With the popularity of menswear-inspired looks this Fall, the fedora will again make a strong showing as one of the most stylish hats of the season.  If you are tired of the cheap fedoras that you’ve been collecting in your closet over the last few years and are ready to invest in a quality headpiece, I have found the perfect item for you.
I just discovered La Cerise Sur Le Chapeau, which means “the cherry on the hat” in French and is a cute little adaptation to “la cerise sur le gateau” or “the cherry on the cake.”  How clever for …read more

If you haven’t noticed while out at brunch recently, more and more chic ladies are opting for the fedora.
And why not? It’s a classic fashion staple and looks hot with virtually ANYTHING…except…perhaps, your hair.
Take this luscious Rosette Bow Cloche from Nordstrom for instance.
Many fedoras have a slightly manly vibe to them – this one is more girlie – but still, you need to show your feminine side by styling your hair beneath it. (Rather than hiding/piling your hair like a lot of women may decide to do.)
This is essential in looking like a sexy woman in a hat, and …read more

A lot of fedoras look the pretty similar these days, so it’s exciting to find a unique take on the traditional hat design. This is a striking black and white fedora from Armani Exchange. The unique x-pattern of the basketweave is created with a constrasting black and white straw. It has a black grosgrain ribbon band and black edge. I think this hat has a lot of style!

With the combination of light and dark colors, this is a great fedora for end of summer and transitioning into beginning of Fall. Since the …read more

I know that I’ve posted about a lot of straw fedoras this summer, but they really aren’t as easy to find as you might think…so I tend to want to share a find when I see a good one!  There is always such a huge selection of winter fedoras and it’s not as easy to find a light and breezy straw fedora that you can wear in the summer.
The fedora is a great hat because it falls in line with the menswear-inspired styles that we are seeing so much of lately.  We will be seeing many more fedoras and other …read more

Coach has a new line that debuted in July called Poppy.  Poppy is intended as a budget-friendly line for Coach, with prices staying just slightly below what most Coach products would cost.  The prices are barely lower, so I would say that the main difference between the two lines is the use of color.  Just like the name suggests, the collection is full of bold saturated colors like fuschia, turquoise, purple, and orange.
Poppy is designed for a younger crowd with rhinestone tiaras, shiny metallics, and tons of saturated colors on everything!  This collection is definitely not about subtlety.  Even though …read more

Last time I was in Hawaii I was looking everywhere for a casual straw fedora that I could wear on the beach and then wear while walking around town afterwards.  I love the floppy sun hat, but if you have a big one then it looks a little silly when you try to wear it to an after beach event.  The straw fedora is the perfect hat to wear over messy beach hair.  You can wear it to the beach and then pair it with a cute cover-up to go shopping or have dinner after your day at the beach.

As super sexy as she is, I usually am not impressed with Megan Fox’s sense of style.  Her clothes are usually a little too much trashy and not enough classy, but she is fairly new to the Hollywood scene so I will give her some time to catch up.  (We all remember how Nicole Richie dressed back when she was on the Simple Life…quite a change from the fashion icon she is now).
Lately I have been in approval of some of Megan Fox’s casual ensembles which usually consist of skinny jeans, a low-cut tank, a simple cardigan, a fedora, and …read more

Although historically associated with Orthodox Judaism or London in the 1900’s, today the trilby style hat is a very stylish accessory worn by both men and women.  The trilby hat looks similar to the fedora with a narrow brim and an indented crown, but the trilby has a slightly narrower flat brim.  Some could say that the trilby and fedora are interchangeable words for the exact same hat, but I’ve just discovered this new “trilby” and would like to try to make a distinction between the two!  The trilby is becoming more recognizable in pop culture as it’s been seen …read more
