bows + trains + cowgirls


as summer nears, i become more and more OCD about sunscreen, umbrellas and HATS! last summer i squashed my favorite wide-brimmed hat from urban outfitters [yes, i accidentally sat on it. lol] ... and have been devastated ever since!

today ross accompanied me to the zoo [that is, the mall] to select this summer's hat. this is no small feat. considering my gigantic proportions [5'10" with an abnormally large head] it's nearly impossible to find hats that fit! after some serious searching and 4,389 hats later... we found this black gem from forever 21! hopefully i won't sit on this one...







the outfit details
forever 21 black buckled floppy hat
zara floral + bow top
zara jean cutoffs
vintage cowboy boots

happy memorial day weekend to all my american readers! anyone going away for the holiday weekend?? 

xoxo, blair.

  2. OMG!!! I swear your outfits are just getting better and better. Not to say previous looks were bad (because they aren't!), but I am in LOVE with this look!! The floppy hat, the strapless top, and the boyfriend shorts. It's the epitome of my summer outfit. LOL. These photos look magical. I love the haziness and that hat looks marvelous on you! And I feel your pain on the squashed hats. I had to get a new straw fedora because my one from H&M got crunched when we went on vacation from being packed in my suitcase. :( Hope you have a great weekend! <3
