Hey!

Welcome to The Very Simon G. My blog has been going for nearly a decade, but there ain’t getting away from me just yet! Come in for fashion, fun and everything in between. Enjoy!

Hats off: Royal Ascot begins!

"I think tomorrow is a 'Say Something' hat day" announced a dragged-up Patrick Swayze as Miss Vida Boheme in one my favourite films, To Wong Foo Thanks For Everything Julie Newmar.

And he/she wasn't wrong. Although today's the day when the hats come out, in all their MASSIVE glory, for Royal Ascot - not only the most coveted horse race day of the year, but also a fashion extravaganza. And, as we all know, the Hat Parade!

Here's a few from today's proceedings to get you started. Note the old lady with the falling bush on her head and Princess Beatrice's rather... disappointing choice, considering the press she received for her royal wedding fabulous oversized door knocker!

More to come!!!

Enjoy!





If you buy one thing today boys and girls...
