St. Patrick's Day Fun

 This might be The United States rather than Ireland, but St. Patrick's Day is still a day to wear your green and celebrate with friends, shamrocks, and green drinks!

Read on for a little history on this fun day and to see how the Hat Girls celebrate!

The Hat Girls on St. Paddy's Day 2022

The tradition started in Ireland and the green is a nod to the rolling green hills of the country known as the Emerald Isle.  Here in the states, the Hat Girls have celebrated many St. Patrick's Day's together and we are always in our green!  Did you know that the reason wear green is so that leprechauns can't see you?  Such a fun tradition of avoiding the pinches of the mischevious little guys!  While the day is tradionally meant to celebrate Saint Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, it has become a day the is commemorated with parades, festivals, irish music, a fun nightlife scene, and of course friends!

One of our most memorable St. Patrick's Days together was spent in Chino with the Chino Valley Fire Department.  The department hosted an event with music, food, and  a lot of fun.  Everyone got to enjoy some traditional Irish food, green drinks, and live music by a famous Irish band as well as the bagpipe crew of the Inland Empire.  We danced a few jigs with our friends and had a blast.

We have also spent years at our local "Irish Pub" in Carslbad with friends  and family enjoying all the festivities.  From green drinks to Irish nachos, Hennesy's provides all the fun you want on St. Patrick's Day!  This year, they had the Riverside Fire Pipe and Drums play to end the evening.  It was amazing and we all had a great time.

The Hat Girls also designed a few special hats for St. Patrick's Day this year.  If you saw us out on March 17th, you saw which style each girl chose to wear for the occasion!  Check our our Instagram page or our Etsy site to order your hat for next year.

Meet the Gals Behind Rae and Marie

Hey everyone!  We want to take a moment to introduce ourselves so you can get to know the girls behind the hats.  We are Amanda (Rae) and Lynn (Marie).  Clearly, the name of the company comes from our middle names.  We both live in North County San Diego where we were born and raised.  We have been friends for over twenty years and have been known to show up twinning on accident on way too many occasions.  We both love to travel and we do so frequently and often times together.  It is rare that you see either of us without a hat on. We LOVE a good hat and always come back to a faithful trucker hat to top off an outfit.  Our company was born out of our love to match, to add some sparkle to all our outfits, and to use our creativity.  We love making these fun hats and hope that they bring you joy!  Check out our Instagram to see our collections.  We would love a follow.  Cheers!

The Hat Girls are Charger Fans

In honor of Super Bowl weekend, we are sharing our story about our love of football...mainly the Chargers! Well, the truth is, Lynn loves the Chargers and Amanda just kind of tolerates that we have to watch football for a few months a year.  Lynn was born into a Charger family.  In fact, she often says that she bleeds blue and gold.  Games, tailgates, and bolt gear have been a tradition since as long as she can remember.  Amanda married into a Chargers family.  While she doesn't know the difference between a tight end and a quarerback, you will always see her rocking the best in Bolt apparel!  HA HA! We both spent many Sundays at Qualcomm stadium in San Diego as season ticket holders over the years.  We have traveled to away games, cheered loudly from many stands, and shared in the joy of some wins and the heartbreak of many losses.  Over the years, the Chargers became a way of life for both of us and a fun way to spend time together. When the tea...
