Straw bonnet by Mrs Parker.

Guess what just arrived in the mail, you guys! One of the two bonnets I ordered from Mrs Parker's Millinery and Mercantile! The other one's still in the making but this was the plan all along: the artist herself, Pamela Robles, is very friendly and good at keeping her customers informed. The ordering was also made very simple. I merely contacted her via e-mail and explained what I'd like to have, she asked me more questions and eventually we reached a conclusion as to how the end product ought to look like. There was a bit of a queue so it took a while before I finally got my bonnet, but it was definitely worth the wait! Besides it was finished exactly the time we had agreed on when she took my order.

And this is the first coord I wore it with. My R-Series order also came and the shirt is from them. The two-piece skirt is, of course, Bodyline and so are my boots.

Ok, this was just the initial jumping of joy -reaction of finally getting my hands on the long awaited bonnet, I'm planning to write a proper review for egl and that one will have better photos from all sides and more detail shots too. I love every single part of it. I love how securely it sits on my head, how natural it looks, how well it covers the top of my head (that burns easily) and how the front is just the right size for my face etc. etc.

Btw I also love this BL set. It's been my dream item in this colourway and for a BL item it's been ridiculously difficult to find! Bob bless the sales comm.
