pale colours in pale winter

Outfit details:
Pants: Vintage wool
Belt: Thrifted
Sweater: Thrifted
Necklace: Hattitude jewellery

Winter seemed to have come back for a few days this week, thankfully the forecast says it's suppose to go above zero next week. This bloggette cannot wait for Spring time! Taking photos inside is fine and dandy (thank heavens for big windows) but I always like getting out and exploring new places to take shots.

I love this belt on this outfit. A pattern belt on a pale pair of pants and plain shirt always makes for a fun piece. The necklace adds a touch of spice as well.

How are your friday's shaping up to be? I think we are laying low tonight. A good home cooked dinner and a lovely movie. I did a little "re-decorating" in my store today. I've been working hard away at changing up my shop's decor. Take a look at the new design. www.GotHattitude.com

how to update a vintage necklace

Outfit Details: 

Skirt: Mother's

Denim Shirt: Joe Fresh

Shirt: Urban Outfitters

Belt: Thrifted

Scarf: Vintage

Necklace: Gift, Vintage 1940's

I love this beautiful necklace. It was a gift for christmas from my boyfriend. It's a real 1940's (?) vintage necklace. It's absolutly so beautiful. It's hard to know how to wear this beautiful piece of jewelry without looking dated, so you throw on some modern clothes, denim shirts work awesome, patterned tops are another great item. As always a belt helps over top of your tucked in denim shirt. A pair of jeans would have worked well with this vintage necklace to update it as well. 

This past weekend I went to the best pot luck I have ever been to! All the food was amazing. I guess you can tell we're getting a little older and learning to cook, everyone brought gourmet pot luck items instead of buying a vegetable platter from the grocery store. We also went to a London Lightening basketball game. It was our first one and it was neat. We're both not huge fans of basketball, but we went with 10 other people and the tickets were free so of course it was a hoot. 

How was your weekend? I'm in Toronto for a few days having a little adventure with my sistercuz. Hope your week is going well!

my grandfathers hat

Outfit Details: 

Dress/Jumper: Vintage, Wild Rose, Guelph, ON

Denim shirt: Joe Fresh

Belt: Forever 21

Tights: The Bay

Boots: Chez Thrift, Bolton, ON

Hat: Grandfathers

Necklace: Hattitude Jewellery shop

I think this hat completes the outfit, which used to be my grandfathers. Also the yellow bow belt. Who doesn't swoon over a bow belt? I now own three of them and LOVE them all to pieces. I particularly like bow belts because they update what could have been a frumpy vintage jumper into a modern day outfit. I really think denim shirts are key in updating your vintage finds as well, if you want to update them, some people just love the classic look of vintage. I like to update mine a little with modern style items, such as bow belts and denim shirts. I guess that's why I update vintage brooches and earrings in to new funky modern day jewelry to wear every day. Have you checked out my online store yet? Take a gander over here at my online shop.

I hope your Friday nights are going swimmingly. I am off for a date night dinner. Tomorrow off to a card... party? Is that what one would call it? It's a gathering where you make your own greeting cards, sort of like a tupper ware party but make your own greeting cards. It's fun. I love being creative like that, but don't own half the scrapbooking items that are needed to do it, so this is a great excuse!

Have a great weekend!

favourite winter time dress

Outfit Details: 

Dress: Banana Republic 

Belt: Vintage 

Sweater: Thrifted

Tights: The Bay 

Boots: Thrifted

Scarf: Vintage

Necklace/bracelets: Hattitude jewellery

I love this dress. It's such a great winter time wear. It's warm, the perfect length and looks rustic chic. It has a bit of pink in the tweed so I love picking that up with the coral sweater and accenting it with the jewelry. Do you have a favourite winter time outfit? 

I Hattified this outfit with some rockin' gems, some killer leg warmers and kickin' hair bow. It's all in the bow eh? I love how much volume it gives my hair. Bigger the better, no?

This week I've been working away. I've got a ton of new jewellery being added to the online shop this weekend. I've been working away on my spring/summer collection.

snap shots of my apartment

Here's a little sneak in to our apartment. Snap shots of our first place we have called home together. We've been here about seven months and I just LOVE the place. I did not post any of our bedroom (my favourite decorated room in the house!) or my studio. I'll have to post those next week. I love taking peeks into other people's lives and homes. Hope you enjoy these tidbits. 

Curling was a huge success on the weekend! You know you're Canadian when, eh? Has anyone else curled? It's actually really fun and challenging! I have a huge bruise on my elbow from it. Curling can get intense!

Neat fact for this week, we leave for Barbados in exactly 14 days. Gosh I am so excited. Follow me on instagram @hattitudejewels for all the latest outfit finds that I'm taking on our trip! I can't wait to go South. Did you sneak away for a little vacation this winter? Living in London, Ontario right in the snow belt this year has proved that I need a sunny destination ASAP! It is ALWAYS snowing here.
