Okay, so today was the first time I heard of a cloche hat. I read it on my invoice and I actually thought it was spelt wrong. I decided to google it, yes 'google it' and found it was a type of hat! Did you know that? Or am I the only one in the dark?

'Cloche' is actually a french word that means 'bell'. The cloche hat is a fitted, bell-shaped hat for women that was invented by milliner Caroline Reboux in 1908, became especially popular during the 1920s, and continued to be commonly seen until about 1933. In the late 1980s, newly invented models of the cloche, such as Patrick Kelly's version with a buttoned brim, made a minor resurgence.

Angelina Jolie wore a cloche hat in the 2008 film Changeling, which was set in the late 1920s. I saw this picture and thought ahha! It does resemble a bell doesn't it?

Well they say a day isn't worth living if you don't learn something new ;)

I have a cloche hat up for sale - no no not a real one. Its a really cute little charm. Take a peek here.
