Flowers for the Head

I have a problem.

Today my friend Ellen and I stopped by Anthropologie. I found a hat and a headband I was sure would look supremely unflattering on us. I put on the hat, she put on the headband, and . . . 

. . . they were not only flattering, but comfortable, cute, and suddenly exactly what we needed.

Both cost about $40 and were therefore out of the question. So out came the cell phone to snap a few pics to remember the headgear by before we had to leave it behind.

The problem? I love that hat, and I can't stop thinking about it. I want to have its babies. I'm going to attempt to make Ellen a similar headband, but I have no idea how to recreate the hat. 

To end this post on a less whiny note, I should mention that if you are less cheap than me, you should totally go for these. Ain't they jes' divine?

Oooh, Pretty!

Ahem. I want.

Cheap, Fabulous Winter Hats

As the days get colder and frost creeps across the window pane, I shiver and huddle close to the computer for warmth, studying glorious winter hats.

1. The right person could so pull this off, don't you think? I'm hoping it shows up on Facehunter or The Sartorialist, because with the right look, it would be fantastic. (Note: the hat is in the Dandy Dolls collection at Twelve by Twelve, but the website isn't working correctly)

2. I'm into fedoras right now, although I have yet to buy one, and I think this might be the prettiest one I've found so far. That deep, rich green is soft and glorious, and the bow is the perfect finishing touch.

3. Can you believe this is from Kmart? It looks exactly like a hat I tried on at H&M! The roaring '20s are showing up everywhere as of late, and this hat would be the perfect way to incorporate the trend into your winter wardrobe. Plus, it's only $5.99!

4. Another trend that I've seen everywhere this winter is grunge revival. I have to admit that I am a fan of plaid, at least when it's worn in a non-preppy way. This hat would make me feel a bit like a hunter (which is not good, in my book), but I also think it's awful cute.

I'm liking hats right now! Have you found any hats lately that make you want to dance?

Fancy Schmancy Cranium Warmers

As the cold weather comes closer and closer, I've been excitedly planning my winter/fall outerwear. Right now, I'm all about anything that will keep my head cozy and warm, while looking totally unique and stylish. Etsy, my friends, is the place to be. Check out what these shops have to offer our cranial areas (I actually listened in bio, har har):

I've actually been eyeing these sculptural lovelies for months. They are so gorgeous!

Pancho:


Loud and warm is how I like'em. This would look great with a t-shirt and/or bomber jacket.

Ladylike with a vintage flair? Yes, please!
And yes, the doll creeps me out too.

Go forth and warm your heads in the name of the Etsy Goddess!
