Summer is the perfect time to enjoy the outdoors, and a great summer hat can help keep you cool. Goorin Bros. has a new poolside collection of summer hats, and although I had a really hard time choosing, I chose this beautiful chocolate brown straw hat with red accent as my favorite.
The hat is the called “Mrs. Davis” and although this style is not available on their website, there are several comparable styles of floppy hats like the Mrs. Perfecta and Sun Kissed. I also found some really pretty cloche hats (think The Great Gatsby) and fascinators that, frankly, I’m not sure I could pull off. But they are adorable, nonetheless!
This brown sun hat comes with a pretty red trim and a women’s Goorin Bros. bronze hat pin. The great thing about this hat is that the cap is fitted, so you can measure specifically for the recipient to get a great fitting hat that won’t blow away in the wind.
This hat was a gift for my mother, and I decided to dress it up for her with a pretty fabric flower to coordinate with the ribbon. To make the flower, I used the Accuquilt GO! Baby fabric cutter and a red seersucker twist fabric print from True Blue by Ana Davis for Blend Fabrics.
I tried out the flower die pictured, but ended up switching to the 5″ circles die instead. I then folded 6 fabric circles in the same way I did in this Pretty Petals Pillow tutorial, stitched them together and pinned to the hat ribbon with a safety pin. It was so simple!

Does sewing count as a summer activity? Haha! I guess I’m a fan of simple strolls through parks (especially in a stylish hat). Thanks:D
My favorite summer activity is going on vacation with my family. And I always pack a hat!
The beach! I love a day with big waves so that I can bob. It’s my form of meditation.
Thanks for the chance!
we like to go to the pool and mountains for hiking and fishing.
I love sailing 😛
We love to go to the pool and to go to the field, and enjoy the basic thing of the life.
It’d be sitting on the porch doing embroidery. No hat needed if I stay in the shade!
I love to sit at the beach, with a sun hat on of course!
Swimming – when it’s hot, it’s my favorite way to cool off. And I also like to stay inside with the AC. 😉
My favorite summer time activity is sitting on the porch with a good book and a cool drink…with my honey at my side and my puppy at my feet. Life doesn’t get much better!
going to the beach with my kids
I love going to the beach…and I could use a new hat this year.
We love to travel and see new places. When we can we like to go to a beach.
I always wear a hat when I walk on the beach looking for shells!
My favorite summertime activity is visiting my sister at her beach house! It’s better to have friends with beach houses than to actually own one! 🙂
I love going to the beach with a straw hat! and I always make my kids wear hats, even if it is just a plastic bag 🙂 (they kind of like those the best)
I love to run, hike or ride my bike. While running and hiking I wear a visor. Riding my bike it’s a helmet.
Besides doing my own gardening, I volunteer at our Botanical Garden and of course wear a hat.
I love going to outdoor concerts in the parks in the summer, and yes, I wear a hat. 🙂
My favorite summer activity is picking strawberries, blueberries and peaches (in a hat as the fields are full of sun) and going home to make jam for the coming year…and of course, strawberry shortcake, blueberry muffins, peach crisp…
I love to walk on the beach wearing a sun hat. Mine is pretty old and I sure do need a new one. 😉
Camping!
Love going to the pool.
Reading!
When reading in the sun I need to wear a visor or a hat!
fav summertime adventure: hiking!
I love going to the beach with family and friends.
Lovely hats, it would be awesome to win one – never leave home without a hat 🙂
My favorite summer activity is riding my cruiser bike around, when its no it too hoot.
I am not a heat-lover so I enjoy being in my cool sewing room making quilts.
I love to be at the beach with my friends, especially in Florida

I love the beach! And I love this hat – especially your delightful embellishment.
Ha! Summer is really the time I do more cooking. We have so many delicious fresh foods around here, and I love trying new ways to make them all work in one meal.
