Helen Kaminski Tigra


Posted by: Nora

Packable Hats

The holidays are the season for travel and I'm always in need of tips to make it easier and faster. I'm guilty of procrastinating when it comes to packing- which always leads to last minute scrambling and no time for primping. We all know that days no make up and undone hair means it's a hat day!

But a baseball cap is not your only option. There are many stylish, lightweight and packable hats that are perfect for travelling.

Helen Kaminski Tigra is a beautiful, soft warm cloche in Italian wool. With a rounded crown and medium sized brim, Helen Kaminski Tigra is easy to wear and flattering on most- this Fall hat also has a cute flower applique on one side.

Helen Kaminski Tigra is also a great hat to travel or commute in. It rolls up to pack, and is small enough to roll up into your pocket or handbag when not in use. So remember, even if you're wearing a hat to mask a bad hair day, there's no need to resort to a cap. A hat can pull together an outfit, and a casual cloche like Tigra, or even a wool newsboy cap can keep you looking chic even through hectic holiday travel.

Eric Javits Shenia Fedora


Posted by: Nora

Winter 2008 Menswear Trend

How is your holiday shopping coming along? I'm embarassed to admit that the only thing that is progressing is my own "wishlist." It's quite long- so I won't bore you with the details...but topping the list are a gorgeous pair of suede and leather oxford pumps. I love the menswear trend that I've been seeing everywhere this season!

As I've mentioned- a great way to indulge in a trend is through accessories. It's much easier to incorporate a pair of oxford shoes, or a fedora into your wardrobe, than it is to wear a tuxedo jacket! Eric Javits makes a beautiful and functional fedora that will both fashionable and warm this Winter.

Eric Javits Shenia Fedora is a classic fedora style hat in a nice lightweight Shenia material, offering great comfort and style. Shenia Fedora has a soft leather band with buckle accent giving the Shenia Fedora a very classic fedora look in a very updated fabric. The Shenia Fedora is perfect for everyday use this season offering lightweight protection from the cold harsh weather of this season. And as "in" style as a Fedora is for winter, the greatest thing about this style hat, is that it is actually quite timeless and classic. A well-made fedora will not go out of style, and can be worn year after year-- I don't think I'll be able to say the same for those oxfords.

Unfamiliar with the Shenia line? If you're a fan of Eric Javit's Summer Squishee hats and handbags, you are in for a real treat. Shenia has the same beautiful textured look of Squishee, but in a soft, rich Winter appropriate fabric. Shenia’s rich texture resembles tweeded chenille, it is soft yet durable and lightweight an ideal material for a beautiful winter hat. Shenia is much like Eric Javits signature Squishee collection, and like the Squishee collection Eric Javits offers coordinating Handbags with his beautiful Hats in the new Shenia collection.

Helen Kaminski Wide Brim Hats


Posted by: Nora

A new month means a fresh new stack of magazines to read! I am such a magazine addict...it's embarassing to think of the all the money spent on them! But anything that makes the treadmill more bearable cannot be bad, right? There is a short "beauty" piece on Sienna Miller in the August issue of Glamour, and I'm feeling inspired! There is a small picture of Sienna wearing a large brim floppy hat with a pretty floral scarf tied around it. She's wearing a loose floral dress, and opaque tights. What a cute outfit for late Fall! So...while Sienna's love life is questionable (that's an issue for a different magazine!) I am a fan of her style...effortless but totally chic.

Many women shy away from broad floppy hats...I think for a while, they were synonymous with Jennifer Lopez, and reserved for the "divas". Not true!  Anyone can look great in a large brimmed hat, as long as it's worn with confidence. Plus, with emphasis on sun protection...large brim sizes are quickly becoming the norm. Here are two to try:

Helen Kaminski Mata

Helen Kaminski Mata
is a great summer sun hat. Mata has a large sloping brim for ample sun protection and the silk cotton scarf band adds great color and versatility. This beautiful designer hat is available in your choice of Scarf color, or add you own scarf to create a more personalized look.

Helen Kaminski Mata is shown with Taupe scarf.

Helen Kaminski Pearl

What a gorgeous sun hat! Helen Kaminski Pearl is a stylish sun with floppy wide brim in fine sewn braid in raffia straw. Helen Kaminski Pearl is a lightweight, wide floppy brim raffia straw hat perfect for a day at the beach or pool. Helen Kaminski Pearl is a hat perfect for ample sun protection for any activities this season. Pearl is accented with shell and ring at band.

Helen Kaminski Pearl is shown in Nut.

And straw hats don't have to be saved for the beach! Finish one off with a pretty sash, or ribbon to match your favorite summer dress while shopping. Or try a darker straw for a great transitional piece, late in the season.

Helen Kaminski Visors


Posted by: Nora

There's only one more day of July left! Where did the time go! I'm so glad we are finally enjoying some Summer-like weekend weather...last weekend was nice and sunny, and this upcoming one is no different. If I tackle the to-do list for the next couple days...my only commitment on Saturday will be to the pool and a good book.

've noticed that most women wear baseball caps to the pool, while I understand the appeal- they're casual and comfortable....they just don't provide enough shade or protection. Plus, did you really spend all that agonizing time in the fitting room, trying to find the perfect swim suit...just to top it off with an old baseball cap? A great alternative to a baseball cap is Helen Kaminski Visor. Helen Kaminski's signature visors are lightweight and casual...but still look chic.  Helen Kaminski popular visor line includes bestsellers: Mai, Mita, and Gita.

Gita, has the smallest brim of the three straw visors..but still provides much more coverage than a cap. With a three inch brim that tapers in back, for a comfortable fit (and makes it easy to lounge back and read!) Gita provides shade and protection to the entire face, sides, and neck. No more sunburn behind the ears! For more coverage, Mita has a four inch brim, and Mai has a five inch.

Helen Kaminski Gita, Mita, and Mai are available in a variety of straw colors, from natural to charcoal. Visors are an ideal Summer hat, and can be worn for so many different occasions and activities. Stay cool and protected on the golf course, or look chic and shaded on a beach vacation. Helen Kaminski visors are completely are packable, and crushable as well.

Helen Kaminski Mita is shown in Medium Tea.

It's not secret that watching Gossip Girl is a guilty pleasure of mine...the outfits are just too cute to miss!

Blair's Bettie Page dress is paired with a cute red Louis Vuitton bag and Eric Javits Squishee Cap in Natural/ Black.

Helen Kaminski Domenique

I love the low-key, casual look of straw cowboy hats during the Summer. While they are a favorite hat to wear on the beach, they also look great as an everyday hat as well. Try a cowboy hat paired with a sun dress or a t-shirt and jeans on the weekend, or shopping in the afternoon. Cowboy hats are a popular look that has been seen on trendy celebrities like Jessica Simpson and Britney Spears. A great western style hat to try this Spring or Summer is the Helen Kaminski Domenique.

Helen Kaminski Dominique is a classic western style hat in crochet raffia straw. Designer Helen Kaminski’s Dominique hat has an adjustable sizing drawstring for proper fit and an interior comfort band. Dominique is a simple western style which has an adjustable brim which allows you to personalize your hat to the brim style of your choice.

Eric Javits Cabana Crush


Posted by: Nora

Eric Javits Cabana Crush

Some women need a reason to wear a hat- whether to shield harmful uv rays, or to hide a bad hair day.  Other women wear hats just because, and we envy them for it. Everyone knows a "hat woman," she's the woman who always has a great hat to finish off her outfit. 

For the rest of us, Summer is a great time of year to let our inner hat woman out. Imagine it- you're relaxing by the pool- and what are you wearing? A great new swimsuit to reward (hopefully) the long hours spent at the gym the last few months, a fresh pedicure, huge shades that rival Victoria Beckham's and last, but definately not least- a big floppy sun hat! 

For Summer 2008- my pick for a great poolside hat is the Eric Javits Cabana Crush. Cabana Crush is a 100% cotton waffle textured sun hat. Eric Javits is known for his patented Squishee packable straw hats, but for a relaxed and casual poolside look- the designer has delivered with the Cabana Crush.

This wide brimmed cotton hat is perfect for a long day at the beach or pool. It is lightweight and has an inner elastic band for a proper and comfortable fit.

Helen Kaminski Raffia Crochet Handbags and Hats
 Lucerne and Adina 12

I briefly mentioned the Helen Kaminski Adina 8 and 12 in yesterday's blog...The Helen Kaminski Adina is the ultimate Summer hat.

The Adina looks similar to the best selling Helen Kaminski Bria from Spring 2006, but it has been improved and reinvented in raffia crochet and Irish linen. The Helen Kaminski Adina is a great beach hat because it has the breathable open raffia crochet weave at the crown, and a lightweight Irish cotton brim. The Adina 12 has a wide four inch brim that provides ample shade for your face, neck and shoulders without getting too hot or stuffy after a long day in the sun. You will love the classic Summer of the large linen brim. For those who feel overwhelmed by a large brim, are more active- the Adina 8 has a smaller brim which makes it an ideal city or walking hat. The Helen Kaminski Adina 8 and 12 are both adjustable for perfect fit- just pull or loosen the straw band for comfortable wear.

When the sun goes down, simply roll up your Adina and throw it in your matching Helen Kaminski Raffia Crochet handbag. Helen Kaminski Raffia Crochet hats and handbags are packable and crushable for easy transport- they will not lose their shape- which make them the ideal accessories to take along on vacation.

Helen Kaminski Vienna and Lucerne are a perfect match to the Adina. Helen Kaminski Vienna is a great tote to have for the Summer months- if you're a fan of larger handbags, you will love toting this around daily as it will fit all your necessities and more. Or it can also double a your next Summer beach bag. At 11"H x 15.5"L x 5"W Vienna is the perfect size for your towel, and the Summer basics- sunscreen, water, and a book. 

Helen Kaminski Lucerne is a larger version of the Vienna. It is sized at 12"H x 16.5"L x 7"W with a 10" handle drop. Lucerne will hold everything you need for a weekend trip to the shore, or the multi-tasking mom at the pool. Both Helen Kaminski Vienna and Lucerne Summer bags are in Raffia Crochet with leather handles and available in Natural, Nougat and Bark colors.

Helen Kaminski Provence


Posted by: Nora

Love the look of the Helen Kaminski Classic 5 Row, but want something a little more understated?

The Helen Kaminski Provence is a casual Summer straw hat that will not disappoint. The Provence may look low key - but it is one of designer Helen Kaminski's best selling styles. The Provence is available in two sizes: Provence 12- a large approximately 5" brim, and Provence 8 a casual 3" brim.

Helen Kaminski Provence hats can be worn with brim turned up or down, or shaped in any way to fit your individual style. Hand crocheted in a raffia straw, the Helen Kaminski Provence provides ample protection from the sun. The unique raffia crochet stitch is lightweight, packable, and crushable which makes Helen Kaminski an ideal hat to bring along on travel. As with many Helen Kaminski Summer Hats, an adjustable raffia drawstring at crown allows for an adjutable fit. Additionally, a soft neoprene foam comfort band sits on forehead for comfortable fit.

A new hat to the Helen Kaminski Designer Spring 2008 Collection is the Melinda 12. Helen Kaminski Melinda 12 is a large brim crochet raffia straw sun hat very similar to the Helen Kaminski Provence 12. Like the Provence's crochet raffia- Melinda is lightweight and completely packable. The slightly open weave gives these hats a light and airy feeling when worn on a hot Summer’s day. Helen Kaminski Melinda has the addition of a wire at the edge of brim. While both the Helen Kaminski Provence hats and Melinda 12 are shapeable- the wire edging creates an endless possibility of styling options. The Melinda will pack flat in your beach bag when not in use and has an adjustable sizing raffia drawstring for proper fit and an interior neoprene comfort band. Helen Kaminski Melinda 12 is a great marriage of Summer style and sun protection.

Helen Kaminski Classic


Posted by: Nora



So for the past few weeks I've been raving about all the new additions to the Helen Kaminski Spring 2008 Collection- but I'd be doing you all a great disservice if I didn't take a minute to tell you about the hat that started it all...the Helen Kaminski Classic.

Helen Kaminski first designed this raffia braid hat to shield the hot Australian sun- and ever since this hat has become a best seller and synonymous with the designer's name. Helen Kaminski's signature raffia hats are all handmade from the highest quality raffia grown in Madagascar. As we are all becoming aware of the importance of living a "green" lifestyle- I am happy to share that Helen Kaminski raffia summer hats are extremely eco-friendly- the raffia is harvested so that the tree is unharmed.

The Helen Kaminski Classic is available in 5 Row and 6 Row style.  Helen Kaminski Classic 5 Row is a wide weave raffia braid straw hat. Designer Helen Kaminski has updated her signature hat to fit more with current hat trends. The Classic 5 row hat was once a very heavy hat to wear and now is has been redesigned and has become more lightweight today than in seasons past. The woven raffia braid is still extremely durable and provides ample protection from the sun. The high quality raffia is flexible and breathable for comfortable wear. The Helen Kaminski Classic 5 Row hat has an adjustable sizing raffia drawstring around crown for proper fit and an interior neoprene comfort band for the forehead.

More Helen Kaminski Visors, Silk Sateen Acessories, and Woven Leather Handbags


Posted by: Nora

Helen Kaminski Spring Favorites

We had such a great response to the new Helen Kaminski Visors, that I have to tell you about two more.

The Helen Kaminski Mareta and Deltano Visors in raffia braid straw are new additions for the Spring 2008 Collection. The Mareta and Deltano are similar to the other raffia braid visors: Orion and Salma with the addition of a silk sateen scarf. Helen Kaminski Mareta is the smaller of the two visors, a nice petite size for those who need a little extra shade from the sun. The silk scarf is available in the color of your choice from: Off White, Powder Pink, Taupe and Black. The scarf is also removable and interchangeable with any you already have in your collection- this is a beautiful and versatile hat that can be changed around to match your occasion or outfit.

The Helen Kaminski Deltano is the sister hat to the Mareta. Deltano has a longer and wider brim size for maximum sun protection. Deltano is a beautiful hat, one that can definitely make a statement, but still is casual enough for daily wear.

If you like the look of the Helen Kaminski Mareta and Deltano, but prefer the look of a classic wide brim Summer hat- the Helen Kaminski Mata is a gorgeous alternative. The Helen Kaminski Mata in raffia braid straw has a large brim for all over protection.  Like the straw visors, the silk sateen scarf is available in a variety of colors or can be swapped out for a scarf in your own collection. This is a great hat for a special event, like a wedding or a tea, and easy to match with the interchangeable scarf option. Helen Kaminski Mata is also available in two tone scarf options. 

The luxurious silk sateen scarves are a beautiful addition to Helen Kaminski's classic Summer hats. The same beautiful colors and sheen can be found in Helen Kaminski's Fine Nappa Woven Handbag collection.

Helen Kaminski Valetta, Cordova and Atacama are available in soft Nappa leather in a charming Spring palette- including Pearl, Silver, Dune, and Prailine. The Helen Kaminski Valetta is your classic square tote- nicely sized at 13"H x 18"L x 3"W with 8.5" long handle drop. This handbag fits comfortable on your shoulders and is a great size and shape to carry anything from your laptop to a beach towel. (We're hoping it's the former...)

Need something even larger? The Helen Kaminski Cordova is a wider- shell shaped handbag. Sized at 11"H x 24"L x 6"W with 10" handle drop. The Cordova has a zipper top closure with two large interior pockets.  Another fine bag is the Helen Kaminski Atacama. This shape is new to the Helen Kaminski Spring Collection, and is available with optional and adjustable shoulder strap. The Atacama would make a convenient weekend or work bag.

Posted by: Nora


Featured Above: Helen Kaminski Gemma, Melody, and Basil

In my last entry, I briefly mentioned Helen Kaminski Panama Cotton Summer Hats. Some popular styles made of Panama cotton include: Melody, Gemma, and Basil. These hats are stylish and extremely flattering- and have the added benefit of maximum sun protection. In fact, Helen Kaminski Panama Cotton has been tested by Quelspec, Australia to provide an UV Protection Factor of 50+

Helen Kaminski Gemma is the perfect hat for those who are "new" to wearing Summer hats. Gemma is a simple, flattering style that can be worn everyday, or easily dressed up. A three inch brim provides ample protection, while not being overwhelming. As with many Helen Kaminski hats, the band can be adjusted for fit and comfort. For the Spring 2008 season, Helen Kaminski Gemma is available in even more colors: White, Natural (Off White), Crystal Pink, Safari, Black, Citron, Orchid, Garnet, Navy.

For those who want even more protection- try out the Helen Kaminski Melody. Melody shares the same shape and features as Gemma, but with a wider brim for maximum protection. Melody will provide ample shade for your face, neck, and even shoulders. Helen Kaminski Melody is a great hat to take along on your next beach vacation.

A casual and fun style in the Kaminski Panama Cotton family is the Helen Kaminski Basil. This style topped our list of sought-after hats last year, and it is sure to be a best seller this year as well. Basil can be worn as a wide brimmed sun hat, or with the brim folded up on the side like in a western or cowboy hat style. Helen Kaminski Basil is also popular for those with active lifestyles. From moms chasing their kids around the pool, or avid sailors, this hat will prove to be a smart purchase. The leather band around the crown, and chin strap make it easy to adjust for a perfect fit, and all-day stay.

Holiday Travel with Head Games


Posted by: Nora

 Surviving Holiday Travel 101

The holiday's are quick approaching. Thanksgiving is already this week! If you're hosting dinner, I'm sure you're keeping busy. But more than a perfect turkey and candied yams, this time of year has always been about togetherness and family The togetherness part unfortunately usually involves some travel. Whether you're navigating the security lines at the airport, or enjoying a mini road trip with the kids to Aunt Sandy's...Here are a few products that may make traveling a bit more cheery this holiday season.

Ficcare Maximas Clip:

Ficcare Maximas are the ultimate hair accessory, and they come in so handy during travel. The unique curve, and strong hold allow for a all-day comfort. They are shaped to contour to your head, so that you can lie back in the plane, or in the car without anything digging into the back of your head. A major plus when the kids are enough to deal with, and you don't need your hair clip adding to that migraine.

Once you get to your destination, the Ficcare Maximas clip can easily transform a frazzled hair-do into a chic french twist or simple chignon. Each clip comes with a convenient instruction booklet that shows several hair styles to try out.

Helen Kaminski Arlene:

By now we're smart enough to check the weather of our destination. But even still, I've stepped off the plane (expecting sun and clear skies) to be greeted with some spawn of El Nino. This is when it helps to have a packable all-weather hat.

The Helen Kaminski Arlene is a water resistant distressed cotton wide brim hat that has a leather cord offering great versatility in styling the brim. The brim can also be worn unrolled for ample protection from the sun, rain, wind or cold- or any other element you're surprised with. It is completely packable and rollable, and a great hat that will get a lot of use on vacation.

Baggallini Large Doctor Bagg:

Now I can't offer you any advice on packing light (it's a skill I will never master). But I will share my carry-on secret. The Baggallini Large Doctor Bagg is the perfect size and shape to be used as a carry on or overnight bagg. The Large Doctor Bagg comes with so many great features that make traveling easier. Let's start with the exterior- a large outside pocket gives easy accessibility to items like tickets, cellphones, keys. In addition to handles, there is an optional adjustable shoulder strap. My favorite feature however is a sleeve in back that can be slipped over your suitcase handle, so you can set the bag on top of your luggage without it falling off as you manuever the crowds at the airport.

And now for the inside! One side of the bag has a completely vinyl lined pocket to hold your cosmetics, or anything else you want to keep separated. There are elastic bands to hold your water bottle, or cosmetics, or even that bottle aspirin :) There's one more zippered pocket, a cell phone pouch, and a detachable pouch. All inside a framed zipper opening for easy visibility of the inside. Oh, and did I mention that the whole bag is lightweight and water-resistant? Who knows, the Baggallini Large Doctors Bagg might just make you look forward to traveling during the holidays.

Designer Hat: Helen Kaminski Effie


Posted by: Nora

My Solution to New England Weather

The other day, we had 80 degree weather- in the middle of October in Boston! Today, it's just dreary out.

Yes, you knew it was coming- I'm a New Englander complaining about the weather! But what's a girl to do? It's not like I don't have enough trouble trying to find something to wear in the mornings...the weather isn't making it any easier. The gorgeous gray wool coat I bought in September has barely seen the light of day, and I refuse to reach back into my Spring wardrobe!

One item that transitions easily from Spring to Fall and back again is the Helen Kaminski Effie.

The Effie has a small all around brim, and squared crown, it is a casual, easy to wear, everyday hat.  A toggle elastic band adjusts the crown for a secure fit. Lightweight and waterproofed cotton will stand up to anything Mother Nature decides to surprise me with. Today, it's acting as a rain hat (and covering up the awful frizzy mess I have under it). On other days, it provides protection from the sun.

The Effie is also packable and crushable, so this is a great hat to throw in your bag just in case, especially if you're a commuter or do a lot of walking.

For Fall, the Effie is available in Garnet, Black, Navy, Stone, Camel and Espresso. A great neutral color like Camel, carries well throughout the seasons.
