Fascinator Friday: Postponed

I'm working on a short history of fascinators for Fascinator Friday...but I couldn't get it done on time! This week's Fascinator Friday will be on Tuesday!

Fascinator Friday: Jellyfish Jones

from the Steampunk Collection

Ever find yourself looking for a creative yet sexy yet hip costume?  Like say...now-ish?  Allow me to direct you to Jellyfish Jones, purveyor of wild and eclectic steampunk and seafaring styled fashions.  Here you can find a beautiful, vintage looking leather master of ceremonies top hat.  Here you can order up an smoldering steampunk pirate costume, made just for you.  Rife with fancy and unexpected details like keyholes and zippers each hat is an adventure in itself!  Her shop is located here on Etsy.  Go get yourself that perfect costume!

Fascinator Friday: Order and Abandon by Apatico

Stovepipe hats with orange tentacles climbing from the pipe, red and white spotted toadstool fascinators, top hats with white bunny ears sprouting up from the brim...these are just a few of the wonderland of oddities found in Apatico's collection.  Based in Seattle, WA, Megan, the creative madwoman behind Apatico, is dually inspired by both decadence and simplicity.  Equally, she searches for a balance between order and abandon, hence the name.  Enamored with styles ranging from Victorian Mourning to Burlesque to Modern Japanese Kimono styling, it's no wonder she can't get her ideas into hats fast enough!

You can check out her Etsy shop here: http://www.etsy.com/shop/orderabandon
