Why Did You Wear That: Mad Hatter

By admin|July 29th, 2014|Why Did You Wear That?|

Remember when every bro from every bridge or tunnel borough was seen sporting a fedora and clear sunglasses on any given Saturday or Sunday stumbling from a long fist pumping brunch at Bagatelle or Lavo? If you don’t, God bless you. You were spared. Needless to say, for a while, “fedora” had a bit of a negative connotation in my social circle, but fortunately for milliners in Manhattan and beyond, the fedora has been revived along with a few other favored head huggers. If you’re confused as to what to wear on your dome piece, here is a little guide to headwear. I haven’t included the beanie on this particular list as I don’t approve of ski gear midsummer. We’ll get there.

Setting the Mood: Hats Off

By admin|July 28th, 2014|Setting the Mood|

My mom looks fantastic in a hat. Any kind. You name it- from bonnet to bucket- she works the look. She probably should have been British or born in the mid 18th century. Fortunately for me, I inherited that trait along with her side stitch inducing humor (am I right?). In this sizzling summer heat, you may not intuitively reach for a hat, but they are one more step in the right direction towards sun damage defense (more on that here). In addition to shielding you from the sun’s UV rays, they also prove to be a fantastic way to hide a bad hair day (as witnessed here).(from top down): Rag & Bone Leather Trimmed Wool Felt Fedora, Karl Lagerfeld Number 7 Baseball Cap, Sensi Studio Adrian Toquilla Straw Panama Hat,Eugenia Kim Max Feather Trimmed Rabbit Felt Fedora

Setting the Mood: Musical Chairs

By Kirsten|April 7th, 2014|Setting the Mood|

In case your Instagram, Facebook or group chat has not yet been inundated with updates regarding the southern California music festival known as Coachella, brace yourselves… because from Thursday on, you will see nothing but one post after the next regarding this outdoor bohemian booze fest. While it seems feelings are mixed in my social circle, one Bullett writer has some pretty strong feelings about the festival and I can’t say I totally disagree. There’s a reason I’ve never actually accepted casual invitations to attend. I have a hard enough time watching panhandlers perform in an overcrowded subway car. Spending several days sweating in the desert with 90,000 other overly dehydrated, underdeodorized strangers is a variation of my own personal hell.

I’d need a heavy dosage of CBD oil for anxiety to keep my anxiety at bay, but if attending a more commercialized Woodstock is your cup of kombucha, you’re going to need to get music fest ready. The only thing more important than securing somewhere to shower other than the community bathrooms and scoring invites to all of the VIP pool parties is packing just the right pieces to have you looking carefree but not costumed.
