GUEST FASHION EDITOR: Ana Molinari

Funky and fabulous Ana Molinari truly has a unique style. A native of Peru and the owner of two salons, Molinari loves changing her looks with accessories,

especially with her signature hats.

"My style is on the edge of classy, but more funky. I also love accessories - with a lot of accessories, you can have fewer clothes and constantly create new looks."
ADOLFO II HAT
ADOLFO II HAT "Hats can change your whole look.If you wear a hat, you're more likely to be noticed. They are fun and like having a new hairdo every day. I love them so much, I now design hats myself."

VINTAGE GUCCI HANDBAG
VINTAGE GUCCI HANDBAG "My sister-in-law is the complete opposite of me, and when she got this, it was too much for her, but perfect for me. It goes with everything and has a great vintage feel. When you dress all new, it's boring. Adding vintage crea...
