Hats Of All Shapes

By Jax




I saw this exact hat in a Brooklyn Boutique on Friday, and I ALMOST bought it, but I'm so glad I didn't, because that one was $36.00, and this is $16.00!


I also felt it was time to feature some non-wide brimmed hats.  The trend extends to all hats you know...

Gettin' Floppy

By Jax







In my on-going big hat phase, I keep on thinking: the bigger and floppier, the better!

Hats are also great for your non-shower day.  They hide a bad hair day!  They cover your hungover eyes!  The fact that they just happen to be in style makes them all the better for these activities.

Have you not yet invested in a wide brim hat?  Well what are you waiting for???

by Tess

Summer is coming and I couldn't be happier about it. Time for cute hats! An easy way to add a great accessory that is also functional!



Love this cute pink plaid hat... Pink and gray are great!

Price: $24.00

Well, maybe this one is not so functional but so cute! I've never seen a hat like this but I love it! Extra sunscreen if you're sporting this one- or stay in the shade and look cute.

FASHION DEAL DIVA: Hats Off


While I'm not normally one for hats, I AM on for purple.  It also went right back to freezing, so a hat continues to be an absolute necessity in the five boroughs (and I believe 3/4ths of the country????)

The original tie-flap around the crown of the head is like a refined trapper hat, a grown up version for those who don't want to look like everyone else.

FASHION DEAL DIVA: Guys Buys



It's so cold in New York I almost started crying on my 1.5 block walk to the subway.  Most of the south is covered in ice and snow.  I hear portions of the Midwest are below 0 today.  It's COLD!!!!

Such harsh conditions warrant the purchase of a good hat!  One that is, of course, stylish, but also warm and toasty, one that will hold the heat in!  This particular beanie hat not only has a great knit pattern, but will keep your ears safe from frigid temperatures!

Vintage Vixen: Jaunty Hats

I love Kate Middleton. Lately with all the media attention surrounding the engagement, I've been able to fully appreciate her style. Subsequently, I've become obsessed with hats! She does it all- big brims, small brims, berets- and my feature today: light, jaunty hats with feathers and netting, or small hats that don't have a brim at all, but they definitely add a dimension of class and style to any outfit. In one of every five photos of Miss Middleton she is wearing a cute hat, cocked to the side, looking so chic! Too few young women wear hats. Often we fear they might fall into the category of looking like a costume, so we veer away from all but the necessary and useful winter hat. I want to change that! We might not all be future princesses, but we can stand proud and enjoy wearing a fashionable hat! Kate, thank you for the inspiration.

How would you wear these styles?

FASHION DEAL DIVA: Bang Bang




















I just got bangs.

As any girl who has ever had bangs during the cold winter months knows, the only suitable hat for bangs is a beret. It's because it's the only hat that won't crush the bangs you just spent at least 10 minutes styling. The bangs that get ridiculously fickle when any pressure is applied to them {{cough cough other hats cough cough}}.

As you invest in multiple berets, make sure one of them is sparkly and fun! Sequins on a drab winter day add spice to any ensemble. not to mention that gold matches just about every coat color, so it will match all your outerwear!

FRUGAL FIANCÉE: Fascinating.


I just got back from a wedding in Dublin and the Irish and English ladies at this black tie event really knew how to rock a hair fascinator. If you're like me, after seeing Four Weddings and a Funeral you've been dying to have a place to wear such things.

If you're going to a wedding in the UK or Ireland, you have a great opportunity to fancy up your outfit with a fascinator and not stand out like a peacock.

VINTAGE VIXEN: Wool Felt Hats

Ladies,

Despite sitting here writing during a particularly paralyzing heat wave in Los Angeles, I continue to plan and strategize the perfect fall wardrobe. This week's feature: wide brim hats! The fedora and the floppy wide brim hat are having a moment in popular fashion, and are also widely available in the vintage market. Yay! Hats are definitely a personal thing- you have to figure out which style works best with your face shape, head size, and general style, but when you've found a great one- wow! Get ready to turn heads. Here are a few favorite finds this week:


FEELING LIKE 1932 IN MY1970s gray wool hat. Price: $12.00.



















Gray with a black ribbon can be easy-day to night- it is not too fancy and if you like denim or khaki, this hat will be a perfect topper.



Italian Made Vintage Fedora. Price: $28.00.
This hat looks great with this hair!! A style that could look masculine goes feminine in the right color and with the right hair- super sexy!
















Caramel Mocha - A Fabulous 1960s Ladies Wool Felt Hat with Feather Accent. Price: $13.00.















Camel wool is a great trend for capes, coats and hats this fall. The feathers and the ribbon make this one absolutely unique and necessary.



Vintage Navy Blue Hat. Price: $12.00.















I like the story behind this French hat. Click through to read details. Would be extra cool if you have a "C" as an initial! Navy goes with everything and is basically a neutral in my mind. Love this hat!


Liz Claiborne (Carmen Sandiego) Purple Wool Felt Hat. Price: $15.00.




















I loved playing Carmen Sandiego when I was a kid and always thought she was so cool. Now I can relive my childhood fantasy!! The color and shape of this hat are great. Very modern. Very now.


She's got Style - Vintage Wool Cloche. Price: $15.00.


















This cloche has a distinct vintage vibe that could be really charming with the right outfit!


Vintage GRASSY KNOLL Wool Brim Hat. Price: $43.00.



















I'm a sucker for a good green. The leather band and perfect condition make this worth the extra few bucks. I see this hat with gray or black or camel. Could be a very versatile winter staple! Your hair can stay snow-free without a hood!



Vintage Burgundy Wool Felt Hat by Lord and Taylor Made in Italy. Price: $29.00.















Italian made vintage wool hats by Lord and Taylor are sure to be a good investment. High quality and classic fashion is soooo worth the $29.00 this hat is listed at! I bet Lord and Taylor could be selling similar styles right now!!



Everyone can wear a hat. You just have to find the right one!


Till next time,
xoxo Vintage Vixen

Come Cloche(r) To Me





















Are you a hat person? I'm not. Most don't look good on me. But it doesn't mean I'm not a hat lover!!!

I just need to find the RIGHT hat. I need to be discerning. I need to examine and try on many hats until I have a winner. I sense that this cloche is a winner. The slightly modern take on this 20s favorite is perfect for this fall's below the knee skirts, 40's-esque masculine fashions and demure accessories.

A Tip Of My Hat To You




I'm feeling a hat craze coming on!

I am growing my hair out for locks of love, and I am slowly coming to grips with the realization that my hair is going to be very short when I cut it in September. How am I gonna get over the loss of my beautiful locks? Lots and lots of hats that I could never wear with my long hair!

This red is going to be all over everything for fall (mark my words!) It's just so vibrant and full of life, and it pairs well with the fashion of the time.

Let's also pause for a moment and say: wow, a hat this expensive looking and chic came from TARGET!!!

Made In The (Hat Induced) Shade




Over Memorial Day weekend, I had a friend mention to me that I am always talking on this blog about tanning, baking in the sun, etc. She pointed out that not every fashionista has the skin for such activites, and that some fashionistas need to keep their sensitive skin made in the shade.

The result of this conversation was a general consensus that I need to post for sun/beach hats! While big floppy hats can get mighty expenisve, this affordable and chic one from Target will prevent an immediate burn while keeping you cool and stylish.

Trapper Keeper




















It's cold.

REALLY COLD.

An unheard of level of cold and unpleasant.

I broke down and bought this trapper hat. And I LOVE IT!

It covers my ears, keeps my head warm, and for some inexplicable reason, it makes me look really hot.

I am very against real fur, so no worries here ladies...it's faux!
