If you follow me on Instagram and Social Media then you have probably seen me wearing a gorgeous western/outback style hat all over the place. Every time I wear this hat I always get stopped by people complimenting it and asking where it is from.  

The answer is Tenth Street Hats, a start up e-commerce hat company that provide hats "made the old way and sold then new way. When Tenth Street Hats reached out to me and sent me the Dakota Hat designed by Scala I could not wait to wear it! 

Hats are probably one of my favorite accessories because it instantly adds oomph and character to any outfit. The right hat can transform a look and save you time if you are in a hurry and can't do your usual hair routine.

I debuted my Dakota hat designed by Scala to Kenzo's Spring/Summer Eyewear collection launch in February and felt so fabulous in it.  The hat is perfect for the city because it is water repellent and the 3 inch brim is wonderful for keeping the sprinkles and elements out of your eyes and face.

Recently I went to a weekend mountain getaway in upstate New York and I knew I had to bring my hat! It kept snow flurries and drizzle out of my face and it also provided shade and protection from the sun for my eyes. The wool felt was excellent for keeping my head warm as I stayed stylish for Après Ski.
