A good hat can hide soooo many things. Don’t feel like washing your hair today? Hat. Humidity causing a frizz fest? Hat. Sun beating down on your scalp and burning it? Hat. Worried about getting face wrinkles prematurely? Hat.
I’ve been a longtime fan of Brooklyn Hat Co. hats because they are simple and beautiful. This one is from their latest collection, and it’s a lovely woven piece with gold and silver rope detailing. I instantly liked this hat (they let me try out) because I could picture the possibilities: on the beach with my swimsuit, at the park on a hot summer day, laying by the pool reading a book, or even with a long maxi dress like this one. And the anti-wrinkle aspect of wearing hats is one of the main reasons I love them; it’s much less expensive to buy a quality hat like this one than pay to have a facelift later on.
This black maxi dress is one I actually bought a while back and haven’t worn. I got it from Forever21 for less than $30, and I loved the lace detail on the sleeves. A “little black dress” doesn’t have to be little. A maxi dress in black is just as beautiful.
Before I wrap things up, I have to tell you about my latest find. Bobbi Brown Art Stick Liquid Lipstick is the bees knees, you guys. It’s squeezable liquid lipstick! The coverage is semi-matte (meaning it has a little sheen to it,) and it’s creamy, moisturizing and lightweight. I know, I know…you hear semi-matte and think that it might wear off quickly. But it doesn’t! It’s long wear and doesn’t dry out your lips. They come in 16 shades and remind me of a box of crayon colors. I’m a HUGE fan of the pinky neutrals, which is basically what I wear every day. Naked Pink, English Rose, and Perfect Nude are now my new favorites. I can’t recommend these enough…I think you’ll love them as much as I do. (Side note: they cost $28, which is on par with the cost of most high-end lipsticks. You won’t need a ton of product with each use; a little swipe of color will go a looooong way.)
Last note: if you’re looking for a long, lariat necklace, mine is from Miriam Merenfeld Jewelry. Gold and gorgeous!
