Lust for Life

I am one of the few people who still hasn't seen Miss Penelope Cruz’s film, Vicky Cristina Barcelona, for which she has received nothing but accolades for her performance. What I have seen, though, are previews and commercials for the movie, where Penelope's style is uber-bohemian. Her relaxed ensemble works perfectly with her complicated character, Maria Elena, who I also happen to think is a bit misunderstood—I mean, wouldn't you totally open the suitcase of a girl who's going out with your ex? Inspired by her lust for life, I found this great, head-turning hat by Eugenia Kim ($82.50, shopbop.com) that's perfect for a woman who oozes passion, just like Maria Elena. ¡Qué Viva Barcelona!
