Lady Edith, Countess Cora and Lady Mary
Like many of you last Sunday night, we were glued to our televisions watching the first episode of the last season of Downton Abbey. Having valiantly resisted the urge to download Season 6 illegally on our computers for a year, we stayed up beyond our usual weeknight bedtime (we do get up very early to get teenage boys off to school so please don’t judge!) While we found the first episode a bit slow (they needed to wrap up lose ends with Anna and Mr. Bates and remind us of Mary’s wild week of romance), we so loved the Dowager’s one liners (“Does it ever get cold on the moral high ground?) and the fashions. Even Mary showed up wearing last year’s Marsala (Pantone’s 2015 Color of the Year) looking lovely.
Jennifer Ouellette – Madonna Hat
Kate Spade – New York Hat
Given this week brutal change in temperature, we’re dedicating this fashion post to hats and pins – and hope that the ladies of Downton Abbey would approve.
Lanvin – Flower Brooch
Theo Fennel – Dragonfly Pin
Stazia Loren – Floral Brooch
Are you a fan? Let’s us know what you thought of the fashions…
Happy “Flapper” Friday!

I finally figured out how to leave a reply…I had visited you a few times and could not find out how to leave a message….so here is a very very belated Merry Christmas and a very joyous new year to you! May 2016 bring you much joy, love, prosperity and laughter.
Love everything about Downton Abby and our world needs to take a few cues……civility, decorum, the dressing, modesty, the sheer elegance of it all….I could go on. It is all so beautiful!
I think the Dowager’s comment was my favorite yet. Love all the accessories you found. Have a happy new year, pretty ladies!!
Isn’t Downton the absolute best?! I love the Dowager’s comments as well. Your finds are fabulous as always! Have a wonderful weekend, ladies (or as the Dowager would say “What is a weekend?”) xoxo
Lee & I are Downton Abbey addicts! We went to a costume exhibit and blogged about it. I couldn’t leave! If you have time take a look at that blog post, the setting was especially appropriate.
