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!

The Beauty Edit: Neck Creams

Nora Ephron was right: I feel bad about my neck. As I move through my forties, the creases have turned into chasms. The skin sags like a pair of sweatpants with aging elastic. It’s not great. But it’s just a natural part of getting older. Over the past year, it feels like I’ve tried every […]
