Style mole: sunbrellas

Sporting shades in the shade

By Marcos Luevanos, Metromix

We’ll spare you the obvious Rihanna joke and get right to the point—the summer (and global warming) is officially upon us, and effective sun protection no longer consists of repeat Hawaiian Tropic applications. If history is any indication, you can bet your bottom dollar that the sun will come out tomorrow…and every day after that through Labor Day. Sunscreen alone can’t prevent heat exhaustion or burns beyond the first degree, so investing in a stylish sunbrella isn’t just good for your look—it’s good for your health. Now that’s something you can really get behind—or stand under, rather—like this shade seeker spotted @ the Pasadena City College Flea Market.
