beach hats

one of the best parts about summer is the beach.  and this past weekend, alanna generously invited me to her family's new house at the shore.  it was a beautiful weekend with lots of sun, and we assumed our position as sun-worshipping bathing beauties.  ...by the end of the first day my face was a variation of hot pink and deep red - ouch, sunburn!  the next day i saw a girl my age walking along the water with a really pretty and summery hat, and i immediately decided this was something i need.  i guess i always thought hats were for moms (or grandmoms), but, like i said, this girl was my age and her hat was adorbs.  so i took to the internet to see what styles were out there and if i could find something young, beachy, and even attractive to become my hat...

summer straw hat from j.crew
two-toned wide brim hat with bow from zara

overall, i was surprised at how much selection was available for beach style straw hats.  and for the most part, they're actually very affordable!  the styles above range from under $10 to $40, which means you can find a style to fit any budget.
