obsessed with hats

It probably started with the floppy hat I HAD TO HAVE for Hawaii. I couldn’t possibly lay on the beach without one, and I am pretty sure it was the first non-food item my guy bought for me after we got married.

Hats are the coolest. A big old hat makes you look mysterious and awesome, especially if it hides your face a bit. So much drama. I also love that during some eras, your outfit wasn’t complete without a matching hat. It was necessary.

I just started a hats pinterest board, and I love it. If you like big hats, you’ll probably like it too!

happiness and headbands

This guy makes me truly happy inside. You know what else makes me happy? This headband I made. Because my hair is always so big and puffy in this weather, and the headband really reins it in. And another thing that makes me happy? The boy that likes my big, fluffy hair.

I made the headband using this tutorial, and an old t-shirt. I am going to try another version this weekend.

I made just a couple key purchases for our honeymoon at the beach, and boy am I glad I did. I felt like a glowing newlywed who was spending the day lounging at the beach in style, and sometimes it just makes you feel even better to look the part. Before our trip, I really wanted a big floppy beach hat, and seriously, money well spent. It was one of the top 5 most awesome I have ever felt in my life. Here are some of my beach essentials:

Nice, breezy linen shirt for a cover-up
Colorful shorts
Sunglasses
Big beach hat
Tinted moisturizer with sunscreen (skincare is no joke)
Kindle (I usually like real books for the beach, but I needed to pack light)

I really want to wear my hat to work, so people don’t bug me as often. :)

These just look so girly and delicate. Maybe the balloons make me feel like I can’t attend a wedding party without one. Find them here.

too long?

I have always stayed away from long dresses, since I am super tiny, and I thought they would made me look even shorter. Is that even true? Anyway, I love how long dresses look so effortlessly cool and put together. I want a whole closet of them for summer.

countdown to the beach

We are getting super duper excited for our upcoming trip to Hawaii! After all the to-do lists and rushing around in the last couple weeks, I think we are both ready to have nothing on our agenda except to lay around. And I got it in my head that I need to have a beach hat, obviously. Or else how could I possible relax properly?

I think it is the colors that make me think these are happy places. There is a sort of mix-matchy color and pattern feel about them that reminds me of a warm, homemade quilt. (from here and here)

I love these dresses. The dresses just look like they are ready for a party. Especially the dresses with the umbrellas. Those dresses are about to get crazy. I am always drawn to the mix-and-match florals and colors.

Sometimes, I really think about cutting my hair. I have a long, thick, and wavy/curly mess of hair growing out of my head. I am going to keep my hair long at least until the wedding, but I can still dream of a cute, short cut.
