has a special fascination. I can’t transform myself into a bird, but a dream came true when this amazing flamingo headpiece from Pearls & Swine arrived in my life. When I put it on my head for the first time, I had to jump into the air, overfilled with joy. I can’t understand why a lot of people never even consider to wear a headpiece or fascinator, while I want to put everything what I like on my head. Why bothering with small brooches or necklaces if there is so much space on your head for something big and bright? A headpiece can be very playful and fun: Be the flower girl with a crown of roses, say goodbye to dark days with colourful pompoms or decorate yourself with a beautiful flamingo, just as I!

Wearing my flamingo headpiece makes me feel different, it changes the ordinary girl into something extraordinary. The wings move slightly when I walk and the pink glitter sparkles in the sun. The colour is very flashy and powerful. Fit for a flamingo fairy.


Of course you can’t buy something as beautiful as this in a department store, but that makes it even more precious. I am very happy, that I found my personal favourite hatter: Pearls & Swine. Run by lovely Bink. This shop is a true wonderland and wearing the things makes you feel like a queen. Not just the creations from the homepage are great, the best is to talk to Bink and make your personal hat dreams come true with a bespoke piece. My favourite animal (besides the cat) is the flamingo, so that was my wish and of course Bink made it come true. The shiny bird was made better than I could dream of. I am in flamingo heaven now, where everything is pink and pretty!

What do you think about this headpiece and what is your own hat dream?
