Fascination with fascinators


Small headpieces adorned with jewels, tulle, flowers and most importantly, feathers seem to be all the rage these days ...  We are delighted to be able to run a contest in collaboration with the one and only Madeleine Cormier from Chapeaux de Madeleine. Some of you might already know her, but for those who don't she has an adorable store steps away from us in the Time Square Building in the Byward Market.


Madeleine’s hats have received high praise in fashion circles across North America, captured the eye of international critics at L’Oreal Fashion Week, and contributed to a dynamic partnership with Canadian designer Jayn Simpson. 
She even designed some fascinators/head adornments that were worn at the Royal Wedding.

From weddings, religious ceremonies, gala dinners and garden parties to cruise ship holidays and strolls around town — They all are equally worthy of the statement made by a fascinator/hat.


So ... the contest? What do you win and how? We will be drawing one lucky winners name from our Facebook and Twitter fan base on August 1st, 2011 via Random.org

The lucky winner will receive $125.00 to spend at Chapeaux de Madeleine. There are tons of already ready made fascinators what will delight you, or if you wish to have something custom made you can do that too .. Very InStyle!!!! The possibilities and the fun you will have when you hit the town are endless!

Here's to taking it up a notch this summer and having some sassy fun, be it for your upcoming wedding or a special event where you just want to make a statement!
