This past weekend, I along with everyone else, was at Super Saturday, the annual benefit raising money for Ovarian Cancer. The benefit works like this: designers donate clothes, east enders buy tickets to buy the donated clothes (at greatly reduced prices), and charity wins. Perhaps you saw the taxis directly transporting people from train and jitney stops. Or perhaps you didn’t. If you did not happen to make it to the tents, here is how it went down:

As promised, we've pulled together some of the best suggestions for finding the perfect summer topper. Rachelle gave us each $100 and one hour to "FIND ME CHEAP SUMMER HATS!" So, we scoured the city for you and here's what we came up with:

Urban Outfitters

NYPull
265 Lafayette Street

"Just wanted to write and tell you that I love your blog, it is definitely well written and fun. The “best $2K I ever spent” feature is hilarious. I do have one question though. You mention the street vendors in your post, however there was no further information about where they are, for which I am waiting in suspense because not only do I want my fiancé to have one, but a couple of the hats in the picture I can wear as well."

We here at GofG love feedback. What a nut was I to praise hats as the best summer accessory and then try and exert my expertise on where you can find them. I pretended to know what I was talking about, when actuality, I NEED to figure out where to find these hats I spoke so ardently about. I know they exist, I've seen them on sidewalks on St. Marks place, but I would like a "to-go guide". Which is why, intern Sarah will be scouring the city all day today, with the sole purpose of finding me some cheap hats. Report will follow.

It's time to pull out your best summer hats. One of my most favorite accessory also doubles as a killer weapon against those dangerous UV rays from Mr. Sunshine. There are so many options you have when picking out a hat, and, if you head down to the street vendors, you can snatch up more than a couple without breaking your bank.
