Pinkham Millinery :: 10 years

Posted on | Friday, March 19, 2010 | 8 Comments

Matt and I stopped by Pinkham Millinery's studio yesterday evening for their 10 year celebration in Morgan's Alley. Dayna Pinkham is one of my most favorite milliners around. She made custom fedoras for Matt and I and we love them to death. The annual sale was also kicked off last night and I snagged a fabulous hat. There were so many that I loved, but I need to save up for those and spread my purchases out... I dream of having a huge Pinkham Millinery assortment of hats someday. :)

I wish we could have gone! Matt and I were way too sick and didn't want to infect anyone else, but if we could have, we would have gone to last week's Pinkham Millinery show that took place in a cemetery! You already know how I ADORE Dayna Pinkham's creations.... so this event really looked ultra spectacular... pulling many talented local designers together to create an oh-so-tim burton-esque feel. View more pictures HERE.

I'm SO completely obsessed with this sexy number by Elizabeth Dye. I got to see it in the flesh at the Enlish Dept. the other day. I love the corset/bodice details, the flare of the skirt below the knees, the ruffles at the shoulder (similar to this creation of hers - Elizabeth... you make me sick with all your talent). But I especially love the long train/bustle detail in the back...

*Sigh* Such lovely head art.

I love anything that goes on your head

I should have taken photos ages ago, but for our 1 year anniversary, I got Matt and I matching fedora style custom hats from Pinkham Millinery. I highly, highly recommend seeing Dayna Pinkham! She is just phenomenal. Everything is customizable, which really makes the end result that much more special. We got to choose the material, color, brim size, height, ribbon, accent... everything... and of course, it is all done in person. Dayna is such an expert and really knows how to make it look fantastic in accordance to your style and head/face shape. I love my hat! I love Matt's hat too (even more than my own). His turned out to be just so cool (photos to come). Anyhow, yet another piece to my growing collection of head gear... I love feminine meets masculine... anything androgynous.

Please excuse the zero make-up look. I've been busy!
