sick, ick....st. nick?

Here are some of the latest items being added to the online shop this week. Thanks again to all my beautiful customers who came to my studio shopping hours Monday and Tuesday evening. You guys are magical! I'm starting new Christmas shopping hours. Every Tuesday from now until Christmas the studio will be open from 5-8pm. Complimentary gift wrapping is a bonus! 

 Outfit posts are being put on the back burner probably until next week. I am sitting in slouchy pj's, comfy knit sweaters, and polka dot undies. Can you guess it? I am sick with a horrible sore throat. Enjoy some of my latest creations. Christmas and St. Nick are coming soon and now Hattitude is offering Gift Certificates in an monetary amount. Happy days! Time to get Hattified.

I hope you are all healthy and smiling. Have a great week.

I wore this dress to the SHARE dinner and dance function. It's a handmade dress that I picked up at a thrift store. I've been taking a sewing class so of course I've been looking over all the hems, and stitches and seeing how it was all constructed together. The coat is from another vintage store. The scarf is a nice autumn leaf print scarf from my mom's closet. 

The charity event we went to on Saturday was for the SHARE foundation which helps farmers in third world countries in sending them farming aid. My grandfather was one of the founders. It's a really great organization, doing a lot of good for a lot of people in different parts of South America. I was proud we all went and had a 'cousins' table.

Tomorrow and Tuesday are my studio shop hours. Come on by the studio in Caledon from 5-8pm if you want to get Hattified to beat the November blahs.

yoga with a pep in your step

What I wore: 

Dress: Frilly Lizard, London, Ontario

Belt: vintage 

Sweater: Vintage 

Necklace: Hattitude jewellery. Coming to the online shop SOON

I love old grandma sweaters paired with cute new dresses. I got this dress last week at one of the great shops in London and immediately knew I had to Hattify it with an old sweater and a long necklace. 

I met a friend today at the market for lunch. It's about a 20 minute walk, and I was bundled up, cotton ball hat, wool scarf and gloves, the whole tidbit. I've never been good with the cold so getting me to go outside to take outfit posts (although much prettier backdrop) is not going to happen. So bare with me as I experiment. I promise to improve. I'm slowly going around our apartment building complex and apartment testing out the different rooms and lighting. I wish the sun would come back out. It's been so long since we've had any sunshine on our faces! Maybe I should consider skipping down to Barbados for a week? I don't know how people live in this rain ALL the time, like on the west coast. My cure for the blues on rainy days....yoga. I've been going to yoga and every time it's raining, I still come back from yoga with a pep in my step. It's almost the weekend! What are your plans? We have a charity event on Saturday night. Time to put on your fancy pants.

Have a boo-tastic Halloween!

Boo

 Here's what I'm wearing for Halloween, the day of the dead. Stripes, orange, and cats! Inspired by a friend of mine who loves cats, and themed outfits. Check out my skull earring studs as well. Awesome sauce.

Please bare with me while my photo quality is not up to snuff and while I figure out how to take photos inside. Any tips would be so appreciated! I have a canon, with a kit lense, a zoom lense, and a 2.8F lense...but still...it's not going so well. Do I need a flash? Help! Hurricane Sandy and the pure cold are stopping me from taking some great photos outside. Perhaps I'll just have to wait for the sun to come back. 

Hope you are all having a wooonderful and boo-tastic Halloween! 

The perfect bracelet for the perfect day! Doesn't it remind you of The Nightmare before Christmas? (Plus it's great for your little black or silver dresses come the winter months!)

a new locket in the shop

What I wore: 

Shoes: Chez Thrift

Tights: American Apparel

Blazer: Club Monaco

Sweater dress: Hannahs Closet

Locket necklace: Coming to my shop soon!

boy is it hard finding a place to take photos since Hurricane Sandy decided to breeze near London, ON. I'm glad to hear no one has been too tragically hit by her. Keeping those in mind that have been hit by her and supporting the Red Cross.

I took these photos wondering around the inside of my building. The rooftop lounge, the alleyway to outside etc. It's hard getting the lighting and for it not to be blurry, yet still light enough. Any tips for shooting indoors? 

Tonight we're going to the Lost Souls Stroll. Which is a theater group, Fringe putting on a haunted walk throughout downtown. I'm so excited. I LOVE Halloween. 

P.s. I just got a new iphone 5...never owned one before. Any tips or tricks or cool apps I should be downloading let me know! I'm slowly working my way through it. Add me to instagram for cute photos of my cat and of course to see where the magic happens in my studio @hattitudejewels

p.p.s have you started your christmas shopping yet? I know it's still tons early? But if you love perusing the internet and love having packages delivered to your doorstep then check out my shop for handmade items using new and vintage recycled pieces. New pieces being added daily. Happy shopping. www.GotHattitude.com

Have a Spooktastic Halloween!

No I said...What kind of bird are YOU?

 Dear Suzy, When? Dear Sam, Where? 

We have a Star Fox, a Suzy, a festive witch, Nickle back, hipster Santa Claus, a homemade batman costume (from when she was 7) and a Sam. 

Missing from the photo is our paper bag princess (a very hairy 27 year old male), our knight, and a captain. Sorry you guys missed the photo shoot. 

Everyone that we had up to our new place dressed up and looked amazing! Thanks for such a great Halloween weekend. 

How was everyone else's weekend? What did you dress up as? Are you going out on Wednesday?

Have a spoooky week :)
