Talented hat designer Carol
Carr just returned from Brentwood,
Tennessee (outside of Nashville). It turns
out that Carr was the guest designer at
a charity hat event to benefit the TJ Martell
Foundation at the Stacey Rhodes Boutique.
The show was for the Kentucky Derby and
Steeplechase horse events (which are a big
deal for hat lovers).
Carr also spent three extra days in Brentwood
meeting with customers to make special hats
for the races. As you know wearing a great
(and unique) hat to the races is as important
as the race itself. Carr has a wonderful
sense of style and voracious appetite for
using color to her advantage, so we know
she whipped up some amazing hats - shown
below.
We hear the event at Stacey Rhodes Boutique
was a great success.

Ertelt from South Carolina was at the polo

We had a hat chat and...I can honestly say
that this is a woman who gets it.

Diane McFeely turned her Dorfman Pacific Scalia
Hat upside down to create a new shape in headwear
– and we give it the thumbs up!
McFeely would love hats to match all her
clothing but says it is hard to find the
assortment of colors she needs. The Hat
Lady (me) told her to check out some of
your websites.
If you have some lady-like colorful hats
you may want to email this hat-loving Palm
Beach County resident at dmcf1000@comcast.net.

KING CARRIES A FLAG FOR POLO AT THE INTERNATIONAL
POLO CLUB PALM BEACH JUST AFTER THE DIVOT
STOMP (if you don’t know what that is,
it is the half time break in a polo match
where guests stomp on the polo field with
a flute of champagne in their hands). So much
more fun than going to the Mall!
