Major Mad Hatter

Nov 23, 2010

Tomorrow, the high temperature in my hometown is going to be -2 degrees.  It’s moments like this when I wish that I’d bought a ticket to Miami instead of traveling to the Wild West.  The warmth of hearth and home is decidedly less attractive when you have to wear long underwear just to go get the mail.  

This is why, as you read this, I am on my way to buy gloves, a scarf and a hat.  Sadly, none of the hats at the general store will be as major as these ones.

1.  Aqua Jewel Cloche (Bloomingdale’s, $45)

2.  Finely Feathered Cloche (Anthropologie, $48)

3.  Bow Beret (Top Shop, $16)

4.  Faux Fur Knit Hat (Forever21, $13)

5.  See by Chloe Faux fur Cossack Hat (Outnet, $48)

    Now I have to get a cloche. Dammit.

    I also love the berry pink knit hat that Hermoine wears in the latest Harry Potter….I wonder if it's Burberry?

  3. KLo says:

    I adore my cloche. I wonder if I can find a pin with fantastic feathers …

  4. Stephanie says:

    KLo, I would check on Etsy! I'm sure there are tons.

  5. Rachel says:

    KLo,

    https://www.etsy.com/shop/hideyourfeathers

    She can make anything with feathers and takes custom orders.

    I like styles 1 & 2 because you can get your hair into them so it won't get flattened down so bad.

    Ooh thanks for the ideas to dress up my Chloe – it has this awful felt flower that belongs on a 6-year old's backpack!

Happy Hour: Atlantic Beach Pie

There are two kinds of people in this world: People who eat cake on their birthdays and people who don’t.  And some of the weirdos in the latter category (I said what I said) eat pie as an alternative.  So if you’re a “birthday pie” eater with a late summer celebration coming up, may I […]

The Find: The Only Wire-Free Bra That Didn’t Fail Me

After Sloane was born, I developed a seething hatred for underwire bras.  The trouble was that I had also developed a larger, slightly droopier bust.  It was a cruel irony.

The 2010s Trends I’m Loving and Leaving Behind

Our tween and teen nieces spent the first half of 2023 reviving our high school fashions.  From peasant tops to low rises, I felt like I was back bopping to N’SYNC in my mint-green sedan for a minute.  Now, our 20-something direct reports are bringing back the 2010s in a big way, and I am […]
