GONE TO CAPRI...

After yesterday's post on packing for my trip, I promptly booked two nights in a sweet little hotel in Capri and spent a liiiiittle too much time doing some online shopping...

What do you think? I'm pretty sure I could wear this every day of my vacation and feel amazing (until I spill gelato all over that gorgeous white dress). The dress and hat would be fairly easy additions to the wardrobe. The Valentino tote and Antik Batik sandals? A bit of a splurge... but they could be necessary!

My Favorite Season...

Is hat season.

From the Dorthy Lee Fall collection.

I absolutely love hats. Especially in the fall.

And especially with shades of aubergine. (My new favorite word, aubergine. It sounds so much better than purple.)

Plus it's always so fabulously in style to have a quirky hat. Wouldn't you agree?

In fact if you have a photo of you in a favorite vintage hat, send it to me. Here's my vintage find from last winter in lovely shades of grey...

Me and Erin, out at my favorite neighborhood spot on Queen Anne. Not the best photo of it, but I couldn't even bring it home from Seattle (afraid it would get crushed!) so this will have to do. There is some sweet detail on the side that you can't see here, plus a vintage hat pin.

Anyone else? (Annie! I know you have some!!)
