WHAT I WORE: MAXI COVERUP AND A HAT BIG ENOUGH


My perfect beach coverup is long sleeved and maxi length. Comfortable and forgiving plus this time of the year warm enough. And guess what? I've always struggled to find hats as none of them normally fit. Well Rag & Bone do a size L that's just perfect for me! During pregnancies my skin reacted differently to the sun and despite wearing high SPF I suffered from pigmentation that now reappears if I as much as look at the sun. Therefore a hat together with the SPF50 is a must on a sunny day. 


Dress: Missoni (old)
Hat: Rag & Bone (here)
Sunglasses: Marc Jacobs

    1. It seems that it's quite common... So unfair! :-) Wishing you the same back in London! Which btw is now warmer than here!

  2. Sama täällä ihon ja raskauden suhteen/jälkeen, mulla posket ärtyvät todella helposti. Sain muuten eilen postissa Heliocaren geelin, tilasin sen sun vinkistä kokeeksi - tosin tyydyin spf 30:een.
    Hyvä tietää tuon hatun suhteen, mulle ei sovi yleensä mikään; iso pää ja paksu tukka. Tosin kerran Alpeilla eräässä kypäräkaupassa myyjä sanoi että "ei sinulla ole iso pää, vaan se on (ylhäältä katsottuna) soikea, kun suurimmalla osalla on pyöreä" ja tämä olisi syy siihen miksi mulle ei sovi/istu mitkään hatut. Tai sitten vaan olen isopää! :D

    1. Tykkäät varmasti Heliocaresta! Sitä suosittelee nykyään lähes kaikki Lontoon dermatologistit. Pistin juuri muutaman tuubin taas tilaukseen!

      Sama täällä, pää on soikea sinne takaraivon suuntaan, ha. xx

  3. Moikka Minna, mun on pitänyt jo aiemminkin kysyä kun kerroit käyttäväsi spf 50:tä päivittäin niin mitä suojavoidetta käytät kasvoilla? Etsinnässä meikin alle sopiva, ei liian tahmea. Kiitos jo etukäteen!

  4. This dress looks great. I've been looking for a perfect maxi dress for quite some time now, but haven't find it yes, since I'm quite short and they all look a bit odd on me. I've been hiding from the sun as well for the last couple of years because of hyperpigmentation. Happened to me during my two pregnancies and refuses to go away.

    1. I know it's not easy to find them. I have to be careful with maxi dresses too as I can't wear anything too baggy with my body shape without looking like a lump...

      I don't think that pigmentation every goes away sadly. I've tried IPL and sure it helps but as soon as you expose yourself to the sun it reappears.
