Scala hat, LL Bean monogrammed madras tote,
Lilly Pulitzer Adeline dress, Ross-Simons coral necklace and earrings
Last weekend, my
at Cook Park in Colonie.
I carried Turbo's water dish and coat
in my LL Bean Madras tote.
I chose the pink madras
and had my LL Bean shop
add my monogram in green.
This is a very study tote
and would also work well as a beach tote
or to carry a picnic or crafting supplies.
Bark For Life is a fundraiser
for the American Cancer Society
that honors the role that pets play
in the healing process
after a cancer diagnosis.
The American Cancer Society's mission
is to eliminate cancer
as a major health problem
by preventing cancer, saving lives,
and diminishing suffering from cancer
through research, education,
advocacy and service.
I wanted to share this photo today
because it is Mothers' Day
because it is Mothers' Day
in the United States.
I lost my mother to breast cancer
when I was 19 years old.
Many people often ask me
why I wear hats.
My first real exposure to hats
was watching my mother decide
how she wanted to deal with her hair loss
during her first bout with breast cancer
when I was in middle school.
when I was in middle school.
She tried turbans and wigs.
Putting something on her head
helped make her feel beautiful
during a time when
some very ugly things
were happening to her body.
She was still alive!
She would fight cancer
every step of the way.
I remember my mom
when I put on a hat
because they make me feel
alive and beautiful, too.
