hat of the day (fit for a Queen)


I've got a bit of a conundrum. Perhaps you could help me. In the process of running around shooting streetstyle, I often find other fashion-related fun things to shoot & talk about. My husband, Mr. Dot, is really adamant I stay on topic & every time I wander off the reservation, it's a whole Thing.

What do you think? Should I keep this blog strictly to streetstyle shots, and do the rest on a separate, sister blog? Or can I continue to combine the two under the same umbrella?
For example, I shot so many of these floral hats at a great competition at the Chelsea Flower Show. Even the Queen was inspired, as it says
here in the Times. I'd like to feature a Hat a Day til I run out of shots (it was really hard - I wanted to shoot them all!) but is that going to put off the punters?

I've really been struggling with this. Please tell me what to do: stay on topic, or widen the net. Leave a comment if you'd like, or email me (jill@haybooks.com - it's on my profile). Your vote counts! Many thanks.

make your mark


I was lost in a neighbourhood I knew well, Knightsbridge, on a fabulous quiet street I'd never been to before, on the way to the Palace to meet friends to greet Obama as he came to see the Queen for tea. I ran into Phil, on his way to get a visa to go to Egypt. He gave me his card and I'm intrigued by what they do (see 'make your mark', right). It's gotta be a nice thing!
