Awesome Accessories: Striped Women's Sun Hat from Joules

Is that the sun I see?  It's certainly trying to come out this week, so time to bring out the sun hats!  A simple straw hat fits the bill perfectly, but often can be a bit plain or overly casual.  So I've found this navy and white striped sun hat from Joules which would look chic not only on the beach, but about town too!  Wide-brimmed, stylish and floppy, it ticks all the boxes on what one needs from such a hat.  It's a perfect way - along with a decent SPF lotion - to shield oneself from the sun's rays.  It's £19.95 and until 2nd June, customers can get £10 off a £75 spend at Joules with the code AFT10.

Awesome Accessories: Pretty Straw Day Hat from MissCoquines

A hat is a must when the sun comes out - combined with a decent sunscreen, a good hat is a simple and effective way to reduce sun damage but also look great!  I like a nice straw hat, which is classy and classic so should never go out of fashion.

MissCoquines UK has a great range of trilby-type straw hats, which suit most face shapes.  I like this cream one, trimmed with a brown and cream spotty ribbon which should go with almost anything.  I think it would be fab with a simple maxi dress, sunglasses and sandals for a great boho daytime look.  It's £14.39 but with the code MSCQA0504 there's 10% off hats until 29th May.
