I’m completely captivated by this editorial, shot by Mario Testino for Vogue UK in Antwerp. Inspired by the studies of the Belgium Old Masters, Lucinda Chambers has styled this spread beautifully with stunning headpieces, oversized necklaces, ruffled cuffs, and contrasting blacks and whites. Lovely.

If I had a nickel for every time my mom has warned “the sun is not your friend,” I could retire tomorrow. Honestly. Instead, my closet is full of sun hats, fedoras, cowboy hats, visors, and various other sun shielding apparati. While it may not suffice as an alternative to sunscreen, kudos to Lola Ehrlich for transforming a simple straw hat into a chic stitched fedora and inspiring us to add a little pizzaz to one of our many hats!
Supplies List
- a straw hat or fedora
- embroidery floss
- an embroidery needle
- a pair of scissors
