I found a funny little hat to match my coat, isn't it cute? Honestly I think it's a bit silly, but so are the best hats. It was a hit while shopping downtown today though, I had no problem getting attention, even with the holiday rush ;)
At one store in particular (can't say which, christmas presents!), a number of men left their counters to assist me with one small purchase, boys are so funny when a well dressed girl walks through the door!
My mother and I had lunch at Jakes, as a gift from my grandmother. It was a wonderful, cozy lunch, complete with dessert and tea. Afterward I just wanted to curl up next to the fireplace and take a nap, a sign of a really good lunch :)
Hope everyone is having a nice holiday season, I've still got some presents to make!

That hat is so unique and looks great with the outfit!!
Love your hair, super cute.
Also, completely agree about the guys coming to help out well dressed ladies! I was at the grocery store the other day and they were all so willing to help out.
Adore your hat as well, uber fabulous.
Hi there,
I was checking out your blog, and I like it, so I would love it if you visited my blog, and if you follow me, I will follow you...

I LOVE hats! A girl can't get enough I believe! And that is sweet and funny!
You are such an inspiration! Thanks!
I love how versatile your look is - you can go from adorable to flawlessly sophisticated with just the addition of an upswept hairdo and matching coat and hat. Just like magic!
Love your coat, too! It's funny how you get attention when dressed in vintage. I get called "Mrs." when dressed well, and of course it's okay, having been married for ages, but really not usual in this country!
Fab!
Silly hats are indeed the best hats! And it matches your coat so well. =D

Sounds like you had a lovely time christmas shopping, your outfit is absolutely beautiful!

I can picture those male clerks scrambling and tripping over each other to come to your assistance just like they do in all those romantic comedies. Your wardrobe is only part of the reason. The rest is on you because you possess the kind of beauty that stops traffic and breaks hearts. You are the quintessential "the girl can't help it" type of woman. That last photo seals the deal! Brilliant!
That hat is amazing- it looks like the lopped off top of a teddy bear's head (and I mean that sweet!) It looks so perfect with your coat.
I've noticed the same thing, when I'm all dolled up, I get some great service in stores!
Sounds like a perfect day.
LOVE it! Very perfect match with your coat! Just a fantastic holiday shopping ensemble!
that hat is so funny! it should be called derriere hat, love it!
I should note you look like you stepped out of a Toni Frissell photo circa 1939

It is kinda odd but really pretty and cute on you. Elegant lady!
You are a vision in browns and you look straight out of a 40s film! That looks like a great day; I need more shopping and lunch dates in my future.

Love the entire outfit! I love to wear things no-one else will and I have been told I look very good in anything I wear that is why I wear vintage I feel like a lady when I do!
Merry Christmas:)
Uh, it's adorable. That coat is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen! You're striking in the two of them. No wonder the boys were flocking to you!

I LOVE your hat!!! Did you buy it with the intention to wear it with the coat, or did you already have it and they just happened to happily match? Too cute!
They probably thought you are a movie star! ;O)
I want to know how you did your hair. :D
the hat is to die for! what shade lippy are you wearing? it looks fab on you. happy holidays!
You always look so natural in your photos, never out-of-place. Sometimes I forget that you still live in the modern world, and might be likely to get odd looks.
I have, once or twice, experienced better customers service due to a nicer outfit. But I probably don't dress up often enough. Maybe I should fix that... ^_^
You look amazing, and how great was it to find that hat?!?
I bet you stole a few hearts in that shop!
I love it! It's adorable. And your coat looks so cozy!

Ah that hat is too cute! Plus goes great with your gorge coat :)
Great outfit, perfect for shopping! haha so funny about the men scrambling to help you-so true! Men love a pretty dress!
You look just like Judy Garland here! Did you get a better shot of your top? It looks fab around the neck.
So cute, You look amazing!!
vintage look never let you down. .it look so simple but you can see the class on it. Great job:)
That coat and hat are absolutely the cutest things I´ve seen for a long time! And you look adorable!!! (as always!)
Chie mihara! The magic words. Lucky you, finding a pair at a garage sale. That would never happen to me. I have my eye on the most fab pair, but they are SO expensive. Happy whopping : )

Oh my gosh! you look like Ellen Drew in picture 4 on my post from my grandparents scrap book!!! If you have time you should look! You even have similar hats (and that hat looks like a one of a kind!)
Um how fab! I cant believe how well the hat and coat go together! Its a happy accident... I wish we had more of them!
Great style!

I agree with Sabrina O.--it's so feminine and THAT is exactly why the men were all flocking to your side. Men love ladies that look and act like, well, ladies. :)
Such a great outfit! You always have such lovely photos :)

The shoes, the shoes are my favourite piece!
merry christmas! you look adorable
Too cute! I'd love to see pictures of the dress you're wearing, though. It's looks really lovely.
That is the classiest vintage look I have seen in a long time. Men love true ladies, and you are one of them. No wonder they couldn't resist! I am in love with both the coat and the hat. Merry Christmas!
Is it weird to say I am in love with this outfit? I'm glad guys can realize a classic beauty!
Happy Holidays!
looking perfect as always - have a nice christmas cuttie!
Ooh what a wonderful coat!
Ahhh! I love everything you're wearing! That coat and hat is to die for...
Thanks for the inspiration!
Apothecary Inn, Thanks! I searched for a hat to match the fur on the collar, still searching for more though!
Miss Verginia, it's very simple, I should do a tutorial sometime! It's just making a curl, and pinning it on the inside, and spraying it with hairspray!
Billie, I think that was my Chanel, it's a discontinued shade, of course I adore it :(
Thanks Erin! I posted a shot of the dress on my facebook :)
Ah, Solanah!
The sight of your completely fantastic outfits was just what I needed right now.
I'm all alone in my apartment in wool socks and sloppy long johns, with a furious snowstorm outside. I'm re-decorating my kitchen but kind of lost my inspiration when the weather's so dull.
But, with a look on this quite amazing fur ensemble, the cute blue dress with the most wonderful hat, shoes and brosch in the post and underneath and yes, pretty much all your pictures, I feel fully inspired again!
I just wish I could wear nude stockings and open heels with my wintersuits, instead of the wool knee highs and flat, black leather ankle boots I have to wear...(even if the boots are original 40s.
I will most likely use some of your photos for an inspiration-post on my blog, hope that's ok!
Absolutely stunning - you are a gorgeous lady!
