Good morning, shoppers! Yes, yes, another dreary morning, but the weatherman says that we should see the sun for a few hours this afternoon — Hallelujah! — and before we know it, it will be time to head to the beach and the pools. Memorial Day weekend is just over two weeks away after all!

I don’t know about you, but amidst counting down the days until the pool opens and all of the Kentucky Derby/Gold Cup/Preakness madness — not to mention burning my scalp on a recent trip south — my shopping thoughts have been fixed on finding a great hat.  Besides, it’s rare to find something that protects you yet is also quite fashionable.

What do you think? Have a favorite? I’m afraid my faves are the bottom two.

Ps. Sephora is giving away free samples of Lindsay Lohan’s new Sevin Nyne tanning mist.  Consider one yours if you enter the code “TANMIST” when making a $25 or greater purchase!

Pps. More on that Amazon announcement!
