I spent some time by the pool today, taking in the sun, a good magazine, and of course the wonderful smell of suntan lotion (my favorite? anything Australian Gold). The older I get the more concerned I am about sun getting anywhere near my face. So of course I wear tons of sunscreen, but the secret is to have a fabulous floppy hat. The bigger, the better. You should look like you walked right out of a movie, or a Palm Desert resort. There are so many chic choices out there, so why not cover up that pretty face?

I’m all for looking like I’m in a movie!! And wearing a floppy hat makes you look just like you’re a movie star! You’re protecting your skin, but you’re looking fabulous while doing it. 🙂
Have a wonderful day, Kori!

I love using hats to spice up outfits. Floppy hats are in right now, and luckly due to the kentucky derby I had an excuse to go buy one! I got a big black hat that I can spice up with scarfs or pins to play.
Thanks for sharing some inspirations.

A girl after my own heart with the Australian Gold! Australian Gold is the ONLY kind of sunscreen I use. It smells so good! 🙂 Thanks for this great post on floppy hats. I’ve always worn them to protect my face. Definitely a must when in the sun. I’m linked up! 🙂
XO,

Lately I’ve really been loving the floppy sun hats! I just recently purchased one from Target that has served me well. Floppy hats are a great way to protect the face while looking stylish at the same time. These are some beautiful photos! 🙂

Love the floppy hat. If you want a reasonably priced and super cute hat, you can look on Marley Lilly. You can even get them in different colors and monogrammed. 🙂

Hi Kori, Hope you have a fun road trip!
I love the floppy hats! I have one similar to the black hat in your post. It is great, you really do want to protect your face from the sun as much as possible. And you also want the pretty movie star sunglasses to match so you eyes will be safe too. Happy Fashion Friday!

Hi Kori! Yes, I believe a floppy hat is crucial for summer! The days of tanning my face are long gone…
