A Hat of Vintage Love

December 1, 2008

I love hats, and I have come up with quite a collection- my favorite being vintage ones. This one is a fun and classic sort of style in a soft shade of brown. A great color for almost any season, really- it works year round and is delightful to wear.

Spring and winter seem to be my favorite times to bring them out and wear them- fall is delightful, too- it just seems after the hot summer months I am not yet ready for them. But right now with the cool breeze outside- it is a lovely time for darling hats such as this one.

Overall this hat is round and simple, but then it has the bunched up collection of fur pieces all together on one side at an angle. It gives the hat a grander appearance and that delicate yet modern feel. All I need to really bring it up another notch would be to have a matching coat or shall- I am in search! I have some close looking items, especially in material and style, but not at all quite that color. Oh well, for now it is quite fun on its own!

    I love that you say that- and thank you! I feel the accessories of the 1920s and 1930s are making a come back, or at least I know I will be making one with them!

    I think it will happen, though.

    I came across your blog after doing a google search
    for Cafe Bustelo – I was trying to find the original
    logo as I remembered it. It’s fantastic that having experienced
    many great and fine things you can appreciate a simple
    delight. Please take it as a compliment that you are beautiful and truly elegant. I wish you continued success and many more
    wonderful finds. Thank you.

    Oh wow- how wonderful, and thank you! It means a lot to me :)

    I adore cafe bustelo- still find the little cups in various places of my home. I always think of the heart, but would be incredibly curious to see if you find the logo you are thinking of.

    Please let me know when you do! I would love to see it.
