Kentucky Derby Hats I Love

I love hats!  I really really do.  I know some people would never wear one, but I were one every chance I get.  I may look silly sometimes, but I just don't care.  I think they are such a fun addition to a cute outfit.

Also in NYC, my favorite black fedora

Straw fedora at pre-Jazzfest brunch at Commanders

Now you'd think with my combined love for sports, seersucker, day drinking, and hats I'd have made it to a Kentucky Derby by now.  Instead, I watch from home pondering what my hat will look like when I eventually get my chance to go.  Here's a few that I think I might use as inspiration...


My favorite celebrity look at the Derby - Jessica Simpson

Favorite fictional look at a horse race - Eliza Doolittle - hands down!

My favorite artistic approach to hat photography

Which is your favorite???

  2. Oh btw, since you're going to Paris soon: Paris has some amazing hats for ridiculously small prices! Try the department store Printemps or Galleries Lafayette!

  5. The purple one on top is fun! I like the Eliza Doolittle hat, although it looks a little heavy. You are lucky you can wear hats, they just don't look right on my noggin.

  6. Love your hats, AND you can get away with any bad hair day wearing a hat. :) My favorite of all of these is the orange hat and pink flower. Great post!

  7. What a fun post! "Sports, seersucker, day drinking, hats" - LOVE IT! :) You are too cute in your fedora, you wear that look so well. Same thing with the pageboy, just adorable! I am partial to the orange/pink hat (are you surprised?) but I think if I were really going to the Derby I'd fancy it up a bit and go a little more on the wild side. That little girl in her hat is TOO CUTE! xox Happy Derby weekend lady, I'm sending a toast to you and Mark from across the miles!!

  8. I love the yellow one that is supposed to look like a giant flower. I would probably only have enough nerve to wear the orange one with the pink flower.

  12. You look so cute in hats. I don't think I have the confidence to pull them off! Alissa used to wear hats when we went out on the town sometimes and she also pulled off the look just perfectly!

    I think I like jessica Simpson's hat best! I would love to attend the Kentucky Derby - or at least a party in honor of it!

  14. How in the world can we pick a favorite??? They're all so gorgeous!! Wouldn't it be fun to wear one of these all the time? To bad my work doesn't require it ;-) Great post girl, great post!

  15. I ADORE that red hat with the roses and I think my favorite line of all time is, "You'd think with my combined love or sports, seersucker, hates and daydrinking I'd love the Derby by now..." Hysterical!
