Five must haves for summer


ENG: Today i want to share my five summer must haves. Even though it's still spring and May have just started but here in Izmir already become incredible hot and sunny for me and for my skin. As I moved here from Siberia (The Republic of Buryatia) which is really lack of sunlight place. Sure we have sunlight there and our summer sometimes can be really hot. But the light strength not so big. So this year I've started to prepare myself for summer a bit earlier.

So here is the things I've discovered for myself as very helpful in the hot sunny weather:

1. Hat
As i already said I came from place where sun is not as strong as in Izmir. So actually before i never use any type of head wear during summer time. But this time i really felt I need it. While walking with my couple I noticed that my head become as hot as pan))) And if you like to walk long distance in the day time or just sit under the sun and enjoy sunlight just like I do, it can be very dangerous not to use any protection for your head. It can even lead to sunstroke. So be careful! 

For myself I prefer a hat rather then cap. As I think it can be worn not only with sporty outfit but also can be a good addition to the summer dresses. So for me it's a best choice for all times.   

2. Sunglasses
I think this is the obvious choice of mine. Everyone need sunglasses in the summer time. And nowadays there are so many beautiful types and models of it in the market so you can definitely find "The One" which will be perfect for you. Sometimes beautiful and extraordinary sunglasses can even become "the main point" of the outfit.

3. Sunscreen
This will be a new thing to use for me, as well as hat. Because before in Russia I've never use sunscreen. Moreover, I even was buying some creams which can help me to catch tan more (as my skin type easily to be burned and hard to get a tan). This year I discovered then sunlight can bring a lot of risks to the skin. And i decided to protect myself from it.

I've chosen  "Garnier Ambre Solaire" SPF 50 (UVA/UVB protection)

4. Thin cotton shirts
As I moved to live in a really hot place so my firs wish for this summer is to stay fresh and comfortable. For this purpose I would prefer to chose thin cotton shirts rather then T-shirts. In my opinion T-shirts make you look too sporty and casual. I would like to feel myself a bit more girly by wearing shirts. And it has longer sleeves which can protect my arms from strong sunlight. Air will flow through it as well, so my body can breathe.

5. Big bag 
I thing all of those big cotton bags will be just perfect choice for summer. As summer time is an adventure time. And sometime I just want to take some book, bottle of water (which is also must have) and comfy plaid (or towel)  and go to the beach and spend my day by reading, swimming, see sunset and go back home in the evening time. Or sometimes I just want to explore city all day long and i need to take my camera, phone, power bank, water, and whatever else .

For now perfect big bag for me is my backpack. It's so helpful and comfortable to use when me and my couple going somewhere to take a pictures. We just grab everything together and put it there. And it's also don't disturb you when you hiking or trying to take a good shot from difficult position. As it's always on your back and you don't need to worry about it.

This was my basic must haves for this summer. Thank you for reading it. I'm sure I will use it all three month (or even more) without stop. I hope my share was useful for you and maybe some of my must haves can become yours too))
