Hats Off to Fall.

There are few things that please me more than a Fall fashion magazine hot off the press. Nothing helps me beat the summer heat, in the midst of a humid hair nightmared August than seeing my favorite magazines arrive on the doorstep. One of the first delights to be received... Italian Vogue's Fashion Shows issue. The clothes! The hair! The HATS! Yes you heard me - hats were all over the runways in designers fall collections. Burberry Prorsum, Commes De Garcons, DVF, Armani, John Galliano, Junya Wantanabe, and some standouts from the master hatters at Dior, Louis Vuitton, and two personal favorites of mine Rochas and Lanvin.

Now sure, it can be hard to translate runway to ready to wear - but thats the point - lets take the runway to the streets! My grandmother was an avid collector of hats in her day, she had the perfect accompaniment to each and every outfit and the woman had STYLE. Even my mother, who's picture is included in this post and who's hat head i've blogged about previously worked her headwear hard. Fall is one of the greatest times for fashion. Take a page out of your favorite fashion mag and as you pile on the layers, top off your look with a gorgeous hat and take it to the streets. Hats off to fall!
