This comes at the exact right moment for me!! Been hunting for the right hats to protect my face from the sun as a person that never wears hats and it has been a struggle! Thank you 💖🌟

My mum has an amazing straw hat by Helen Kaminski that I have stolen so many times, so for my birthday a few years ago she got me a hat made by a local milliner — hoping to get a lot more wear out of it this year after travelling too much to bring it last year!

yes! i've been working on a big newsletter about baby clothing that I think will be ready to publish next week (full disclosure though -- it's going to be one of my paid posts this month given the amount of time / research that's gone into it) ❤️

I return to this post again and again. Do you or your mother think (from experience) that this hat brim can be revived?? https://www.therealreal.com/products/women/accessories/hats/janessa-leone-wide-brim-straw-hat-m8yei

Your mom is awesome. And full of knowledge. I especially love the insight about raffia. Great idea to share her wisdom, and thank you! I have a straw fedora I love from a men's hat shop in San Antonio, but haven't been able to find a wide brim that feels as cool. This is going to help a lot. XX

Your mom has such a wonderful hat collection! I've been looking for a straw hat for the summer, and this post has given me a lot of great ideas.

Love!! Oh my god your mom is so adorable- I love her comment about untying the straps on the Gucci hat when people speak because it’s a little hard to hear them. I could 💯% see my mom doing the same thing😂☺️

I love a good bun hat! Like a straw hat that doesn’t have a middle on top so that you can wear it with a messy bun!

I found a $120 Brixton straw hat at winners last week for $15! Schwiiiing!!

I’m 35 and only discovered straw hats last year (I was worried because I have a moon face😂) and now I am totally converted!

These tips were so great, thanks Mom!

(Also she looks so young!)

I was just browsing for these! My trusty REI one disappeared into river rapids last year. (Also, it’s spelled “brooch” rather than “broach,” which doesn’t make any sense, does it?)
