How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

My Crush On UV Couture & A $150 Giveaway!

in Lifestyle, Travel on 09/09/15

Summer may be winding down but that sunshine and it’s rays are as strong as ever!  This past weekend my family was positively thrilled to see a forecast of sunny hazy days and heat.  Sumer is not over! So what did we do?  We headed to the beach of course.  We packed up our beach toys, camera, snacks galore and of course I threw in my all time new favourite sun apparel; a couple of pieces of UV Couture sun wear.

UV Couture is a classy and chic line of clothing that will protect you from the suns harmful rays and make sure you look good doing it.  I get more queries about this fabulous stuff then anything else I wear!  From sun dresses, to jogging jackets to a more basic Tee, UV Couture is a complete line of clothing offering options and ideas to help you be sun safe, and sexy,  from the beginning of spring right through until the fall.  This line of clothing is also the must have option when you are packing for those fab winter getaways!

All UV Couture products provide a UPF rating of 50+ protection. This Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF) of 50 is the highest sun protective rating possible in clothing and prevents more than 98% of all UV rays, it provides excellent coverage for outdoor activities such as fishing, boating, paddle boarding, swimming, biking, skiing and more! This clothing line is so beautiful you will be looking for an excuse to get outside and play, and stay outside longer!

My all time favourite item continues to be The Ella Sun Shirt.  This is the shirt I will no longer travel without.  I’ve now packed this shirt up and taken it  from the beaches of  crystal clear waters of Muskoka in Ontario, to the Beaches of Lake Huron, to the Turks and Caicos and frankly, it’s brilliant.  Not only is it cute, fashion forward and light weight; but it protects the delicate skin of your shoulders, chest and shoulders from the unrelenting sun.  I’ve come to rely on the sun safety of the UV Couture line.  I can now play in the sun as long as I want to and don’t burn! Insider tip:  This shirt is on sale at a whopping 30% off right now!

The Ella Sun Shirt comes in a variety of colours, is light weight, breathable, and super cute. A great solution to protect your skin and maintain a level of appropriate sass for the beach! Must maintain the sass!

Here are a couple of my other tried and true favourites.

The Paulina: Full Zip Jacket; This ultra-classy lightweight full zip jacket is the best layering for your trip to the yoga studio, the beach or the lake. Functional key & credit card pocket adorns one sleeve, whilst the other proudly displays the UV Couture Coat of Arms. Featuring the on trend colour blocking that we all love. Perfect to take you from the pool to your room, or hot day to cooler temps at night.  Clearly I need to add this jacket to my shopping list.

The Bianca Ballerina Bolero, this cute little number is both super soft and luxurious.

This classic fit will never go out of style and is so versatile.  Fab for those days you need a little push to get to the gym, goes great with yoga pants.

I like to keep mine close by to layer on top of my Ava Sunset Maxi Dress.

Roll the dress down like a skirt and add the top for a completely different look. The Bianca Ballerina Bolero added to the dress creates a perfect combination with full coverage of the shoulders and arms.

This of course brings me to my favourite and most versatile sundress, the Ava Sunset Maxi Dress/Skirt. Ultra classy and stylish, one of the most flattering fits out there.  This time around I’m showcasing this dress in pink and white.  Ultra light and simply perfect for those hot summer days or late tropical nights.  I even found a reason to wear it in cottage country!

“Not only does UV Couture clothing protect you from the obvious effects of the sun such as, sun damage and aging, but it also helps protect women that have had melanoma, skin cancers, lupus and sun allergies or medication that inhibit you from being outdoors. It’s now safe to enjoy the outdoors without any worries.”
Available in a variety of colours, the double layered fold over top converts from maxi dress to maxi skirt, providing you with two outfits in one. The slightly lowered waist sits just perfectly, and the gentle flare of the skirt is extremely flattering to women of all sizes.   I fell in love with it the moment I put it on and my guess is that you will want more than one!

If you want to be sun safe and sexy this summer, and learn more about this company and their products, you can find them at UV Couture online and support them socially on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.
