Confession: I have a small head. Literally! Growing up my dad would jokingly call me "Peanut Head", and in general, if a hat is "One Size Fits All" (or "One Size Fits Most"), it will without question be too big for my sad little noggin. Although I loooove hats, most of the time when I buy them (especially online), unless there's specifically a S/M (versus M/L) size, it almost always has to go back. Thus, I was delighted to discover this super versatile Summer hat at a super affordable price that is... (drumroll) ... ADJUSTABLE. Double win!

As for these statement Gucci sneakers... I know, I know, they're a splurge! 🙈 I was lusting after these for a VERY. LONG. TIME. I really love the dichotomy of (almost comically) feminine pearls with (almost comically) edgy spikes. And the mismatched backs are just too cute. (Another popular pair is the gorgeous floral version—you may remember these as being worn by Lauren S on Arie's season—and don't forget THIS great dupe for those!) Knowing these never, ever go on sale, I and finally bit the bullet on these with a carefully-timed purchase at Bloomie's: I compounded their "Spend $100, get $25" Private Sale with several saved up "Loyallist" points and ended up saving hundreds overall. As I've mentioned before, I'm willing to splurge on big ticket items I've been coveting, but I'll be damned if I don't get the best deal humanly possible. #pennywisepoundfoolish 🤷🏻‍♀️

Thanks for stopping by!
