Beach Days + Sun Protection

Protecting your skin from the sun’s harmful rays while enjoying the outdoors is a challenge.  Who doesn’t love the warm sunshine and beach filled days?!  Applying and reapplying sunscreen is a must along with sun shades and sun hats. But still it can be difficult to protect yourself from sun damage and exposure. If you cover up with UPF clothing then you don’t need to worry about reapplying sunscreen to your whole body. Just your face, neck, hands, and feet! Or simply head to the beach after 5.

Style Tip: Mad Hatter

You are either a hat person or you are not.  Exploring the chic street style brim hat. A stylish staple with a long history.  A hat that effortlessly adds a uniqueness to your personal style.  The brim hat is a classic fashion piece meant to be worn.  A playful accessory that is worth considering.  Goorin Bros. is a nice place to explore for an approachable option.  They know a thing or two about hats with a history in the hat making world since 1895.  Or take a peek at Parisian millenary, Maison Michel.  They are beautiful!  Check out Farfetch.

Back To The 90’s

Bucket hats are back.  I’m not sure if isostilo can pull this off but certainly many fashionistas are rocking them at the moment.  If I were to pick one then these are my players for you and me.  Since it is raining today the green hunter Acne would be most appreciated.

Got You Covered, Fedora Style

Dune Fedora

Love this summer travel hat from Tracy Watts.  A foldable hat that you can tuck into its sweet travel bag.  Besides that fact, you can wear it with everything and you can pack it in your suitcase!  On a long haul flight, the last thing you want to do is guard your straw hat from getting crushed.  The Dune Asymmetrical Fedora comes in a natural color with white, melon, or blue stitching.  They are handmade.  The raw edging is perfection!
