Helen Kaminski Gio

Although we have rain and snow in the forecast this week, it seems that the temperature is starting to creep up. Hopefully it'll be spring before you know it! Do you have any trips planned for this Spring? It seems like it will be another year when "staycations" are popular, but with so many great destinations within the US, and along the east coast where we are located, I'm sure I'll be able to get some sun and relaxtion in without going too far.

Helen Kaminski Gio is a great sun hat that is new from the designer for the Spring 2009 season. Gio features a unique assymetrical wired brim that can be easily shaped, for the perfect look and fit. Helen Kaminski Gio is made of light weight raffia straw, with a tapering brim that is 3 inches in front, and 5 inches in back. Whether you wear Gio on your next tropical getaway, or in your own backyard, Gio will provide ample coverage and shade from the Sun. Like most Helen Kaminski hats, Gio is packable and crushable and features a tone on tone raffia straw accent band that can be adjusted to size hat.

Helen Kaminski Tigra

It snowed nonstop yesterday, and I'm just about done with it! Luckily, we are expecting some nice weather in Boston this weekend...and I'm very much looking forward to enjoying it with a nice stroll around the city.

Helen Kaminski Tigra is a great "city hat." It's small, casual but still very stylish. Tigra is the perfect walking hat  to wear while window shopping on Newbury street or even for the weekday commute.

Helen Kaminski Tigra may be a cute little cloche but it's fully functional as well! It'll keep you warm and toasty throughout the Winter and is not too heavy for a breezy Spring day. As we've come to expect from designer Helen Kaminski, Tigra is convenintly packable and crushable, you can easily roll up, and store Tigra in your purse when not worn.

Kangol Hats: Wool 504

Pete Wentz, the Fall Out Boy rocker has a new line of unisex clothing out...and I read recently that he has been known to wear his wife Ashlee Simpson's pre-pregnancy clothes. I don't know if I'd be so happy if my husband were wearing my clothing even if he were a famous "emo" rockstar. But I will admit that I have no problem borrowing items out of my guy's closet. One of my favorite men's items to steal for my own wardrobe would be hats...Kangol makes a great line of unisex hats... recognized being the Kangol 504. The Kangol 504 was inspired by the original Kangol hat- the classic wool beret with its seamless construction and ease of wear. The Kangol 504, a seamless peaked cap was introduced in 1954 and has been an icon of the company ever since. The Kangol 504 is a sleek and cool driver cap available in many different colors and materials. For Winter, try out the Kangol Wool 504, pictured on left, which is a great hat that will keep you warm while looking fashionable all season long.

For a different look, another fun hat to try is the Kangol Arnold. Arnold is a small fedora style hat that looks great on both men and women. Like the 504 style, Kangol Arnold is also available in a variety of fabrications including  soft cotton, fuzzy "Furgora" and even plaid.

Helen Kaminski Kelsey

When it comes to casual spring and summer hats, a visor or cap are the best options. These comfortable hats are lightweight, provide just enough coverage for an active day, and are just so easy to wear. So which to wear, a baseball cap or straw visor? While each hat has its benefits, there's no need to choose favorites. Designer Helen Kaminski has a unique hat in her new spring 2009 collection that combines the two hat styles to make the ulimate casual summer hat.

Helen Kaminski Kelsey is a unique summer cap with a raffia straw brim and Panama cotton crown. Kelsey converts into a visor by unzipping the detachable crown of the cap. Helen Kaminski Kelsey is a fun feminine take on the casual baseball cap. Try this versatile style for any summer activity from golf, walking, to gardening.

For a great casual bag to match Kelsey, try out Helen Kaminski Tana. Tana is a lightweight and casual shoulder bag in raffia crochet straw with flap and magnetic closure. Helen Kaminski Tana is a slim bag for the woman who prefers to carry just her essentials- it can be worn on the shoulder or comfortably across the body.

DO: Wear a Knit Hat

I love Dos and Don'ts Lists- my favorite being Glamours fashion lists. In their January issue, they have a fun little Dos and Don'ts of hats, and I was very excited to see one of my favorite styles featured as a DO!

Knit styles are a DO this season and you definitely don't have to suffer for fashion with one. Knit hats are comfortable, lightweight and so warm. A great casual hat that according to glamour "is the baseball cap's chicer cousin." Knit hats,whether an oversized beret (as shown on Cameron Diaz) or a Knit Newsboy can be worn on a casual day, or even dressed up with a pretty brooch.  Dressing up knit hats is especially popular with the younger Hollywood crowd- flip open any magazine and you will see pictures of the latest "it" girls like Lindsay Lohan and Scarlett Johansson pairing a knit beret with a party dress and opaque tights.

For a similar look, try out our Cable Knit Beret which is a thick and chunky beret in cozy cable knit- the perfect accessory to wear on a cold winter day. Or another option to try is our Ribbed Knit Beret which a large knit beret that gives you the perfect slouchy, oversized beret look.

Rain or Shine?

We woke up today to a taste of the extreme weather that New England Winters are known for- wind, rain, and even ice storms that caused flooding and power outages in the area. So, it was a big surprise to see the storm move through so quickly. For now, it looks like the rest of the day and weekend will be dry (but cold) here in Boston-- hopefully it will stay dry where you are as well.

For a day like today, when it's rainy one minute and sun the next, it's nice to have a versatile hat on that works in both rain or shine. Helen Kaminski Effie is a basic rain hat in treated water resistant cotton with a short brim and squared crown. Effie is a sturdy all weather hat that will protect you from all of Winter's elements.  Helen Kaminski Effie is also lightweight enough to wear out of the rain as well- it is a great year round waterproof hat that can double as a sun hat. Effie is a basic shape, but it is so sleek and well made that it can transition from a city hat to outdoor activity like boating or hiking.

Helen Kaminski Effie has an adjustable toggle that ensures a perfect and snug fit for all head sizes, anyone who has lost a hat on a windy day can vouch that it can be difficult to find a traditional bucket shape rain hat that fits well, and will stay put in stormy and windy weather. Helen Kaminski Effie is packable and crushable and can easily be folded or rolled up and stored in your handbag when not in use.
Whatever your current weather situation, I hope everyone has a safe commute home! Enjoy your weekend!

It's Black Friday, and I'll admit I was up early and fighting the crowds and looking for deals. I did manage to check a couple gifts off my list but quickly lost steam.

Physician Endorsed St. Lucia

Welcome back, I hope everyone enjoyed a great Independence Day weekend! I had a nice and relaxing weekend, and I think we lucked out with the weather. We had a few overcast moments but the thunderstorms stayed away for the most part.

Which brings me to an important reminder: Sun protection is necessary even when it's cloudy out. Clouds may block sunlight, but they do not block all UV A and B rays, which is why it's still possible to get a sunburn on a cloudy day.  In fact, Physician Endorsed Sun Hats come with a credit card sized UV Intensity Meter. You expose the meter to direct sunlight for a few seconds, and it tells you the intensity from Low to Extreme. Also included with a Physician Endorsed hat is complimentary sunscreen sample.

A great Physician Endorsed hat to try is the St. Lucia, a 100% Cotton sun hat with a large 5" brim. St. Lucia is a reversible hat with solid color on one side and a stunning floral print on the opposite. This hat also features a convenient drawstring band at crown for the perfect fit.

Physician Endorsed St. Lucia is Shown in Black Floral, and has a Sun Protection Factor UPF 50+

The Perfect Golf Visor

Did anyone catch the US Women's Open this weekend? Annika Sorenstam's last 199 yard shot for eagle was amazing to watch, especially after the difficult day she was having. It was great to see her walk to the and the perfect way to end her final US Open. No one can deny that Annika went out in style!

For myself, style much more describes my outfit than my game. A hat is absolutely necessary on the golf course, and the Eric Javits Champ visor is one of my favorites to reach for. The Champ is an ideal visor for golf, or any activity. Crushable, and packable like all of Eric Javits' Squishee accessories, the Champ is also lighweight and easy to wear. The Champ features a 3" brim that provides adequate coverage not only to your face, but also to your ears, and side of neck and face. A 2.5" band, in many different color choices fits your tastes, and an adjustable velcro closure in back ensure that this hat is the perfect size as well.

It's not secret that watching Gossip Girl is a guilty pleasure of mine...the outfits are just too cute to miss! Usually I am enamored with their hair accessories- from giant bows to the latest in headband trends. The In the latest episode of Gossip Girl, Blair's sailor inspired outfit was definitely a scene stealer. Blair's Bettie Page dress is paired with a cute red Louis Vuitton bag and Eric Javits Squishee Cap in Natural/ Black.

Eric Javits Squishee Cap was a new addition to the Spring/ Summer line last year, and it quickly became a best seller at headgamesonline.com.

The Squishee Cap is so versatile. It can look dressy (as seen on Blair) and be worn to a shower or wedding. Or the Squishee Cap is also a favorite for Summer activities like golf, or tennis. The Squishee Cap has a four inch brim that tappers in the back for comfort, it has an adjustable velcro closure and a removable terrycloth band for comfort and fit.

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.

As the weather gets warmer, safari inspired fashions always show up on the runways. For the 2008 season, the safari look is hotter than ever.

Two great casual Summer sets by Helen Kaminski.  In Raffia Crochet and Cotton weave, the Helen Kaminski Helina Summer hat and Helen Kaminski Caroli sling bag are great for casual Summer style. A beautiful set that is functional and practical.

Helina is a packable, crushable, and adjustable raffia crochet straw hat. A great lightweight and breathable hat that provides ample protection for any activity.

On the go, Summer style is simple with Helen Kaminski Salerno, a Summer straw hat with squared crown. Helen Kaminski Salerno is a medium brimmed crochet raffia sun hat. Salerno has a cotton weaved band and cotton accent at edge of brim. Designer Helen Kaminski’s Salerno is a great “city” or walking hat, it is lightweight, packable and crushable with a drawstring sizing band for proper fit and interior foam band for comfort.
Helen Kaminski Tana is the perfect size to carry around what you need with ease. This set would be a perfect to bring along on your next vacation. Both sets are packable and crushable.

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.

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. The Classic 5 Row is available in natural raffia with signature grosgrain ribbon available in many colors.

Helen Kaminski has a wide array of summer handbags perfect complements to any Helen Kaminski summer hat you choose. The Helen Kaminski Ipanema is the perfect complement to the Classic 5 Row hat. The Ipanema is available in two sizes the large Ipanema sized at 11”h x 23”l x 6”d and the small Ipanema sized at 10”h x 19”l x 5”d. The Ipanema has natural leather handles and magnetic snap closure. The small tote is perfect for everyday use large enough to tote all you need but not too large. The large tote is nicely sized if you have many things to carry. Chose either size with your Classic 5 Row hat for the perfect set for summer.

The Helen Kaminski Classic 5 Row or Classic 6 Row paired with the Ipanema in either the small tote size or large tote size is a great set to have this summer season.

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.

Helen Kaminski Genoa

As much as I love my hats (and my friends seem to identify me by them)...I can't deny that every woman has a special spot reserved in her heart for designer handbags!

Can we ever get enough? Of course not, and how can you resist when they are a perfect match to your favorite Summer straw hat? Try out these new additions by Helen Kaminski!

The Helen Kaminski Genoa is a cute Summer tote style handbag in a small and large size. The Genoa is made of raffia crochet straw with irish linen lining with drawstring close. The Small Genoa (sized at 20.5" x 19"L x 8.5"W with 7" drop leather handle), would be great to wear on a lunch date with the girls. The Medium Genoa (18"H x 15"L x 7.5"D with 7" drop handle) is perfect for bringing along your book and essentials for a day at the pool. Both sizes of Helen Kaminski Genoa are available in Natural Straw with Natural Leather Handles, Natural/ Chestnut, and Bark/ Chestnut.

The Helen Kaminski Genoa is a perfect match to Raffia Crochet Straw Sun hats including Helen KaminskiAdina, Melinda, and Provence. All three straw hats are also available in small and large brim sizes.

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.

 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.
