Ophelie Hats

I discovered this avant-garde milliner and head accessories designer at the NY accessories show last month. Ophelie Hats are designed and handmade in a Montreal atelier and presented in shows in New York, London and Paris. Their hats are distinctive and their head accessories are exquisite. Many a trendsetting bride have been photographed sporting one of their gorgeous head pieces.

some of my favorite blogs

I am not happy about what's happening with magazines...the good one's are disappearing. Have you noticed? Since I like to read just about everything - except for books (I know, not good and that's hard for me to even admit because I realize just how that sounds), I am really missin' the mags. Luckily I have a few blogs that I check in with every once in a while. Here is a list of some that I like:
