Listening to Placebo -This picture- the lyric made me laugh when I heard “I wrote a poem that described her world”. Here I am writing about this pretty stylish Poet. How would his world be?

I like this poet-in-the-corner trend, and to be honest I like it even more when they look stylish. To be an artist doesn’t mean you gotta look sloppy. The preppy look matches the Smith Corona type writer. In reality it’s not too complicated to look young and fresh, a white oxford shirt and a cardigan will never go wrong. Our street poet also has a beard, a la mode eye glasses and a chic black scarf (things we see every single day, but in his case executed impeccably).

Or maybe not.

The fact is that today I saw a fantastic hat store Goorin Brother.

The story started in 1895, when Cassel Goorin designed one of a kind hats for his customers. Over a century later, the hats are designed in San Francisco by the local artistic community. What makes them so special? The store is AMAZING. The variety of hats, the interesting display, the vintage furniture and the beautiful people working there will make this experience unique! You can find special details in each hat, like a feather, an exquisite lining, or even a ribbon. Oh! the box… they have the vintage hat boxes -sold separately- but they are out of this world!

As they stated on their website “Like you, perhaps, a Goorin hat is full of contradictions: It is timeless and timely, grounded and groundbreaking. Rooted in tradition, yet calling for change”.

“The Goorin core hat line is a select collection for men and women that blurs the boundary between classic and contemporary. Blending the glamor of vintage with a streetwise, post-modern edge, Goorin core hats combine expertly crafted traditional styles with unexpected combinations of fabrics, washes and details; inside and out”.

What else do you ask when searching for a hat?
