COVER STORY

STYLING AND TEXT BY Kristin Antonino and Micah Simon   PHOTOS by Lisa Shires

Safe in the sun is more than skin deep, but starting with the skin is never a bad idea. Don’t step outside without your lotion, spray or brush-on SPF protection, and protect your eyes with a pair of sunglasses with UVA and UVB lenses. Keeping away from harmful rays doesn’t have to be dull; brighten up your hot weather wardrobe with fun – as well as protective – pieces like Nordstrom’s crocheted cover-up, or REI’s sassy straw hats. Don’t forget to stay hydrated and keep your beverages icy cold with a cheery insulated tote.
