Today’s a day when I do not spend a lick of time worrying about the heat or humidity or my hair because today is a big hat day.
It also happens to be Derby Day and there are far more important things to be tending to!

This quick post is about hats though and if you know me, you know I’m a hat kind of gal.
Peter Beaton Studio
My favorite style is a classic straw that I can dress up or dress down, depending on where I’m headed to.
That’s why I love hats from Peter Beaton Studio in Nantucket.

Every Peter Beaton signature hat comes with a complimentary hatbox as it should. Thank you P.B.!
I’ve written a few hat stories before in honor of summer & Derby season but today I wanted to include some real beauties.
This is my absolute fave for Derby!

Last year Garden & Gun hosted the 2011 Derby Breakfast at Farmington Plantation before heading to Churchill Downs.
The guests were classic, poised & confident and the hats were stunning!

You have excellent taste in hats Lisa! I would love to get my hands on a Peter Beaton hat. They have been a long time favourite. Do you know Helen Kaminski hats from Australia? I have seen them around the USA. Love what you have featured here. Ascot is coming up in London...a great hat watching event too. :)

Beautiful images - love the hats you've featured. Hope you enjoyed the Derby. I didn't get to wear my hat this year, since we had a party at home (too much running around), but I'm hoping next year to return to Churchill with a fabulous hat!
ReplyDeleteFabulous images! I ADORE hats - I rue the day that the last of my closest friends got married, as that was probably the last time I wore a hat purely for decorative purposes. In England weddings are ALL about the hat - lol! Paula x
ReplyDeleteThe first time I heard of Peter Beaton was through the old Victoria magazine over 15 years ago. Your hat choices are beautiful. Shiree'
