Hats to Go


A hat is a powerful thing. Possessing the power to transform an outfit from simple to elegant, hats create mystery and intrigue. But a good hat does much more than make a woman look like she leads a fascinating life - a hat shields our delicate skin from the sun. If any of you have had a scare with skin cancer, you know how increasingly important this is, and that sometimes sunscreen is not enough.

Finding a great hat that you can stash in your pool bag, keep in the car for soccer games or pack in your suitcase for your next vacation can be a challenge. This Ribbon Roller Hat from the Proper Topper is just $34 and rolls up compactly to stash in your glove box or your tote bag.

If you're looking for a straw hat that can top your look off with some color, these packable straw hats with a 3" brim are just the thing! At $39.50 you get an adjustable and chic hat crafted from durable poly-straw. Top it off with a flower pin and you'll look lovely!

I really like the idea of that packable straw hat . . . do you know of anyone that sells them in the Raleigh, NC area?

Hi sueleigh,
I would try Beleza in Cameron Village. I know she has some great hats and think she carries crushable ones. Also, try Galatea at Seaboard Station. They always stock a ton of fab hats for the summer. Nordstrom at Southpoint carries Helen Kaminski's rollable straws. If you find a good one be sure to let us know!
