California Poppy

I'm gonna be honest with you guys... this hat is a Halloween costume hat. It's one of those new costume items that Goodwill has for sale during Halloween. It was, like, maybe ten bucks? And it's chintzy as hell, and I don't even know what the material is, it could even be plastic covered with some black fuzz that makes it look suede-y. But it's the exact style that I wanted for so long, so when I saw it on one of my thrifting adventures last fall I picked it up. Someday I'll drop some money on a nice hat, but for now, this one will do. I apologize to all the artisan hat makers who are cringing thinking about this hat being on my head as an actual fashion item and not a 10 year old's Halloween costume.

What is not a cheap Halloween costume, though is this dress! I picked this beauty up from Iris + Poppy and it's probably going to be my favorite summer dress. It's so lightweight, I know it'll be all I want to wear on those days we start brushing up against triple digit temperatures. I've got a discount code for Iris + Poppy, too, so if you want to grab this dress or any of the other cute things they have (I'm dying over the Sadie Jumpsuit!), just use the code AMB-LIZ15 to get 15% off your order!
