My new obsession... Wide Brim Hats!


We've all noticed the influence of celebrity fashion designer, Rachel Zoe (I may be her biggest fan!). She has been sporting and recommending wide brim hats this season and at first I didn't know if I agreed... At a glance the hats seemed a little dated and something my grandmother wore while tending to her garden. But after a little research online and trying a few on myself, I've not only found that they come in chic styles, shapes, and colors... they actually look great and serve a big purpose!
Wide brim hats complete a bohemian look when paired with one of this season's hottest items... the maxi dress! Add a layer of extra long chain necklaces, some chunky bangles, and a pair of gladiator sandals. Voila!
However, my favorite feature of this hat is the protection from the sun it lends to the precious skin on our faces and neckline, which tend to age faster than the rest of our body.
When shopping for this fabulous accessory, make sure the brim is extra wide and floppy to avoid the 'hat lady' look. Look for some with colorful bows, scarves, or raffia tied around them.

Check out a few options I found...
