kentucky derby

I am going to the Kentucky Derby for the first time!! What am I most excited about? The hats. One of the only times that you will be out of place if you are not wearing a hat. My first move after finding out I was going was to begin my search for the hat. I started looking through all my favorite online shops. I finally found my derby hat on Shopbop. Rag and bone comes to my rescue! I am digging the mixture of lavender, lime, and straw with the leather band.

embrace your inner mad hatter today.

johnny depp + the hat

Was he born wearing a hat? Every hat looks like it belongs on his head. His hats look to all be vintage. They are all very masculine hats typically with a wider brim and in neutral colors. I think that more guys should take style inspiration from Johnny Depp. His look is so effortless, grunge, and he shows his respect towards accessories. Johnny shows the world how easy it is to throw on a hat, and it completes the outfit. So guy buy a hat that makes you feel confident and comfortable as if you were born to be unified with this hat.

can we be best friends?

helen bonham carter. I want to be your best friend, and so does everyone else in the world. She is by far one of my favorite actresses, and she takes her style cues from no one but herself. I admire her self expression in her clothing choices. She is fearless and never shies away from an opportunity to wear a top hat.

my friday wants

Fridays have become dangerous days for me. I don't have classes on Friday, and I enter into this sort of euphoria just because of the fact that it is the weekend. Online shopping is put into full gear, and Paypal becomes my worst enemy. I usually come out alive though...so don't fret. Here are some of my hat finds from this morning:
