THE WEST VILLAGE HAT
Some friends can always be relied on to cheer you up; they bring warmth and sunshine to the darkest of days. Some friends are close, and we love them like crazy. Some friends are far away, and we miss them like crazy. No matter where you wear this hat—in The West Village, on the train to work, or simply taking out the trash, keep this cheery hat with you as a reminder of how wonderful it is to have—and to be—a good friend :)
