Mimoki - Spanish word for a lady!

Since my boyfriend works here in Madrid I truly spend a lot of time here so during this visit I am taking time to explore fabulous multi brand stores, hopefully another small vintage shop like Templo de Susu which I found the last time I was here and I am hoping to discover talented local designers just like the Juan Vidal whose work I absolutely adore!

As you could have seen from some of my previous posts like: Wrap it your way and So many hats and only one head, I really love to buy and wear hats and head wraps, in two just mentioned posts I also shared a tutorial on how to wrap it if you are curious to try it.

My new discovery is Mimoki an original headdresses, which also sells shoes and bags in the brand's signature style. Amazing boutique, absolutely gorgeous hats, hat covers, head wraps and accessories to match are just some of the reasons why you should visit Mimoki when visiting Madrid. World famous fashionista and since recently fashion designer herself Victoria Beckham loves and wears Mimoki hats, but Mimoki pieces are also regularly featured in top fashion magazines including Spanish Vogue.

Here is how these amazing little works of art look like; I am sure that when wearing Mimoki piece lady simply cannot go unnoticed! I want them all! J

Would you dare to wear one of these fabulous pieces lovelies? 

"A hat is a flag, a shield, a bit of armor, and the badge of femininity.

A hat is the difference between wearing clothes and wearing a costume;

it's the difference between being dressed and being dressed up;

it's the difference between looking adequate and looking your best.

A hat is to be stylish in, to glow under, to flirt beneath,

to make all others seem jealous over, and to make all men feel masculine about.

A piece of magic is a hat."

Martha Sliter

Wrap it your way!

Some of you might remember, some time ago I wrote a post: So many hats and only one head!  where I also talked about head wraps and turbans, as this is a piece of a head turning accessory which I personally really like to wear because I believe it brings instant glam to any look and it gives a girl that rather sophisticated, exotic and glamorous feel, for last couple of seasons designers, editors and stylists adore head covers!

 Ok, I would not recommend it to shy girls who do not like to stand out, but I promise to all of you who like fashion & experimenting with different looks, no matter on how your daily routine looks like, you will be able to get an inspiration and learn how to wrap it while reading this post. J

Regardless what kind of a hair day you are having or what your hair type might be I recommend you to definitely try it. For the night on the town I would go with black turban with maybe a brooch for more classic look or a colorful and more comprehensive turban wrap with more fabric if you are wearing a one color outfit.

Here is a simple Fashionata’s tutorial where I learned how to wrap a head scarf to wear as a hair accessory during a working day or a day in school:

How do you like it? Is wearing a head scarf or turban something you would try?

In fashion, you know you have succeeded when there is an element of upset.
