Hat Frenzy at Royal Ascot 2017

The Royal Ascot was nothing short of amazing this year. Every year Royal Ascot is attended by Elizabeth II and other members of the British Royal Family arriving each day in a horse-drawn carriage with the Royal procession taking place at the start of each race day and the raising of the Queens Royal Standard. It is a major event in the British social calender, and press coverage of the attendees and what they are wearing often exceeds coverage of the actual racing. It was lit wit a little 'Omg' on the side. There were classics and  the "oh not so classy".Would you  wear these? Comments are always welcome.Take a look...

I always say you're never too old to chase your dreams but when it comes to fashion , there are some clothes and trends that do not apply to certain age groups and hence should not be touched let alone worn by them. You're still my Hero Celine. I still love you.
