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.

i love the julia hat, its so cute! 🙂
I like Sydney Diva hat.
The hat I’d like is the Julia because I love the polka dot chiffon scarf on it!
The Julia Hat is very lovely and just my style. Plus I like the Crocheted top on the Nina too.
I would choose the celeste hat because it is great looking, and provides a lot of shade.
Love the Frankie….so cool!
I like the Catalina Cowboy because of the artsy leather, colored internal drawstring with beads, and raffia trim.
I like the Gigi hat because it’s sexy but sophisticated.
I love the Petite Sydney. So bright and colorful! Perfect for a summer day
I would pick the Nina–I like it both because of the sun shading capabilities, but also the drawstring that can adjust the size to fit.
I like the Aqua Hat in TURQUOISE because it would look great with a few of my beach outfits.
My wife loves the design of the Catalina.
I love the Julia hat…so cute with the polka dotted trim around it! And the brim’s not too big, either! It looks sturdy, and cute enough to wear so many places!
I love their Stella hat in tan. I had a hard time choosing from all of the awesome hats, though! I picked the Stella because, like you, I need a very wide brim all the way around the hat. The style is so unique, too!
The ladies jackson to wear while kayaking
I like the Scrunchie. Would be fun to wear.
Thanks for the contest.
I like the Georgia hat, as well as many others. Thanks for the giveaway.
I love the Sierra. And Morgan. Hubby is a farmer and Byron would be nice for him.
I like the Frankie style, because it looks like the perfect addition to a summer outfit!
One hat I like is the Sierra in natural, it’s the perfect fashionable cowboy hat and my daughter would love it and be sun protected when riding her horse in Guatemala next summer.
