a spring blazer look

Outfits: 

Boots: Mothers

Socks: Gift

Dress: Thrifted

Blazer: Winners

Pin: Weezi Studio

Sweater: F21

Shirt: Joe Fresh

Jewellery: Hattitude jewellery/vintage necklace

This weekend we had a lovely time being back in the town where we grew up. The weather finally decided to warm up a bit, so I was able to snap some photos outside. I love taking outfit shots outside. Scenery is so much prettier and the photo quality is better. I love the spring weather and wearing blazers instead of heavy lined winter jackets. Isn't the little brooch cute from Weezi studio? This jean shirt is becoming a staple in my spring wardrobe to update my vintage items.

We were lucky enough that we got to see my boyfriend's nephews which was a highlight of the weekend for me. I got some items checked off of my bridesmaid to do list for the Summer wedding coming up quickly, as well as a meeting for the CF for CF fashion show that is coming up in September. Plans are slowly but surely coming together for our fashion show. There is about 13 girls on the executive. We started meeting and planning the show since November. It's nicer this time around not having so much stress all at once. So much work still to be done though. If you have not been to the show before you'll have to catch it this year. About 500 people come at the Royal Ambassador in Caledon, with 8 fashion houses from around our community. It's to raise money for cystic fibrosis and organ donation awareness. Over the last two fashion shows we've raised more then $60,000 for the foundation. 

Hope your weekend's were awesome!

how to wear a lace dress

Outfit Details:

Dress: Winners

Shirt: Joe Fresh

Tights: The bay

Jewellery: Hattitude jewellery

Here is one way to wear a lace dress even though the weather is quite chilly. I got a little over zealous with thinking of summer (I bought this dress for Barbados vacation) and I wore it with my wool tights (this is key my friends) with a long sleeve off white shirt underneath my blue jean shirt. But I just looove this pretty soft lace dress. Doesn't it just scream summer drinks on a beach? What are you looking forward to the most come the warmer spring weather? I'm counting down the day until out door farmers markets! It's been a long winter without all the fresh veggies and fruits.

I've been listening to Father John Misty as of late. Give him a whirl on your speakers. Let the music flow through you while picturing the sounds of seagulls, waves, splashes and imagining the sand between your toes while the sun kisses your face. Summer. Enjoy.

the perfect in between weather dress

I just love this dress. It's the perfect in between weather, a Sprinter (Spring/Winter) dress. It's warm enough that I can wear it when it's a blizzard out (like this morning) but cool enough that come the sunshine (like this afternoon) I still feel comfortable. The necklace is a new favourite of mine. I made it from an art deco piece made from bake lite. It's pretty awesome with it's flowers etched in to the centre piece. 

I hope everyone had a fabulous Easter! I love long weekends. Ours was extra long. Back to working this week and trying to get some new pieces up in the online shop. Have you seen my new design for it? www.GotHattitude.com

a hand stitched vintage dress

Outfit Details 

Dress: Vintage

Belt: Gift

Sweater: Thrifted

Bow: Joe Fresh

Necklace: Hattitude Jewellery 

I thought I would break this dress out one last time before the pastel and bright colours start flooding the blog for Spring. I got this vintage dress in Toronto. It is hand made, you can tell when you flip it inside out all the hand stitching and work that has been done. I love finding an old patterned dress or skirt in the thrift stores that someone has hand made once upon a time ago. It makes the thrill of the hunt so much better. 

I like the little details in this outfit. The bow in my hair, and the bow in the belt. It's all in the tiny details that make an outfit go from blah to hurrah. 

What are you doing for Easter? I hope it's a great one spent with friends and family. If you have not told them you loved them in awhile, this weekend is a great chance to do it! Happy almost Friday.

Mustard walls and mustard skirts

Outfit Details: 

Pink Martini Skirt: Lolitta, London, ON

Shirt: Clothing Swap

Sweater: Chez Thrift

Jewellery: Hattitude Jewellery shop

I love this skirt. The colour speaks for itself. As soon as I saw that pink martini has a skirt out in mustard I knew I had to have it. If anyone knows me mustard is one of my favourite colours. I've recently convinced my mom to repaint my parents living room mustard, mind you the rest of the house is neon geen, turquoise and red, so mustard was not a far stretch. 

I booked another bride today. Have you checked out my Bridal boutique. www.etsy.com/shop/hattitudejewels 

Been working away here in the studio. April is a busy month. I have a number of things on the calendar! Winter keeps holding on, but alas today we had 6 degree whether and I did not have to turn the heat on in my studio space. Yippee Spring is coming... thankfully! Those electric heat bills were killing us! 

Have a sunshiney Tuesday.

I love these new jeans I got at the clothing swap this weekend. Every year me and my girlfriends have a clothing swap. We bring clothes we're sick of or don't want anymore and we all swap! Sometimes you find some real gems! Isn't the flare fun? The shoes are another gift from Christmas from the spanish clothing company KLING. They're genuis in their work. 

Ah Mondays! I've never been so busy as I am then this Monday. I have so many brides I'm trying to finish up as well as other people's custom work. The Hattitude studio is a bomb shell right now as I busily try to get all the jewellery orders out on time.

If you have not browsed my wedding boutique. Take a look. Click here. Please recommend me to anyone looking for custom jewellery to give their bridesmaids or for themselves. www.etsy.com/shop/hattitudejewels

Have a good week!

singing in the rain (or snow)

Outfit details:

Poncho: Kling

Pants: Vintage

Hat: borrowed from a friend

Brooch: Vintage, gift

Jewellery: Hattitude jewellery shop

Hello lovely blogettes and fellow fashionista readers! I'm in love with this poncho my boyfriends mother gave to me for Christmas. It kind of looks like I'm singing in the rain (or snow) with the hat and poncho style? She got the poncho all the way from Spain! How neat is that? Have you ever check out kling clothing. They have the coolest items. I was lucky enough to get a few for Christmas! 

I love pairing something vintage with something new. The pants are vintage, the poncho new. It creates a more modern fun look without looking frumpy dumpy. I also LOVE the little brooch I pinned on the poncho. It's a basket full of CATS! My older brother bought me it for christmas. So cute. All in the details, right? 

I'm back from the beautiful Barbados. It was such a lovely trip. It's so funny how you just feel SO much healthier down south then cold Canada. We are so stationary here with all this snow and freezing weather. I was hoping when I got back Spring would be here. This is not the case, in fact it seems winter is dragging it's deep claws a little more for a little longer. It's already snowed every day since we've been back (three days ago). 

Two BIG pieces of news 

1. my dear childhood friend got engaged a month or two ago and is getting married this summer. I get the honour of standing up beside her as her bridesmaid. I'm so excited. She is such a dear friend. What a fun summer filled with weddings, working on the jewellery for bridal parties (click here to see my bridal boutique) AND attending them. 

2. My boyfriend got his dream job! He is now a field technician for the Ontario Archeology Museum. It's such a great opportunity and what a wonderful experience. He was offered the job on the spot after the interview... how often does that happen?! So proud of him! He's been working SO hard the last year and a half taking courses in archeology and trying to get in to this field. All he needs now is the hat and the whip, Indian Jones styles. 

What did I miss in your lives? Looking forward to catching up on the blogosphere world this weekend!
