Review: Cappelli Straworld Pack-A-Hat!

Happy 4th of July weekend! I’m currently creating an extended post about my trip to Santa Barbara with my good friend, Angi, because it involves great company, great food and Martin Gore (there’s a bit of a preview in the collage below)! In the meantime, I got the chance to test drive a great hat from Cappelli Straworld called the Pack-A-Hat on the way back down from Santa Barbara, in Old Town Camarillo. We were at an outdoor café having brunch, so it was a perfect time to wear this multipurpose, portable hat. With the weather warming up significantly, I’m always looking for ways to minimize exposure to the sun while I’m out enjoying travelling with friends and family. The Pack-A-Hat is rated at a UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) of 50+ which gives me the confidence that I can get the appropriate protection. I also love the convenience of it folding into a cute little clutch that I can stow away in my tote bag!

And Everybody Wants a Hat

I love hats the way I love glasses: they are both fashionable and functional. So I was very happy when I was asked to review this Scala Collezione Rain Hat, because many of my own hats were not made for inclement San Diego weather, which is mostly in the form of rain. This cute “one-size-fits-all” hat is made of nylon with an adorable polka-dotted lining. It rained a couple of times this year so far, and I was glad to have this hat handy, especially now that I’m coloring my hair more regularly. It’s completely packable and comes in four colors (black, charcoal, khaki and I have on the wine). I’d say overall, this is the perfect little hat to keep any fashionista free from bad hair days during less than perfect weather. Cheers!

Our Dapper Little Gentleman

For Dominic’s picture with the Easter Bunny this year, I decided to style him in a newsie style, right down to the bow tie. I love that my son is up for anything when I dress him, but I guess it’s because he’s only five and wholeheartedly trusts me as his mother. My hope is that when he’s older, he can look back at these pictures and can appreciate that I was just trying to ensure he had an incredibly fun, yet stylish childhood.

Have a wonderful Easter weekend and happy Record Store Day Eve!
