Reiss Kenway Sun Hat.

I love hats! A lot of times I just try on various hats in stores without the intentions of buying them, but I love seeing hats on my head. I always say my head is too big for a lot of hats, so I'm very picky to owning hats.

As Summer approaches, I wanted to find a beautiful sun hat to wear to the various beach/river trips my friends and I have begun to plan out. Last weekend we spent a day at the beach and I hated being the only one without a hat! Not even for the looks, but that darn Texas sun is nothing to joke about!!

Next weekend, we are spending the weekend in a cabin on the Guadeloupe River and figured now would be the best of time to finally purchase a sun hat!

A few months ago I received a gift card from Reiss. The only problem with it, is that it's only good in store and the only U.S stores happen to be in New York, California, and Florida! And of course it's the one store I see the hat I loved and must have. This beautiful wide brim hat, named Kenway, comes in various colors, but I fell in love with the cappuccino one. It's has a brown, skinny leather trim with gold rings to enclose it. The best part of the Kenway hat at Reiss.. it comes in different sizes, so girls with big heads like me can wear wear it too!

Luckily for me, my sister lives in New York City and has agreed to pick up the hat for me and ship it back to me just in time to have before a weekend on the river with my friends!

I'm so excited to have found a perfect hat, I had to post about it being receiving it!

You can buy the Kenway hat along with other great accessories and clothes at Reiss Online!

Kathryn's Bridal Shower.

On Saturday, I hosted Kathryn’s bridal shower at her mom’s house. I drove myself insane planning this and hoping to make this perfect for her guest. I decided on a wine party and in my opinion it turned out pretty well! I waited for this day because I had bought an amazing dress for it, which is the reason for this post!

 

The wine boxes were provided by Katrina and were an amazing touch!! Everyone loved them.

 

I had these wine labels made off of Etsy, at the end of the party each guest took home a bottle of wine to remember the day!

The royal blue dress I wore was the ‘Lola’ found at Reiss, a London based clothing company. The clothes at Reiss are well tailored and sophisticated and just so beautifully made! I have a major girl crush on Kate Middleton. I love everything she wears and when her and Prince William met the President and first lady she wore the amazing ‘cousin’ of the dress I wore. I fell in love with it instantly and so did everyone else because after pictures emerged of her wearing it, the website crashed and the ‘Shola’ dressed became impossible to find. Reiss updated that dress with the Lola and I just had to have it.  Unfortunately, I got the dress 2 days before Kathryn’s shower and did not have enough time to get it altered, so the fit is off. And of course, Katie wore the dress so much better, but I’m so glad to have the similar one in my closet!
