Sometimes I wonder at the fashion shows of haute couture. Well, everyone wonders at it - seriously, who would wear some of that? And aside from that, who would want to? See-through blouses and skirts made from plastic bags, it can boggle the mind.

And then I go and make mini clip-on hats that are a half-way between conventional fashion and haute couture (at least in my own mind) and I realize that I'm not really all that far off...

Maybe I should go to fashion school instead of art school? Oi vay.

I have often observed that putting extra time into a project pays off. Except when it's me. Haha.

However, I am starting to design a fantastically magical line of hats that are... SLIGHTLY taller. ;) To the point where clips are just not going to do the job anymore. Ah well. Headbands it is.

I'm actually very pleased with the result. I may do more of them tomorrow.

And I finally finished my easter chocolate today. I am quite sad.

Doing what I do, I have to be on top of photography - meaning, documenting each and every single hat I make. This can be a bit daunting, especially with the addition of the baby clips. They're so little and there are A LOT of them.

And today I had to retake pictures of every single one of my hats.

SO

Check back as I'll be uploading them to the different views!

Well, I've decided to start a shop blog! My name is Breena and I'll be your host for this wonderful wonderful ride of cute and fun.

I went into the old part of town today, where they have a ton of antique stores and boutiques that sell clothes for about a million dollars a pop. I love it and hate it there; it's a beautiful part of town and inspires me so much but everything (and I mean everything)is so expensive!

Anyway, I went into the hat store and got some great ideas. Also, I found a few vintage hats in the antique markets! Expect a few, vintage-inspired looks to pop up soon!
