Marcia Cross is November's Sha-de Style Icon for her casual look and her love of wearing hats. As we head into summer in Australia, it becomes more and more important to keeping ourselves protected from the sun, especially between 10am and 4pm.

The recent news of cricketer Richie Benaud's skin cancer diagnosis brought home this point to me. During his time playing world class cricket, he never wore a hat. In a TV interview the other evening, he was asked if he could change on thing about his life, what it would be. He said he would have worn a hat every time he stepped out onto the field.

Fashion, Lifestyle and Daily Shade Inspiration Pictured grabbing a coffee in the first photo, Marcia has chosen a high-necked long sleeve tee in a dark colour, great for keeping the sun off her shoulders and chest. Dark colours tend to block more UV rays than light colours. This navy long sleeve t-shirt provides better coverage than a white cotton version would. In the other photo's, Marcia is wearing light cotton shirts. Although providing good skin coverage, the loose weave of the fabric allows more UV to penetrate the shirt and reach the skin. A tighter woven fabric, such as our Sha-de bamboo, provides better protection as the fabric is specially woven to block UV rays from reaching the skin.

The hats Marcia is wearing in the photo's above provide good coverage. If you are looking to buy a hat this summer, we suggest looking for a wide-brimmed hat that is made from tightly woven straw or fabric to provide the most protection. A good way of checking this is to hold the hat up to the light. If the sunlight comes through the hat, this means UV rays are coming through, so you want to find one that only lets a minimal amount sunlight through. One of our favourite brands is My Red Lippy. We would suggest the Panama Hat in Classic White for Marcia. The Panama has a wider brim for more coverage of the face and neck and the black band matches well with the blue colour pallet and stripes she is seen so often wearing.

Fashion, Lifestyle and Daily Shade Inspiration What Sha-de garment would we like to see Marcia in? Marcia has a penchant for wearing stripes, so the Tamarama Dolman in Cream/Indigo would be a great option for her. The long sleeves and high neck coverage combined with the high UPF rating, would give Marcia peace of mind when she is out in the sun. Click here to shop the Tamarama Dolman.

Found – The best coffee in Sydney If growing up on the Northern Beaches of Sydney has taught me anything, it’s that you will travel for good coffee and breakfast. So if you are visiting Sydney and looking for a great coffee, here are some of my favourite spots:

Black Star Pastry Strawberry Watermelon cake with rose scented cream. This is the reason why you go to Black Star, the excellent coffee and savoury breakfast items give you a reason to linger a little longer. With two locations – Newtown and Rosebery – stop in for a pick me up after leaving the airport or make a morning of it and spend the morning walking along King Street, browsing in the boutiques and partaking in Sydney’s favourite pass time – people watching.

The Pantry – Manly I challenge you to find a better coffee this close to the beach. Not only is the coffee deliciously consistent, the menu is a collection of classic breakfast dishes with a focus on the provenance of the produce. I have held back this long without mentioning the view: literally on Manly Beach, settle back into one of the window tables and watch the surfers slice through the waves as you dive into one of their Tuscan style baked egg frittata’s and a strong latte.
