Ahh... lovely... I feel cooler and refreshed already! Just to throw my two penneth worth into the mix, I use Dermalogica Solar Defence Booster which is factor 30 - you just mix a small drop in with your moisturiser and get sunscreen without the grease and smell. All the other skin products I use are cheapo Boots jobbies, but it's worth paying a little bit extra to avoid skin damage.

I am new to your blog and truly have been enjoying it! Might I make a suggestion about SPF. I work outside a great deal and have a sensitively to sunscreen and tinted moisturizers but I tried a product from Peter Thomas Roth. They are mineral powder sunscreens. Slightly tinted, wonderful absorbency and poop SPF 30. I have become a huge fan, I hear they have high SPF's now too.

I just love that red dress you're wearing in that picture with the parasol! It's gorgeous!!

(By the way, I've been a reader for a while now, just never made myself known. Hi!)

Good tips, ma'am! It's a bit too warm over here in Chicago for me, but I regularly wear a pony tail which is timeless and easy to construct. I don't fuss as much with my hair in the heat being naturally curly, but your 'rat' idea might be worth the trial.

Anyway, pip pip toodles!

I must try Witch Hazel!

Thanks for sharing that neat video. I really makes me rethink the idea of "reduce, reuse, recycle..." Seems like we're not that far from "apron front" additions being actually mainstream stylish, to save money!

Very timely blog, Fleur! Am searching for parasols and fans for my bridesmaids and Lindsay gave me a heads up to your blog! x

I literally don't leave the house without my paper parasol any more! ;) Besides the obvious fact that carrying one just looks cool, I have to say it has saved me many times from a bad burn (especially since Florida seems to be out to try and make my fair skin as unhappy as possible ;). I also just bought a super cheap ($1) folding fan to stick in my purse. I frequently find myself waiting places to pick someone up and it's great to have something to keep me cool!

Also: don't know if you've tried this, or if it's even available in the UK. Neutrogena has a sunscreen that is a "dry touch" formula. I get the spf85 (yes, I have to wear something between a 75 and 100... pathetic) and use that on my face frequently without the "greasy" look that seems to happen with other sunblocks.

Gonna add this to my list of links to post in this week's links roundup! Thanks, Fleur!!! :)

2010-07-14T11:27:46.008+01:00

This summer at a local festival I found a parasol for sale that looks like the paper ones but is actually nylon like a proper umbrella. That makes it much more hardwearing than the paper ones, I'd definitely recommend hunting one of those down. I'm off to buy some witch hazel and a hand fan right away though.

2010-07-14T07:58:43.242+01:00

Thanks for sharing these tips, I am now on the look out for a parasol. May I recommend Clinique City Block Sheer? It's an SPF 25 but is oil free and definitely won't leaving you looking greasy as it's oil free. I use it every day under makeup and it works like a primer giving your makeup something to cling to, ty it you really won't regret it and you will keep your porcelain skin tone too! x

I carried a parasol in Venice, and seriously, in the Italian summer heat it saves your sanity. If you are walking around outside a lot {except for strenuous excersize} I can really recommend carrying a parasol as well!

Thanks for the tips,

great suggestions (though I guess my short hair is convenient, it leaves me longing for the ability to try those updos!). Just LOVE that pic of you all decked in scarlet!

2010-07-13T23:28:01.983+01:00

great suggestions. i always wonder how i can look pulled together for more than 1/2 hour after laving the house in this summer heat. the warmth really limits my down dos too. updos it is :)

This is all excellent advice. I would add to it that extravagant use of dusting powder has much to recommend it.

By the by, have you continued using Pear's soap after they changed the formula and made it harsher?

I went to buy some a couple days ago and noticed the change. Luckily I have a couple bars in the pantry still so I have some time to figure something else out.

I have to say, I have never tried them. But ladies over on the Fedora Lounge have and say they do, although apparently washable cloth ones are more reliable. I'd probably recommend safety pinning them in just to be on the safe side, they're always going to provide some sort of extra protection..

I've always wondered about dress shields, they look so nifty but I'm scared they don't work. Are they really any cop?
