At a recent fashion show in Lafayette models in swimsuits donned floppy hats with their bikinis for a look that was quite refined for swimwear. It was a great reminder of how a simple accessory can take a look from average to chic in an instant.
I headed home that evening to find my wide brim straw hat. To my dismay, it was as crumpled as it was last August when I unpacked it from a trip to Tahiti. I was sure that my sad, disfigured hat would have taken shape again after months on a shelf. I was wrong.
You can imagine my delight then when on a recent trip to La Mode Shoes, I learned of a travel proof hat. The Eric Javits hats (and handbags) are made of a material called Squishee, which is basically crush proof. And while these woven items have the essence of straw they are far more durable. If I can survive three connecting flights and 24 hours of travel time, I expect my hat to do the same.

Amanda the site looks great! Congrats on getting the first issue out. I'll have to be sure to grab one the next time I'm in Lafayette.
