Haturday!
Wear a fun hat all day, and support local restaurants, coffee shops and businesses in your headgear. Hate hats? Why not wear a different accessory to show that you love Stanford, and that you are up for a little bit of good-hearted fun. You could wear a scarf, a brooch or even a silk cravat. Lovely new winter beanies are available at Your Style Cupboards next door to Stanford Tourism. Snag yourself a hat or accessory from any Queen Victoria Street shop and share a photograph of yourself and your gang on Instagram #visitstanford #thinkstanford #capewhalecoast
