I know they still sell those brass cicada's on Etsy so I may just have to have a hat like the first one. Even if real cicada's freak me out, my biggest fear is insects/bugs, but I like the jeweled ones!Bianca Espositohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01541302311277420740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3482142516265173452.post-73379948208368809302015-09-12T02:24:35.795-06:002015-09-12T02:24:35.795-06:00I've always been drawn to whimsy in fashion an...I've always been drawn to whimsy in fashion and will never forget the first time I saw a Bes Ben hat many years ago now - it was a beehive shaped one with (faux) bees and I was utterly, endlessly smitten. If money was no option, I would love to collect this milliner's incredible creations. They're so sweet, fun, and lighthearted - while still huge on chic (vintage) style. Thank you for highlighting the work of this truly talented man, dear Bianca. <br /><br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.com
