[ lovely hat by Brenda! ]
A few months ago Brenda, who runs Humble Bumble B and make adorably retro-styled hats, contacted me about modeling a hat for her. Of course I jumped at the chance (what girl wouldn’t?!), and she made me a custom hat to photograph, based on a vintage stewardess cap I sent her pictures of (hence the title of this post). Is this hat not the most adorable thing ever?! I love it!!!

Sailor Husband graciously offered to take pictures of me–because I’m utter rubbish when doing self portraits that I need to turn out really well (it doesn’t help I don’t have a remote for my camera yet… need to get one!). I have to admit I’m pretty proud of these shots he took; he did a lot of photography in high school, but hasn’t done much since he enlisted. I think he needs to keep at it, don’t you? If nothing else, I need to make him my Official Photographer. hehe!
Thank you Brenda for this lovely hat and opportunity to do a little modeling! (If you want to see more shots, I put a ridiculous amount up on Flickr… Yikes! I feel slightly silly–I don’t want to seem narcissistic! lol.)
p.s. Thank you all for your lovely comments last week! Especially the gardening advice… I am printing out a lot of the tips and book suggestions to get myself started with this!
you look lovely here! you definitely need to train sailor husband up to be your official photographer hehe.
You look GORGEOUS! She chose her model well.
Well, photographers need good subjects and your husband is lucky in that department. Went to your flickr page – love the salute photo! And the one of you kinda glaring at the camera…lol…I mean that in a good way – it seems saucy.
The photos are lovely. You look beautiful and that hat is so cute!

That hat is adorable! These pictures are stunning Casey, STUNNING!
You look gorgeous, dahling! Love your hair, the hat, your hubby’s photos . . . all of it!
oh how glamourous, beautiful lady!!! I love the hat and the shots. your sailor husband takes good photos.
Your hat is adorable. Great modeling job.
Your husband did a great job with the photography.
I think you always look so cute in the clothes you make, etc.
Maybe more designers will get the hint from all the people who love vintage clothing and design things with more of a retro look.
meant to comment on your neat sewing area. I have a craft room that is neat for about 10 minutes.
LOVE it!!
That hat is adorable and your pics are great! I am a little jealous that I am not a “hat person”, but it goes so well with your look!
@Renee: I was shocked when I picked up JC Penney’s latest Little Red Book. It starts out with some 60′s mod looks (reminded me a little of the stewardess look.) Has a couple 50′s-ish floral print dresses (above the knee, though.) Really that’s where it stops, but I was surprised and happy to see that they were taking inspiration from some style decades that I love, instead of being filled with 80′s monstrosities. Seriously, if your demographic used to wear that crap when they were kids, chances are they don’t want to revisit that horror.
The hat is gorgeous, and so are you in these photos
You’re right – your husband is a great photographer. The lighting is just perfect in these photos – fresh and pretty.
Oh my!!!- You look absolutely gorgeous my dear!
Casey, you look gorgeous as always! And that hat is so much fun!
Adorable photos! You look amazing, that hat and the whole look totally suits you.
I am considering getting a remote for my camera too! I’m also having a hard time getting good self-pictures and can only get my guy to help so often. If you get one, let us know how it works out for you
So cute! And you look AMAZING!

how cute! you look totally like a profesional model.
I’ve just come across your blog, it’s so cute and stunning! Love the colours and visuals. Lovely pictures by the way
Great job — you look fantastic!
Your husband should take more photos! These are so so lovely, and, yes, once again I’ll say that you should go into vintage modeling full-time!
How cute are you?! L did a fabulous job on the photos and the hat is darling. Thanks for sharing. :>
You look lovely as always! And the collours in the photos is great!
Stunningly lovely!!
Your husband is, indeed, quite the talented sailor! And what a dainty little blue chapeau!!
Happy new week to You!
Oh my you look absolutely stunning!
That husband should be encouraged to do more photography! I can tell you both had fun taking those! Very cute.
Love,
Mom
OMG i love HumbleBumbleB!! their hats are too cute for words. whenever i do a show with her, i come home with a new hat
Absolutely gorgeous! I want one of those hats now. I guess you were therefore successful in your modeling job!
Fabulous! I meant to ask you a few days ago- you mentioned that you sew facings into most of your clothing. Do you use a particular type of interfacing, or do you just use the fashion fabric? I’ve used facings a few times according to pattern instructions (using fusible interfacing) and the result is always too stiff, too “homemade” looking for me.
more gardening tips! I just found this website and thought you might like it.
