THINGS TO TRY THIS MONTH
LOuNGE ON A SWAN
TuRN HEADS
When packing your suitcase for your favorite tropical destination (or just hanging out in your backyard), don’t forget a sun hat. They’re stylish and protect your head and face from the sun’s harsh rays. We’re big fans of Etsy shop TetaApparel’s customized sun hats. They sport witty text perfect for vacation or just lounging about and cost a fraction of similar styles spotted in department stores. Etsy, $19
