shopping guide: straw hats!

As a mom, being outside is part of the "job" in the warmer months. And while I certainly am not complaining - I can't always make sure I am in the shade, or even for an impromptu trip to the park or picnic I can not always guarantee that I will have spf on.

It's no real secret that as I age I start seeing the effects of sun on my skin more and more... oh to be 18 again!

But I also have another, less monumental concern as well with the sun this summer... actually it's quite shallow. I really like my dark hair! And it's not "natural" - so to keep it from it's natural not blonde/not brunette color that it is I need to color it... and then keep it covered in the sun. I hope you all don't think I am ridiculous at this point. It's sad, but true, I know.

So this summer I need to find a chic hat that will shade my face (duh!) but most importantly, my hair. Go ahead... snicker, it's silly I know! Any of these hats would be fun to keep on hand for the pool, beach, park or even just playing in the driveway. No?
