Steeplechase Hats. Where to Go.

I’ve been scouting out places to find the perfect Steeplechase hat or a last minute Derby hat if you are lucky enough to be heading to KY this weekend.  I have a range of $28- $378 here.  They are all great it’s just what you want.  Your outfit can truly come alive with a splurge purchase of a hat.  Sometimes you’ve spent so much on your dress, you really just need a cute hat that does the job and then you can take it to the poolside.  But, you do need at hat.  Have fun looking at the following hats from Jamie, Pastiche and AshBlue (who knew AshBlue sold hats???).  Store addresses can be found by clicking on the store name.  If you go in, remember to tell them you read about it here, at StyleBluePrint.

First stop: Jamie.  The place to go to drop some money on a hat that will make you hold your head high.  Wear it again to a summer mid-day wedding, graduation, or a outdoor luncheon.  Hats by  by KOKIN are scattered throughout the store and KOKIN is the hat to have…no matter where in this entire world you live.

At Jamie: a stunner sure to wow. by Kokin, $348

At Jamie: My favorite hat of the day. by Kokin $378

At Jamie: I swore off pink a few years ago just b/c it was Paris Hilton's favorite color. This hat makes me want to embrace it again. By Kokin $328

Pastiche has a delightful range of hats to fit anyone’s budget.  There were several gals hat shopping today while I was there.  With a price range of $28-$358, you will find something here.  The new location is next to Firefly and shares a building with Willow Pilates.  The windows are full of Steeplechase inspiration.

At Pastiche: I love how airy this hat is. By Almar; $125

At Pastiche: By Frank Olive, this classic hat is $298

At Pastiche: if color is your want, this is the store to hit. $28 and up

Lastly, I have some hats from AshBlue. I adore this store.  This is the best place to find that perfect unusual gift.  It also happens to carry San Diego Hat Co. hats which are my favorite pool side, ocean side, va-cay, sporting event hats!  I love these and most fold up for easy packing!  All these hats are very reasonably priced.  Wear one to Steeplechase and then put your ballcaps away and embrace your feminine side with one these on those bad hair days!

At Ash Blue: This hat is kinda Hippie girl meets Southern girl. I fell in love with it. They have ONE. San Diego Hat Co. $34

At Ash Blue: This hat is reversible (striped black and white on reverse side) and boasts an SPF 50. San Diego Hat Co.$45

At Ash Blue: pretty cute, huh? San Diego Hat Co. and just $32 with an SPF 50.

Happy Shopping!  Want another place to go?  Check out our post about Fabu right here.
