My View: Winter Hats

Winter is coming to an end! Finally! The past few months have been about hibernation and bundling up to go outside. I've been busy knitting warm hats or enjoying putting some vintage ones into rotation. This was a season where need overshadowed fashion, but hopefully we pulled off both! 

Here's a sampling of just a few of the hats from this Winter that were put to the test:

It was a sunny day, but freezing! Here I am sporting my Maple Leaf Turban. This hat is really warm, and with my Mother's brooch I could channel my Canadian ancestry to keep warm!  

 I bought this vintage 1960's fur hat in Memphis last Summer. I always find the best vintage winter wear in warm climates! I love this hat, it's very chic and stylish. I am actually looking forward to wearing this with a late Fall or early Spring ensemble. This hat is very warm but does not cover the ears which is crucial during freezing temps. 

This one I knitted up for my husband with the Peace Fleece I purchased in Maine last Fall. Blue is his color! If you're looking for a simple watch cap or Jacques Cousteau style pattern, this is the one. 

What was your "go to" hat this Winter to keep the chill away?

 All of these photos were first shown on my Instagram feed. If you want to keep the "insta" in Instagram follow me @bobbinbombshell.

My View: Memphis Vacation!

I'm back from my Summer vacation to Memphis!  My husband and I had so much fun spending time with family and learning the rich history of Memphis.  First, we flew into Memphis from New York and took off in our Fiat 500 rental to Giant City State Park, IL for a family reunion. My husband is from Illinois and this was a great retreat from the hustle and bustle of our lives in New York City. 

On the road....I can see for miles and miles...

Ahh nature! Here I am testing out my new Tres Noir sunglasses by the lake. 

After the reunion retreat, my husband and I drove back down south to Memphis. We did some vintage shopping at Flashback. One of the few vintage shops in town, and definitely worth a visit! I bought myself a new sun dress and a fur hat! 

Classic Mississippi paddle boat and a fun ride! 

We did the Sun Studio tour, the birthplace of rock 'n roll. Here I am in my Trashy Diva dress I got in New Orleans.

Where are you going on your summer vacation? 

On Vacation: Memphis Bound!

I'm off to Memphis for a little vacation time! Graceland here I come!
