I've been wanting a super cool 70s style hat for a while now, and finally at Anthropologie this weekend I was able to find the perfect one - a burgundy felt topper by Genie by Eugenia Kim (the offshoot line of chic NYC milliner Eugenia Kim) - and the second I placed it on my head I felt ten times cooler than I did pre-hat.
Fedoras and wide-brim hats (but not of the cheesy straw variety) have made a major comeback recently.
Wear them while reading Hemingway and sipping a cappuccino in the corner of a small cafe, or whenever you want to have a Serena van der Woodsen moment (and if you're anything like me, you strive for those moments always).
The right hat can make you feel like an out-and-about celebrity - I'm just doing my grocery shopping, trying to hide myself from the constant paparazzi with this chic hat - or a model out of a Free People catalogue. Take your pick.
A well-placed hat is an excellent solution for bad hair days or times when you don't have time to wash your hair in the morning. Use it to make a cool downtown-style outfit even cooler, or tone down a fancy frock with an askew hat.
No matter how you style it, the wide brim hat is the perfect winter accessory!

As previous posts suggest, I am a devoted Gossip Girl fan and have followed the past five seasons religiously. In honor of the show's recent 100th episode (my, how the years have flown) I've looked back at the show that I started watching in middle school and have picked my favorite looks from the show.

|
| Blair and Serena as best friends and lovely models in "Eleanor Waldorf" designs (actually Lorick) |
 |
| What uniforms? Jenny, Blair, and posse meet on the Steps of the Met before school in perfectly posh ensembles |
 |
| For season two the show went to the Hamptons, the summer playground of the Upper East Side, and both Blair and Serena look absolutely summer-ready |
 |
| Gossip Girl made me desperate for many prep school staples, including argyle, trench coats, and of course, headbands |
 |
| Blair and Serena- best friends in Ralph Lauren on Lily's third wedding day |
 |
| Jenny Humphrey was my favorite character in season one; I loved her Brooklyn cool-meets- UES prep style |
 |
| Gossip Girl in Paris allowed the show to tackle uncharted fashion territory |
 |
| I loved Serena's bad-girl-gone-good image in season one, including this vintage frock |
 |
| We gotta give it to the boys: They made girls everywhere wish their boyfriends wore more purple |
 |
| Gossip Girl's 80s flashback showed us a country club-filled side of the decade we rarely see |
 | |
| I was always a fan of Kati and Isobel's over-the-top matching get ups |
 |
| The Masked Ball has left me dreaming for a rockin' masquerade of my own |
 |
| Serena's first outfit on the show has stuck with us throughout the years as the epitome of style |
 |
| Perhaps my favorite outfit, this look features headbands, stripes, and a devious smirk - what more could you ask for on an episode of GG |
 |
| Blair in Chuck's scarf is like the UES equivalent to wearing your boyfriend's varsity jacket |
 |
| I like how Chuck and Blair match, even when they aren't together |
 |
| Elizabeth Hurley proved to be just as hot as the twenty-somethings on the show as the delightfully devious Diana Payne |
 |
| Serena as a fashion model made my day. Just look at her work the runway! |
 |
| Clemence Poesy as the sweet French girl who saved Chuck made me wish I had a French accent and a Chanel blazer |
 |
| Your prom dress will never be as good as Blair's |
 |
| Through all the wacky styles, through all the boyfriends and backstabbing and bitchiness, the best part of Gossip Girl is not the clothes but rather the lasting friendship between these two best friends. Here's to five more seasons of Blair and Serena, no matter what they wear! |
