Tiny hats.

Wednesday, April 15, 2009


I'm prepping for my triumphant return to Nashville's notoriously awesome Steeplechase horse race early next month, and was thinking that — instead of the typical big, floppy, wide-brimmed hat — I might want to go with something small and quirky instead. You know, mix it up a bit.

Something like, say, the mini boater hat from Pixie Market, which I've been drooling over for some time. But at $48, it seemed an awful lot for a tiny straw hat that I'll probably wear a couple of times — no matter how insanely adorably cute it might be.

My budget-minded alternative: I ended up purchasing a doll's straw hat off of eBay. It hasn't arrived yet — my only concern was getting the right size — but I'm pretty excited. Plus: it was $4.50, including shipping. Which means I can put the other $43 into my Louboutin fund.

this sounds like a fantastic plan! the mini-hat look is so cute and as long as there's more money going toward the louboutins, that's all that matters!

A smaller hat will probably say more than a larger one anyway.

And great idea re: dolls hat. To be honest I wouldn't have thought of it. Wins all round.

Toy hats are my very favorite hats. I often look for vintage ones on eBay. The nice ones go quite high. I'll be very curious to see your doll's hat. Do post a picture. That's a very inspired idea!

Been a regular reader for a long time now...just finally posting. Love your blog.

Ah, Betsy, lover of totally impractical fashion. What I want to know is: HOW does such a tiny hat stay on one's head??? Or do you walk around all day permanently tipping your hat to everyone? I would love to see video of you wearing this hat when even a not-so-stiff breeze comes along! =)

never fear, miss mary-kate! i am contemplating not one but two possible attachment options. #1: a comb or large barrette on the underside of the hat. #2: a thin elastic head-strap (which is what the hat above has) that will keep it secure. stay tuned!

Sadly, I can not pull off hats in general, let alone mini hats. That being said, it's a really cute trend and I like the idea of wearing a mini hat instead of a wide-brimmed one. I was at Forever 21 recently and saw that they were being sold and with feathers! Post pictures the day that you sport this cute hat please!

I have played this MIR2 game for many years old and now my big feeling is that if you wan to play online game you must have much money to buy MIR2 gold first, so that you can play happily and find that it is more interesting to buy cheap MIR2 gold than playing without more virtual currency. In MIR2 game, if you have more necessary MIR2 gold so you can buy many equipment and weapons which you want to have. Now here, I write down my experience of making MIR2 money to share everyone who also likes playing this game.
This Luna game with luna online gold is a colorful one, the graphics could seem a little childish, but do not be mistaken, the game use luna gold to play LUNA Online is advanced as a lot of new MMORPGs that you can find out where can make more luna money. Something I did not like in this game was the movement, the character moves slow and you need to buy luna gold to go through long distances sometimes, making you buy a lot of luna online money to change the Teleport scrolls just to go to the cities.

Im 18 years old and as a struggling student who enjoys racing UGG Boots ultra short Le its becoming extremely expensive and harder to attend and enjoy a days racing. Sure a student with a part time UGGS upside job would have to save for a few weeks to consider attending a raceday as expensive as this. I see that Fairyhouse are racing on the 19th of this month and are charging UGGS whitely boots 5e entry fee. Its up to other tracks to follow suit and use some initiative to offer better value to the normal racegoer….Pretty good air jordan post. I just found your site and wanted to say that I have really enjoyed browsing your Bailey Button UGG Boots posts. In any case I’ll be subscribing to your blog and I hope you nike sb post again soon!
