Did you
know that May is Melanoma Awareness month? Melanoma is one of the most
serious forms of skin cancer. 1 in 5 Americans will develop skin cancer
in the course of their lifetime, so it’s important for us to protect our
skin.
protection portion of its line season after season and the 2013 Scala and Tropical Trends brand collections appear to be the biggest yet. There are many hat styles that can fold or
roll up for travel or even to drop into a handbag or tote for daily use.
Style LP157
is a floppy style with a 4-inch brim. It is paper braid. It has a self sizing tie to adjust to one’s head size and
is offered in four color variations….all natural with different trim tipping
the brim, including black, tea, turquoise and fuchsia. On top of all its fashion benefits, it
carries the UPF Sun protection factor of 50 plus which is just what today’s
savvy women want as added protection to their daily summer outdoor routine!
Another great advantage is its pack ability and recovery. It is light weight
and bounces back into shape 1-2-3, therefore it can be easily stored in a beach
bag or taken away on vacation.
Yep, I have squished this hat up and it really does go back to its orginal shape. Pretty much the perfect hat to pack for any vacations where you will be int he sun like the beach and theme parks.
Style LP54, the roll-up visor–folds up and weighs
almost nothing, yet it provides a good level of sun protection. It is available
in 9 colors including neutrals and bright pop colors plus classic white and
black. It is made from durable paper
braid which is a very popular summer hat fabric that does not wrinkle. It has a
5-inch peak and velcro closure and a handy self tie to keep it secure when it
folds. This hat, made it to O, The Oprah Magazine, as one of
Oprah’s favorites a few seasons ago. It was already a bestseller and became
even more popular and continues to delight wearers year after year.
Both items
are on http://www.hartfordyork.com/category/womens-hats-ss
, which is in the Styles section of the site under ?Women’s Hats?. Hats are
featured in many wonderful materials, too. Cotton, raffia, toyo, sewn ribbon,
and paper braid are just a few of many options. Priced affordably, this is a
real possibility since most retail from $20 – $75.
Buy It! The Tropical Trends Woman’s Hat can be purchased on the HardFord York website for $25.
