About:
I have always been obsessed with these little chenille chicks!
I decided that I need to make them into a hat.
I think it turned out to be creepy funny and cute...just the way I like it!
On Easter Pierre and I decided to go and check out the south bank
because there was an explosion of Easter themed events happening all over.
We went to:
Real food market Really good food there!!!
OXO tower Art and boutiques, met a really nice lady working in one of the shops
Cross bones graveyard The lady above told us about this amazing historical location

That hat looks fun! I love how that random guy is glancing over at you. Glad to see you had a good Easter. I sure hope my box gets there soon! Maybe Wednesday.
Its actually a full dress :) I think I will wear the hat normally hahah
You turn everything into a hat, me, into a skirt, lol
Loving your chicken headdo, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
YES
i'm glad you went full creep status with the chick-head
so perfect
gosh. that hat looks great. i've long been admiring your fabulous style and creations. i think i saw you on the train from bath back to london last night but didn't know whether to bother you with introducing myself as a reader of your blog.
Nicole the hat is AMAZING! I walked past a whole row of those little chicks the other day and thought - who on earth buys them? YOU! and you made them into something awesome! Love it so so much. Happy easter!
LOL at the Eatser hat. I ADORE it. Years ago, at easter, I used to make my hair into a bun/nest and pin a couple of chicks in it, but you are taking it to the next level (actually a few levels further). I am also obsessed with those little chicks. When I was a little girl, we had pet quails, and that is exactly what the babies used to look like! :D
And I thought Easter was dull.I was clearly misguided.
That hat shits all over the regular Easter bonnets!
Love it,quite madly.
Ahhh! I am loving the florals! What a great coat and socks! The headwear is just amazing, though, I am in love! So cute!

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Childhood chick soul mates! ;) Thank you for the best complement in the wooooooorld!
You know, you should really be a movie costumer. Even for a short movie. Some kind of faery, creepy adventure thing. I'd totally watch it only for the costumes.
