After spending a day at the beach, I could have really used a hat like this one from Roxy.
I remember when bucket hats were popular the first time around, and I can see why they’re still here. These hats come in endless colors and prints, pack flat for sunny vacations, and provide 360 degree protection from the sun’s rays. This one comes in a bright floral print or cool blue tie-dye — both are perfect for your next getaway!
This hat is $29.46 (bijou blue long weekend) or $36 (pastel rose swept up floral) at Zappos. It comes in SM/MD or MD/LG.
Hunting for something fancier? Both Givenchy and Versace have bucket hats out right now. If you prefer the wide brimmed style of hat, there are a bunch of packable hats in the NSale for $25-$30.

I’m unexpectedly completely flat out at work next week and am having a childcare issue. A mom friend of mine offered to be the Parent In Charge for two mornings next week so I could just drop the kids at our pool club instead of having to sit around and watch them. She’s saving my bacon.
What do I do for her as thanks? Relevant info:
– our kids are the same age, and friends. I have one more kid but she’s older and could basically be left at the club alone but she’s a year too young per the rules. Other kids are 4 and 6.
– it’s totally inappropriate and weird to pay her in any way (socially speaking, and also, she is not in any way in need of money. I would make the exact same offer to her if she had an appointment or something- our kids play really well together and adults have to stick around with them so were it not for work i’d be chilling there poolside with her!)
I’m thinking something like ~$100. I’m a terrible gift giver. My default is wine but that’s too much for wine. What kind of cute luxe product would you like if it appeared after you did a friend a big favor?
