L.Atelier - Our Pop Up Shop in the Oracle Reading





A few weeks ago we were given the opportunity of opening a shop in a large shopping centre, The Oracle, in Reading, England. We are the first of it's kind.

Everyone who visits is amazed to find us in this situation. Normally only the large companies can afford to be in here. We have been given the opportunity of a life time.

Our hats have been selling slowly and photograph sessions are being booked. The general population of Reading are still unaware of our existence.

It is very interesting to see how shoppers act. Most just walk through not looking right or left, they know where they want to go and just walk there.

Shoppers also like to touch, they are not interested in the product but feel the need to touch, pick up throw the product down and walk away.

The name L'Atelier baffles most people, as a French word a many are unable pronounce it and don't have a clue what it means.

We are happy, customers are happy. What more do we need?

Wedding Style Guide: How to wear a hat to a wedding

Whether you are the mother of the bride or groom, the bride herself or just a guest wanting to make a statement, here is our guide to wearing hats to a wedding. The points listed below are just a guide, but ultimately we would always suggest you wear whatever you feel most comfortable in. 1. Hat etiquette/positioning Ladies hats are traditionally worn on the right as dictated by old etiquette where the lady would wear her hat on the right, while her gentleman partner would wear his sword to the left, balancing each other out. Of course nowadays hats can be worn on either side as we no longer follow this etiquette, but you will generally find any purchased hat will be made to be worn on the right or with the decoration on the right. If you would prefer a hat on the left this is perfectly acceptable and a milliner will happily make one for you. 2. Hat proportion The hat size should be in proportion with the wearer.
