Fashion for Your Skin!
The Chief Blonde was sent several great hats to review from Wallaroo, here she is wearing the Wallaroo Nina ($52). She is also wearing Nine West Golan Espedrilles (old, similar), Endless Rose Varsity Sweater (sold out, ), and Memory Necklace. Lipstick: Bare Minerals Marvelous Moxie Lipstick in “Call the Shots” ($18).
My entire life I have had to wear hats. I have very fair skin and a hat is not an option, it’s a must. My first job was working at a U-pick Strawberry farm and all day was spent in the sun directing pickers in the strawberry fields. We were relegated to wearing the farm’s baseball hats, so the U-pickers could easily spot us in the field. Let me tell you, for my fair skin, the small brim of a ball cap was NOT adequate.
When I choose hats these days, I most often gravitate to one with a wide brim like this Wallaroo Nina. The 4 1/2″ brim protects both my face and neck from the sun and I certainly look and feel fashionably wearing it. What I love is that there is an internal drawstring that I can adjust ensure the hat fits. This hat is made from Raffia which I always find to be the coolest material for hats, plus it has this fabulous crochet weave that makes very unique from any other wide brim hat I own.
I appreciate year round sun protection that looks as good from the front as it does from the back.
Wallaroo Tahiti

I love the Victoria Two-Toned in LIME/TURQUOISE Color because it is bright & cheerful looking!
I really like and NEED VISOR type hats in lots of colors ~ so I’m really drawn to the AQUA VISOR ~ especially in Turquoise, Red, Hot Pink, Hydranga and Mocha. The Naples in Orange is very nice too.
I love the brown Catalina hat I would wear it out all the time. Having had cancer removed from my face and the left temple I wear sun glasses and hats all the time when going out its so important to shade your head and face.
The Nina or the Catalina Cowboy would be my choice, since they both have a nice unique look.
I like the Tahiti…it is tooooooooooooooooooo cute and would be great to wear on a cruise or vacation.
Who knew..I’m not a big hat person but the Naomi is so beautiful I might not take it off and the Sierra would be great with a cute pair of jeans! I’m really excited about this website and I have to have something!
I love the Julia hat, the polka dot chiffon scarf is beautiful and it is great for the summer/spring.
i would love to purchase the Lorikeet in pink polka dots for my baby niece she would look so gorgeous in this
One of the hats I like it the Naomi hat. I love the color. And I have some flats that would go with it.
I love the Natural/Gold Stella hat, it’s classy and the colors really suit me~
I’d love to win the Celeste hat! It’s so beautiful and chic! Thanks for giving me the opportunity to win!
I would pick Gigi as one of my hats because i love fedoras.
i like the Catalina Cowboy. I guess cuz it would suit me better than the rest.
I really like the sierra, it would be perfect (I think) to wear with so many outfits while keeping the sun off your head!
I like the aqua hat because it’s a beautiful color!
I like the Aqua visor for playing golf!
I adore the Ellie hat,
Nina hat because where I live it gets very hot and this would protect my skin.
I like the Julia, it would look great with a summer dress.
