Hats Off For Spring

Bill Cunningham from the New York Times has done a wonderful piece on the Central Park Conservancy’s Spring luncheon where every woman wears a hat. Some are tasteful, lovely, and fashionable. And some are, well, check them out for yourself by clicking on photo:

BE MY VALENTINE?

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Yup, the sudden appearance of heart themed decorations in restaurants is not some new trend, it means the holiday synonymous with love is here.

Whether you love, hate, or politely ignore Valentine’s Day, odds are you will probably encounter some reminder of it today. So, as Madcapz gift to you, I’ve created a Valentine’s Day Survival Guide.

5 Ways to Enjoy Valentine’s Day- No Matter How You Feel About It

1. Wear your favorite woman’s baseball cap. If you like Valentine’s Day, it’s probably a pink one, so you can get in the spirit of the holiday.  If you hate Valentine’s Day, you can rebel against the holiday with your non-love related hat.  If you don’t care one way or the other, you can just be happy because you’re wearing your favorite woman’s fashion hat.

2. Call someone to tell them you love them.  This is a nice gesture, even if you can’t stand the holiday, and you’ll feel better after you talk to someone you care about.

3. Go for a walk, a run, a crawl, etc. Put on a Madcapz and take some time for yourself.  Exercise puts you in a better mood.

4. Eat some chocolate.  If you like Valentine’s Day, you can eat a heart shaped piece.  If you don’t like Valentine’s Day, eat some regular chocolate.  If you don’t like chocolate, there’s really nothing I can do for you.

5. Know its 24 hours long.  Really less, assuming you’re one of those people who sleeps. You can fit as much celebration as you want or as little into a day.  And remember that the people who care about you will still care about you after Valentine’s Day is over.  And 365 days of love is way better than 1.

How do you celebrate Valentine’s Day?  Anything I missed on my list?

BEAT BACK THE WINTER BLUES WITH MADCAPZ

Snow’s beautiful when it’s falling.  It’s fun the day after it falls, when it’s ideal for sledding, snow ball fights, and an excellent excuse to drink hot chocolate.

On the fourth day, not so much. It’s turned a weird sort of slush/ice hybrid, and is now a gray color that is not found in nature. 

Winter is kind of like that.  It’s nice in December, when there’s holiday excitement and hopes of a white Christmas.  It’s not too bad in January.  You spend the first half of the month recovering from December, and the second half of the month just kind of happens.

Then there’s February, where every day feels like a month.  I’m pretty sure it’s the shortest month of the year, because no one could stand another day of it.

So, if you, like me, are suffering from the winter blues, I have several solutions for you, to help you get through February, Madcapz style.

You can try to remember what you like about winter.  Put on a Snowflake Madcapz, and pretend that the hours you spent shoveling were secretly fun.  This woman’s baseball cap will remind you of the excitement of the initial snow fall. 

Or you could go the other way and try to imagine yourself into summer.  Grab your Ocean Madcapz and create a little beach in your living room.

Or if, all else fails, wear your Olive and Twist Madcapz martini hat, and remember that February is only 28 days (actual martini optional).

Are you struggling with winter blues or are you still enjoying it?  Were you affected by Nemo?

WATERMELON AND HEART SHAPED CHOCOLATE

One week till Valentine’s Day.

I’m going to give you the benefit of the doubt here, and assume that you pretty much have Valentine’s Day planned out.  Appropriate reservations have been made, large quantities of chocolate have been purchased, and cards have been thoughtfully written.

But maybe it feels like there is something missing?  Could that something be a woman’s baseball cap?

How about A Little Dot’ll Do Ya Madcapz?  This pink woman’s fashion hat is famous (it was featured in the October Issue of O Magazine), super cute (everyone love’s a watermelon pink hat), and, as all our Pink Madcapz are, an excellent Valentine’s Day Gift (a little bit fun and a little bit flirty).

Perfect for picnics, this pink woman’s baseball hat brings a little of that spring and summer time fun to the coldest days of winter.  A Little Dot’ll Do Ya Madcapz is for the woman who brings warmth to gray February days.  The woman who is always up for a walk around the park no matter the weather.  The woman who counts down the days till spring but still can enjoy the winter.

And really, anyone who likes watermelon. And I think that everyone likes watermelon.

Do you have your Valentine’s Day all planned out? Are you hoping for a particular Madcapz?

ACTUAL BOUQUETS ARE SO LAST YEAR

So it’s Valentine’s Day and you want to do something original. On perhaps the most cliché filled holiday, this is no easy task.  You want to do something clever, without completely mocking the whole thing.

You don’t want to give flowers, that’s too easy (I’m not against flowers.  I enjoy getting flowers, but we’re going for originality here).  Giving a bag of flour is a little too far on the mocking side (plus then the person has to deal with a bag of flour).  So might we suggest Pink Petals Madcapz.

This pink woman’s baseball cap is covered with pink rose petals.  It’s perfect for the flower lover, and is way more wearable then a bouquet.

All of the pink baseball caps and visors are perfect for Valentine’s Day, but Pink Petals Madcapz seems particularly fitting. This hat is perfect for the woman who longs for spring days spent in the garden or the park, who misses sun dresses all winter long, and who starts wearing sandals at the first hint of warm weather. And, of course, it’s perfect for anyone who likes rose petals.

As a Valentine’s Day gift, Pink Petals Madcapz is the perfect blend of sweetness, cleverness and originality. 

A little less than two weeks till Valentine’s Day, are you ready?  Do you like getting flowers on Valentine’s Day?
