Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year!

As you may have noticed, we've been somewhat lacking in updates over the holidays, but our downfalls in updates, we've made up in awesome fashion finds.

Over the break, we've been gifting and getting tons of new and vintage clothing and accessories and in the process have discovered some new shops we'd like to introduce you to!

It's really hard to for us to choose what to post first, but I guess we'll start with some cute handmade pillbox hats!

I found these for myself while I was trying to Christmas shop for my family. Ophelie Hat have a lot of very cute designs, everything from berets, to fedoras to feather hair pieces. TO top it all off, the designer was super nice, and helped me find hats that look great on me. (After pulling out big, black garbage bags just full of handmade hats!)

If you'd like to see some more of her work, you can check out her website here: http://www.opheliehats.com/ though I've found she has so much more in person, so if you can make it out to a show, it would definitely be worth it.

I found Ophelie at the Toronto One of a Kind craft and design show. I've gone every year for the past few years and it seems to just get better and better. If you're ever in TO, it's well worth the money to see the show, even if you just head to the food section and eat free samples all day ;) http://www.oneofakindshow.com/xmas10/


This hat design I liked so much, I couldn't decide between two colours... so I bought them both :D

The exaggerated leaves in the design really frame the eye, and make for a really striking piece.

Ever since I bought that red vintage hat, I've been on a bit of a hat rampage, and these hats really solidified my obsession. Along with these hats, you'll be seeing some others in the next month, as well as some cute vintage clutches, hounds tooth galore (another new obsession of mine) and some new and old jewelry.

From the Caitlins, we hope that you had some fantastic holidays and that your new year brings you fabulous clothes!

Vintage Find of the Day

Public Butter at Queen Street West  and Gwynne Avenue has an absolutely fabulous sale on, 50% off everything in the store! Everyone should come and check out this unique Parkdale vintage clothing and furniture store.
This purse was a perfect find. It is just small enough to be comfortable to carry around, just big enough to fit almost everything you need in it and has just the right amount of detail to be so completely adorable.
