The key to happiness

Two words.

Hats.

Lipstick.

Or to be more precise, two new hats and some bright red lipstick. Call me superficial, but these are the things that are currently making me happy.

Hat number one:


















I love that it's black, I love that it's beaded, I love that it has a curly spiral. I especially love that it only cost $10. As did hat number two:


















What better than a splash of red just in time for autumn. And it matches my new red lipstick (chilli by Max Factor) perfectly.

Unfortunately neither of the hats match what I'm wearing today, but I'm forming autumn outfit ideas in my head as we speak. For today's amazing weather I wore the most romantic dress I own and paired it with a little cardi and some huge pearls.
