My new hat.

My colleague, Candy, who is sweet enough to live up to her name, gave me this hat today. She is from Madagascar and brought it all the way back to St. Tropez for me after she spent the winter there this year. So delighted. A really good, wide-brimmed hat in St. Tropez gives a girl so much staying power. When the sun is beating down, it is like an on-your-head umbrella. This brim is so wide, I can curl up and be almost completely under its shade. Like a mushroom. This post is really just shameless vanity - it is a good hat, though - maybe worth it.
