The modern beanie: A heavenly mix of humour and swagger.

Modern and retro.
That all sort of started with the Jil Sanders 2012 show.
And has been taken up by the likes of Riri..Anna Dello Russo..and anyone else really.

But I was thinking..wouldn’t it be nice to do a DIY version..but take it up another level? – Add removable corsages on the side similar to the one above- a further play on the vintage cloche hat?
It could be a flower..or a collection of them..love the shape of these from Amica felt.
But imagine it all in Black..
Or even an animal..
Now..she da fox!

My favourite too! Especially with that red lipstick…
I adore Jil Sander’s beanie (perfect for a mysterious lady !), especially on the Tommy Ton photo with Daria and Hanne Gaby, but I just loooooove your idea of adding a tiny animal (I’d choose a small leopard) ! xxxx
This would be your perfect disguise oh Lady of Mystery..you could lower the veil for those disappearing moments! Your comment made me think of those eighties bling brooches of leopards..also pretty cool – the weight could be a problem though….
I usually decorate mine with brooches or flowers. I admit I found the veil a bit too daring… but it looks so great I don’t think I’ll need a lot of persuasion to try it…
I also posted about this veil beanies on my blog :). Love them! They are so interesting and fun. I am buying one of those soon!
I think you should make one..and post a picture! xxx
I will post a pic as soon as I get my hands on this cute beanie! 🙂

Would love to see a DIY one!! Not sure I can pull any of these looks off, but I think they’re fun! 🙂
Oh you definitely could! Hoping to visit the haberdashery shop this week..fingers crossed.. x
Veil beanies. What a lovely idea!
And really..so easy..but a hugely different look.. x
love this!!
There is a special charm..the individuality of a vintage hat and the ease of a beanie..perfect! x
It is
Loving the Fox!
Hehe..I think it has your name on it! x
This is such a funny combination! A little fox on the side of a beanie would be the cutest thing ever! xx
It would certainly be a talking point! x
Made my own….need to get my camera out! x
I want to see a photo!! xxx
Love the beanie veil! Will be adding that to my hat wardrobe immediately!
Anna Dello Russo wore a pale baby blue one..but I think the black one does have the most va-va-voom..! xxx
absolutely loving the combination of a beanie hat and veil – might try this with the North’eastern storm coming to New York for Thanksgiving!!!
With your lipstick? An absolute must!! xxx
I have never seen beanies done like that before.
Huh. I like it!
(Love your organised laundry, too. Not a thing you see around here.)
love these!
LOVE! xx
