the perfect beach hat

I need an excuse to buy this hat. 

I've had it sitting in a draft for a post about beach essentials for about a month and I just keep looking at it trying to think of an excuse to buy it. I thought today's return of 70 degrees weather was the perfect time to publicly proclaim my love for it. A good beach hat is one of the most overlooked beach essentials in my book; nobody wants a sunburnt, you're going to get wrinkles/skin cancer face. It's just canvas and a little pricey (but it's Kate Spade) but I think it's just darling. Each time I see it I can just imagine sitting on the beautiful white sand with a nice cold beer and a good book or lounging pool side with Pina Colada and top Country playlist.

Since I have zero beach trips in my future someone please go buy it so I can live vicariously through you.
