The teeny-tiny hat committee

Hats are huge right now, well, a huge trend that is ... the actual size of the hats seem to be shrinking. These two hats from Chapeau Claudette look like they walked straight out of a fairytale. I feel as if the models should be animated, wearing white gloves, and drinking tea with a white rabbit. All of that nonsense aside, I actually dig the hats.

While these hats aren't necessarily easy to pull off (you can't wear them to pick up a taco or walk down to the mailbox) you can make these hats look adorably chic. I would suggest wearing these tiny hats with an over-the-top tea dress for a fun and flirty look or, for a more demure look -- with a secretary blouse/ pencil skirt combination.

These hats are for sale on ASOS.com for about $65 USD (the site is a UK site). What do you think of tiny hats, chic or silly?

Payless on the Runway

FashionKitty's recommendations at ThisNext

Payless is really stepping up their game by selling designer shoes. During New York Fashion Week designers Lela Rose, Abaete, and Alice + Olivia all showcased shoe from Payless (shoes that they designed). All of the shoe collections are pretty great, much better than I would expect from Payless.

Abaete- Designer Laura Poretzky was excited to design a line of shoes that everyone could afford. Her shoes are easy to wear, as the heels are not too high while the shoe remains sexy. Her line for Payless also has sunglasses, watches, and handbags. Prices range from $14-$30.

Lela Rose- Casual luxury is the name of the game for Lela Rose and her collection certainly embodies that. I love her polka dot pumps the most but I am also a fan of the sling back flats -- and I am not even a flats girl.

Alice + Olivia- Contemporary designer Stacey Bendet of Alice + Olivia has created an exciting and affordable line for Payless. I can't get enough of these bright yellow wedges; they are sale too for a cool $32.99.

Buy these shoes and the rest of the collections online or at Payless stores.

Chanel's waterproof eyeliner

Nordstrom- Chanel water-proof eyeliner
I am a huge fan of black eyeliner; in fact I wear it everyday. Problem is, by the end of the day my eyeliner is halfway down my face. For some reason I just accepted this horrible fate and wiped my eyes like a dummy every few hours. It wasn't until I was reading InStyle magazine the other day where I saw a little blurb about Ashley Simpson's favorite things.

Yes, it took Ashley Simpson to convince me there was a way around my raccoon eye problem. So hard for me to admit these things...

Ashley swears by Chanel's waterproof eyeliner pencil, she claims it stays on even during shows where she dancing around stage for hours (and not singing). If eyeliner can withstand lip-syncing and wild dancing then please sign me up for two. Read

Organic soap that doesn't smell like a salad

Savon de Marseilles Organic Bar Soap: Verbena
Organic beauty products are great, I would even go as far as saying they are fabulous. However, sometimes you get a dud and your soap ends up smelling like a salad. I don't know about you but I don't want to smell salad when I am showering. So when I tried this soap by Savon de Marseilles and it smelled good. I was over the moon.

This little bar of magic is free of animal fats and all that nasty stuff. In place of that nasty stuff are vegetables, organic palm and coconut oils. Savon de Marseilles soap is also loaded with lavender, which sooths your tired nerves or if you need a jolt try the verbena-scented soap, which will give you a little invigoration.

The packaging is great too. It has nice and contemporary feel, that way no one will be forced to call you a granola-crunching hippie. Read

Mmm foot candy, mint moisture stick

organic beauty peppermint foot stickFeet are gross (they just are) but there are plenty of products out there that can make them less gross. The times that I find my feet are the scariest is when I take off my shoes for yoga class. It's like "gee, my feet didn't look this crappy when I woke up this morning" Luckily there is a quick solution that can easily be tossed in your yoga bag ... Deep Steep Natural Candy Mint Moisture Stick.

This handy stick is loaded with cocoa butter, echinacea, vitamin E, as well as botanical extracts and emollient oils. All of that good stuff will result in super-soft skin and who doesn't like that?

I like this stick because it's so easy to just keep in your bag, it smells nice, it's organic, and it doesn't feel greasy on your skin. Oh and did I mention it was dirt-cheap? Yeah this magical stick is only $5 -- better get a couple. Read
