This blog was started in 2016 as a Sub-Site to www.dress-2-impress.com.
Hi. I'm Fiona. Thanks for visiting my Blog "The Hatista". Every year I have 100's of customers that come to visit to select their Hats for Royal Ascot, Mother of the Bride, Epsom, Cheltenham or other formal events, and for most the only hat they have ever worn is a beanie or baseball cap - niether of which are appropriate for a day at the races or Mother of the Bride.
Every year I have hundreds tell me Hats don't suit them, or they don't know how to pick the right one. Then once they have found the hat for them, they ask "Where do I get the Bag to Match? What colour should I wear to go with a Yellow Dress? What shoes should I wear for the Races? It's a Winter Wedding, what would you wear for a Winter Wedding?.......
So, after Royal Ascot was over in 2016 I decided I would start building this blog to answer all the questions people ask me every day, and to point them to outfit combinations, colour combinations, help with choosing hat styles and much, much more.
Three and half years on, this Blog is now bigger than my main site, with posts and answers to all the questions I promised to answer, and more. Most posts are still of course helping with Formal Events, Weddings, and a Day at the Races, but you will also find fun posts that I've written that don't require a hat.

Animal print is not exactly a new trend, in fact it rarely totally goes away. Some designers have never stopped featuring it in the collections, but this season nearly all designers and influencers are embracing it. How does this make you feel? Discover my best finds that don't remind you of Bet Lynch or Pat Butcher.
Don't ruin a Great Mother of the Bride outfit with any old handbag from the wardrobe. The Bag is an essential part of the outfit, required mainly for holding your copious tissues and make up you'll need reapply all day! See my pick of the most perfect Clutch Bags for Mother of the Bride.
Many will tell your their favourite colour is green, but then find the colour hard to wear if picking the wrong tone, or pairing with the wrong accent. With a huge range of hues from khaki to lime, olive to emerald, down to the pastels of Mint and Pistachio though there’s a tone that makes everyone look fabulous. Working it on only parts of your outfit, or as an accent, paired with complimentary colours, you will find it invigorating, cheery, and positive.
