COVETED: Grasping at straws

POSTED: Thursday, June 3, 2010, 7:45 PM

Collectors of pretty things, take note: Every week, we're rounding up a what's-what of what we [heart], culled from the scores of design blogs, artist sites and Etsy treasuries we stalk on the regular. There's a great line in Justin Bauer's lit column this week: After Memorial Day weekend, outlandish plotting and high page counts, like white shoes or straw hats, magically become appropriate. Hey, he's right — it's straw hat season! Breezy, stylish and shade-producing is a summer fashion trifecta if we ever saw one. Here are a handful of our favorites — it's a preppy party and you're invited.

Golden Straw Summer Fedora Sun Hat, The Millinery Shop, $120
BDG Striped Band Straw Fedora, Urban Outfitters, $28
Parisisal Straw Sun Hat, TRAMPMillinery, $110

Retro Sparrow Fascinator, Janine Basil, $28
Panama Hat, ASOS, $25.36
Straw Trilby Hat, J.Crew, $40
