The Beret-volution will be Photographed

"She wore a raspberry beret/ The kind you find in a second hand store/Raspberry beret/ And if it was warm she wouldnt wear much more/ Raspberry beret/I think I love her." Prince, 'Raspberry Beret.'

Hey guys,
So I said in an earlier post that I would be the first to join the beret-volution. I could've sworn that French inspired beret's were slowly making a comeback, but I didn't have concrete proof of my hypothesis, save for a picture of this lady...

And seeing mad old heads sport them on the train.
I finally found examples of this cold weather trend starting to take root in the tents...



And now it seems that Fall 2007 collections are feeling le beret as well:


DKNY


Sass & Bide
So, you heard it here. Run out and get your beret for $10 from the guy selling hats on the street...before they start selling them for $225 at Saks.
Smootches!

"Ha! I've got your hat! Take that, Hatless! Now go back to the quad and resume your hacky-sack tournee!"--Stewie Griffin of the Family Guy

Sometimes, ladies, you don't feel like doing your hair. Sometimes, just sometimes, the thought of curling, braiding, dying, or frying just doesn't appeal.

So you reach for a hat.

But a fashionable lady can't grab just any old hat off the rack.
Baseball caps....

...are better suited for guys or pre-adolescent girls.

Scullies...

...might make you look dated.

And the full on white fur...

...just looks crazy.

I personally think menswear inspired hats a la Marlene Dietrich...


...are super stylish and sexy.
For modern examples, look no further than the most fashionable celebrities.
Kelly Rowland...

and Mary J...

...beautifully update the look with sharp fedoras.

Halle Berry joins the fray...

with a dark page boy.

And the ever fabulous J. Lo....

...looks hot in a chic bowler.

I personally like this Burberry Driver's Cap...

...at Saks for $160.

And this Eugenia Kim equestrian cap...

...at Shopbop for $165.

When looking for hats, stick to tame, neutral colors or patterns in a smooth wool.
Off to find a topper!

Smootches!
