a christmas poem and how to wear a statement necklace

Every Tuesday until Christmas 5-8pm

Caledon East studio shopping hours

T'was 44 days before Christmas, when all through the town, 

every person was thinking, about what to do now?

The people were thinking, about their gifts with care, 

should they buy local, and feel all prepared? 

The jewellery was made all pretty in different shades, 

while custom pieces were still being handmade. 

The studio shopping hours were ready to go,

5-8pm every Tuesday in Caledon East for show. 

When out of the blue you thought ah yes,

I want to avoid the congested mall crowds and all of the jest,

Shopping hours I shall head to in a flash, 

Not a moment to lose, I must dash!

You're thinking so hard about what to give and receive, 

ah-ha that's easy, one of a kind gift it will be. 

Here's a way to wear the statement necklaces that are so hot this season. Try it with a jean collared shirt, a textured neutral skirt (is a dress underneath) and a knit pullover sweater with this snakes and ladders statement necklace hand designed by me. You can view it in my shop. Click Here.

I love hats in the fall. What's your favourite go-to clothing or accessories piece this fall? The autumn is cool enough that your head does not sweat from the heat of the hat, but yet warm enough that you don't need a wooly hat to keep your ears warm against the snow and wind. Fall is a great time of year for layering. I love the little details, like rolling up pant legs, with big socks. With vests and statement necklaces. Statment necklaces are the number one essential piece you MUST have in your wardrobe this year. I think they are amazing and take any outfit from a blah to a zing! Autumn is the perfect season to get your fashion on. 

I just got back from England 5 days ago, and it was my first time in Europe. I had goosebumps the entire time. No one prepares you for the majestic feeling you have walking into a building that is over a 1,000 years old. It was incredible.

I loved how everyone dressed in London, in fact one of my favourite things to do was just sit on the tube and watch all the different people that would get on and see what they all were wearing! The men in europe are so stylish, every single man in london was dressed to the nines. I hope you all had a wonderful past two weeks. What's your favourite place in Europe? England? London?

It's now turned from summer heat wearing dresses to wearing my fleece tights, my kilts and warm sweaters! It sure was chilly today - 5 degrees! brrr. 

This is a Europe inspired outfit. I just got back from spending two weeks in England. I just adore this floppy hat. Something about putting on a floppy hat and instantly your outfit goes from a 1950's grandmother's outfit and turns into a modern day fashion look. High boots are also important in this type of look. If you don't have knee high boots, that is shame and that must be remedied for this season! I think high boots modernize any outfit and are great for longer wool skirts, that COULD be frumpy but updates them to be stylish.
The three patterns on this outfit all work well together because they are either small pattern or they have a lot of cream or solid colour background to compliment it. Throwing on a statement necklace is also important when trying to modernize pullover sweaters and below the knee length skirts. Statement necklaces look awesome over collared shirts and pull over sweaters or cardigans. Do the buttons right up, leave your shirt un-tucked and wear a long cardigan with a statement necklace from my online shop www.GotHattitude.com with some jeans for a more casual look if you don't think you can pull of this english inspired outfit. 

Are you all ready for Halloween? Tristan and I are decorating this weekend. We are having a halloween party and the guest of honours are Mr. and Mrs. skeleton and their family. They'll be residing at our dinner table for the evening. (Can you tell I love halloween and can't wait for next weekend's party, strobe lights, fog machine, dry ice, guts, blood and more!) 

Tristan and I are having some troubles figuring out what we should be. Here's our last two year outfits. 

What are you going as? Do you celebrate halloween? What was your favourite costume you ever dressed up as?

I LOVE this pleated skirt. The colour is very unique and neutral. I can see it's going to turn in to a staple in my closet. Something I always grab. It's a new vintage find from the weekend. I also adore men's fedoras and they often pop into my outfits. Old man loafers AND old man fedoras + a pleated skirt...a girl can feel extra special wearing that fierce combination!

It's humid again, I don't even mind it for this last week of summer. I would do anything to hold on to the summer heat and fresh corn on the cob. I think that is my favourite thing about August. As little kids we used to eat corn on the cob EVERY single night at the cottage during the summer months. It was the best. Now my extended family farm has started growing human corn so we get to enjoy the deliciousness of FRESH corn thrown in the pot. 

What's your favourite summer time vegetable or summer tradition? Are you trying to squeeze anything in the last few days of summer?

YOU COULD WIN A PIECE OF KENSIE CLOTHING

Necklace: handmade by me, Hattitude jewellery

Do you like this beach cover up? You could win it! 

I was offered to do a review for Kensie clothing and I was thrilled to do one! I must say I am very happy with this beach cover up. I LOVE that is has sleeves on it to protect me from the sun. It is light and comfortable and I think looks great with all my bright bathing suits. I am just so impressed with this cover up. It's really lovely. I like the details of the tied bow on the legs, the pocket and I just seriously love how it has longer sleeves instead of straps to help keep me sun protected. It's so hard to find beach cover ups that have sleeve caps on them. 

Kensie told me I could give a beach cover up away as well! Or anything else you want from this site. Click here and enter the password SOMETHING PRETTY. If you win you can choose ANYTHING on the site. Enter using the form below and next friday I will announce the winner. 

p.s. it's now SUPER easy to enter my giveaways. I found a cool site that makes it easy for you to click and takes the work out of it, making it more likely YOU will win a piece of clothing from Kensie. 

Enjoy and good luck.
