If you haven't visited The Neat Sheet yet, you're missing out on Portland's best resource for deals, events, and trends around the city. If you happened to catch KOIN news yesterday, you would've heard about the Neat Sheet and a certain hat shop! Bonnet was also featured this week on The Neat Sheet's blog, here's what they had to say about the hat trend:

"Vintage-look hats: Spring’s popular straw fedora now translates to felt as the biggest hat trend for fall, followed closely by retro ’20s cloche styles, newsboy caps and big, floppy bohemian toppers. We have options galore this season when it comes to hat trends (basically, if your head is covered you’re in style.)"
