I pretty much always have a hat in tow, whether I’m on a plane or just running errands. So I’m thrilled to share this super clever product that lets you travel with your hat hands-free!
How to Travel With a Hat
I love a good hat. You too?
But what’s a girl to do when she’s traveling with a hat? It’s always a bit of a pain having to either wear it through the airport or carry your hat in your hands. You could put your hat in your suitcase, but then it would squish it. Or what about when you’re out and about wearing your hat, and then the sun goes down and you don’t need it anymore?
Enter: Top Tote!
It’s the simplest thing: Simply clip one end to your bag, and then insert your hat into the clip and a strong magnet keeps your hat safe and secure while you get to be hands-free.
Genius, right?
I can’t believe no one thought of this sooner, but I’m SO glad my blogger pal Lindsay Albanese did. Kudos + grazie mille Lindsay!
Top Tote hat clips come in a few different styles and this smart luggage tag version.
Wouldn’t it make a great Christmas present/stocking stuffer?
Speaking of the holidays…
The Perfect Dress for Thanksgiving
I stumbled upon the perfect dress for Thanksgiving!
I love trapeze style dresses because the no-waist style means you can eat whatever you want and still be 100% comfortable. Plus, isn’t the print so chic? I love a floaty, east-to-wear dress and the weight of this one is just right.
While I’ll be wearing this pleated trapeze dress a lot between now and the end of November, this is the perfect dress to wear for Thanksgiving.
This exact one sold out but here are some similar printed midi dresses I love.

The Most Comfortable Heels
I’ve shared these before, but these are by far the most comfortable heels I’ve ever owned. Cloud-like, in fact. They’re the perfect side dish to this dress.
Can you believe we’re already talking Turkey and the holidays?
Zoinks!

Riding a rickety bus through the mountains of a distant country, I watched villages cling to cliffsides and rivers carve paths through valleys. Children waved from schoolyards, and farmers worked in fields that seemed impossibly steep. The journey exclusive travel guide to italy long and exhausting, but each twist and turn revealed a scene that made every bump in the road worth it. I realized then that travel was not always about the destination; sometimes it was about the slow unfolding of life as seen through a moving window.
I absolutely love the Top Tote idea! It’s such a game-changer for traveling—no more juggling a hat or worrying about squishing it in my suitcase.

Honestly, it’s like playing Drift Boss —just smooth, easy moves to get to the fun part (eating, of course).
