I cried when I saw The James – and clicked to find it was gone! Monrowe NYC is a black-owned headwear company that makes The James and when I happened upon it in midnight blue I knew I had to have it….but no haps because it was ‘out of stock’. I kept searching the site and found a great runner-up in the Johnny – and this one comes in winter white, so just-in-time for fall to rock with all of my sweaters
I spent last week on a #roadtrip down the Pacific Coast Highway ~ I drove from San Fran to LA and stopped along the way at a few spots in Cambria and Santa Barbara. By the time I made it to LA and shopped on etsy, I found this GORG denim turban by Patricia Morales. My girlfriend convinced me to scoop it as it was perfect for my pool relaxation while in Santa Barbara (I stayed at the Kimpton Goodland).
After returning from some R&R in Cancun, I realized I am missing a key element in my beach vacay repertoire – stylish headwear! Yeah – I have the straw bendable fedora from Athleta but when you are moving between the beach and pool, and evenings out you’re going to want more options. Here are a few more selections I saw flapping around in the pool and, needless to say, I’ve added a baseball cap and headband to my mix! My choices
There are lots of options but I’m partial to the fedora. This one by J.Crew comes in white, natural and navy blue. As you look forward to your vacation, aren’t you thinking of a beach and sand? At least some sun, right? After this winter and spring? Be smart and protect your greatest asset – your face! You can choose a floppy hat, fedora or baseball hat – I choose fedora because it’s the best of both worlds….protection and style.
Gents- there are only four ways to keep your head warm for winter. We’ve chosen the best options whether you’re heading to the mountain for a weekend retreat, running to the metro to head to work, jumping in your car to scoop your ‘lovely’ for a night on the town, or in need of a weekend drink with the fellas. You can’t escape the cold (ahem…the polar vortex) so just look good while you’re in it. Chose one or some!
Kentucky Derby is this weekend along with Mother’s Day, and neither occasion would be complete without a fabulous hat! Here are a few of our favorite sites to indulge your heady whimsy…. or simply to get a bit of inspiration: Leah C Pinkham Millinery Granville Millinery Louise Green
