Since summer offers the best opportunities to try out your hat collection, it is also the best time to shop for them as you will have a wider variety of choices. With people becoming more cautious about sun exposure, hats serve a dual purpose of fashion and style combined with skin protection.

To shop for some trendy and unique hats you will have to visit a shop specialising in variety head gear. You can also browse on the internet for some great hats under good deals offered by numerous designers. Even though it won’t be the same as trying out a hat at a shop, you can still shop online if you are not very particular about the choice, know exactly what you are looking for or to avail great discounts.

Get Your Skin to Glow This Summer

Thursday, May 6th, 2010

Summer has finally arrived and it’s time to hit the pool and the beaches. But before you venture out into the sun for some fun, take care to protect your skin from the heat, humidity and chlorine. Overexposure to sun can be very harmful for the skin and can cause wrinkles and age spots to appear faster. The chances of developing skin cancer too increase many fold during summer. Follow these simple skin care tips to keep your skin healthy and glowing all through summer without compromising on the summer fashion trends of short skirts and bikinis.

Never stop using your moisurizer

Even though the skin may appear less dry during summer, do not stop using the moisturizer. Choose a lighter one, both for body and face that contains water-based formula. Apply a heavier eye cream for lighter serum.

Use sunscreen luxuriously

Choose sunscreen lotions or creams that offer broad spectrum protection. The minimum SPF required is 15. Apply the sunscreen luxuriously 10-12 minutes before venturing out in the sun.

Use lip balms

Choose a lip balm which offers broad spectrum protection from the sun. A minimum SPF 15 is a must. Also ensure that they provide your lips with enough moisture to keep them safe and supple for long hours.

Start using summer fashion cosmetics

Switch to a mineral-based, light foundation powder from your normal liquid foundation. Ensure that the foundation is atleast SPF 15. Opt for a natural glow with bronzing powder instead of using your favourite creamy blush. Skip your lipstick and use SPF-enriched lip gloss. Trade your normal mascara for waterproof mascara.

Switch to protective summer fashion trends

You don’t need to cover yourself from top to bottom, but instead use a fine long sleeve shirt, a hat with a wider brim and a good pair of sunglasses. Keep in mind that light shade cotton fabrics offer you a better protection from the sun compared to dark colored, tightly woven fabrics.

Use Sunless Self Tanner

Avoid sun tan completely to reduce your chances of developing wrinkles, age spots and skin cancer. Instead opt for a self tanner that is sunless. You may use a spray tan or air brushing is also a better option.

Exfoliate religiously

Exfoliating the dead skin, which would have increased many fold due to sweat and sun exposure, using a mild scrub can help in keeping your skin smooth and soft. Exfoliating on a regular basis will also prevent streaking.

Insist on smart shaving

Since you will be wearing shorter dresses in summer, frequent shaving is a must for summer skincare. Make sure that the shaving cream you choose contains moisturizers that will keep the skin soft and supple even after hair removal.

Prevent the occurrence of Rosacea

A very common medical condition of the skin that develops due to excessive heat, Rosacea results in the development of reddish swelling that breaks into small pimple-like spots. If you do develop Rosacea, keep yourself in cool conditions and wear loose-fitting and light weight clothes.

Above all these, the most vital element of summer skincare is the intake of fruits and vegetables rich in antioxidants. Avoid oily and spicy food as it can cause the skin to become dry. Drink atleast 8 glasses of water to maintain natural moisture of the skin.

The latest summer fashion trends include scarves in a big way. Here are some styling tips for your summer wardrobe.

Texture

One of the most vital aspects of a scarf is its texture, since that defines its use. When wearing one during day time choose a cotton scarf that is light and airy. But if you are using it for an evening out then choose a silky one available in bright and trendy colours. You may choose a light cashmere scarf if the nights are breezy or when dining in an air conditioned place.

Colour

Include summer colors when selecting a scarf to accessorise with your dress. Avoid the regular dull cream, ivory or white colors and instead select some happy subtle shades of pale pink, powder blue, light mint green, lavender or even light yellow that are the hottest on the ramp this spring/summer 2010. When going partying and clubbing, try bright and chic colours like raspberry pink or shades of bright red and yellow to add punk to your attire.

Embellishments

Sequins, beads, tassels as well as embroidery – all these add elegance and glamour to your scarves. When selecting a scarf, try to personalise with a knot around the neck or tie it around your hair for a style statement. You can even drape the longer scarves in different styles, since they are a rage this season. Take a minute to determine which scarf goes best with your attire and keep the rest of the fashionable accessories minimalistic since scarves alone are sufficient to create a complete hep look.

Styling tips to accessorise with Scarves

Scarves can be draped in many novel ways most common of which is to wrap it around the neck. It is definitely one of the most versatile of all women accessories as it can act as a wrap for your head, a shawl, a belt and even as a cover up while on the beach.

You can drape a long scarf around your neck, leaving it to hang free and loose or tie colored scarf around the neck and tuck it in. This style will highlight your facial features. For office attire, put it around the neck and make a loose knot in front so that it hangs mid chest.

Long scarves can be used as shawls when worn around the shoulders. Use this style when you are dining out in the open or when there is a nip in the air.

Give your waist a new definition by tying the scarf around a cardigan or tunic in an obi-style. You can even tie it as a belt by threading through the loops.

If you are an underpronator then you need cushioning shoes to protect your arches from excessive stretching and tearing. You should buy good shock absorber running shoes that will also keep your feet dry and blister free. Some good fashion trend choices in this category can be Asics Nimbus with comfort dry insole; Saucony Grid Shadow with rear foot grid to provide cushion and smoothness to the heel on impact; Nike Air Max with breathable mesh to prevent overheating; Mizuno Wave Rider that is lightweight and perfect for small and medium runners and New Balance running shoes with soft cushioning in the heels.

If your feet do not overpronate or underpronate, then you have neutral feet and are lucky to have a wide variety of choices from the latest fashion trends in running shoes. You have the advantage of buying shoes for neutral feet and can even wear shoes made for slightly high arches or flat feet. You can try Asics Nimbus and Adidas Supernova Cushion for healty cushioning; Mizuno Wave Creation with extra durability and Nike’s offerings of Air Pegasus, Air Vomero and Zoom Skylon. Asics GT is highly recommended as a sturdy trail shoe whereas the Brooks Mach 10 is great for marathons.

Compare affordability:

Depending on your spending power, you can choose from different brands, all of which give guarantees of superb quality. Saucony running shoes offer varied price ranges from quite affordable $28 for Cross Country Shoe to $84 for running shoes to slightly expensive $139 comfortable running shoes. If you can spend a bit more, opt for Brooks, Nike or Mizuno running shoes in the range of $98 to $140. Those of you with even deeper pockets can also try out Asics brand that generally starts from $124 onwards.
With such great options and varieties at your disposal, you are sure to find the right soul mate for your feet!
