THE MOD HATTER
Last summer in Positano I purchased a fabulous vintage-style hat (the same one you can see on my dresser here) thinking I'd get the opportunity to wear it once a summer, if that. But, then Anthropologie started carrying the same ones in colorful stripes. Soon came Marni's release of another vintage style - the beehive as I call it - for the summer. And, of course, Kate Spade joined in on the fun...
Which makes me think I may get more use out of mine than I thought! I just have to patiently wait for the sun to arrive. Perhaps I'll start doing a little retro style bikini shopping in the meantime. Do you have a favorite summer hat tucked away in your closet?

I'm more a fan of large summer hats that hide your eyes, the type that Samantha of Sex & the City wore on the beach in the movie. :-) But I love the pictures! Your hat would suit perfectly with a vintage type bikini. :-)
ReplyDeleteI have several vintage winter hats I love, but my only summer one is a giant straw one that isn't particularly special. It's a little beat up and hopefully with all these cute ones out now, soon to be replaced
ReplyDeletethe collage is amazing! I love the old pictures!

I never go to the beach without my oversized hat in J-lo style:) super for not getting too tanned (red:). Here in Sweden we await the sun as well! Xoxo Caroline
ReplyDeleteI saw that hat in Anthro and nearly bought it! It's so fabulously 60s mod. Hope you guys get some sun soon! :)

Hats are so classy. I really want to slip one on and head to a beach. These are so great. Thanks for finding them.
ReplyDeleteI always admire the beautiful vintage hats at my local antique shop. Maybe I will have to pick one up!

All of a sudden, my hats feel boring. I love the Marni hat! (Also wish I could duplicate the frayed vintage hat in the photograph next to it!)
