summer essentials: HATS

Next up on my list of must-have for summer: the perfect hat! 

My brother always tells me that I'm not a hat person, but I refuse to believe him. Mostly because I'm constantly looking for the perfect hat. 

Hats not only protect you from the sun, but also from the disaster of a bad hair day. 

So, continuing in my never-ending search I have found the cutest possible hats I could find that I believe look good on almost anybody. 

These are a few of my favorite hat styles for the summer: 

{Panama}

A wide-brimmed fedora, this hat dresses up any casual summer outfit.

^^LOVE her website!

{Floppy}

Always a southern staple. Perfect for the beach or a low country boil!

{Headband/Headwrap}

I know this technically isn't a hat but whatever. It still goes on your head, right?

Of  course if you're like me, you'll usually go for the ol' baseball cap to cover up the mane. 

Which hat will you be rocking this summer?

Thanks for checkin' out this post! Stay on the lookout for the next item on the essentials list coming later on this week. 

Love ya'll.

summer essentials: SUNNIES

Everyone needs a good pair of sunglasses (or numerous pairs that are continuously lost & replaces). The trick is not only finding ones that fit your face, but also make you feel good. 

"With my sunglasses on, I'm Jack Nicholson. Without them, I'm fat and 60."

^^ I can totally relate, Jack. 

I always go with the most hipster-looking ones I can find just because I can. And because honestly they make me feel invincible. Weird, I know. 

 here are some of my favorite frames: 

{the classic aviators}

AND they can be unisex

 can you say HAY ZAC EFRON

{the cateye}

 

meow. 

{the wayfarer}

also unisex: 

hottie rob.

{round}

I'm a sucker for these. So hippie chic. 

ughh. so perf. 

These are my own favorites that I got from Target. Love them! 

Now go out, buy yourself a new pair of sunnies, and conquer the world.
