<p>Have you tried a sunhat? That works well for me and is an easy addition to my pinup style. I am not super pale, but sunhats seem to mean that I get less fatigued in the sun, so I wear one to every festival or similar event. I wear a big round beige one and pin a colored flower to the hat that matches my dress, and I add ribbons that tie under my chin to the hat to prevent it from blowing off in high winds.<br></br><br></br>Also, if you give some of the more expensive sunscreens a try, especially…</p>

<p>I dunno if this is helpful at all, but sometimes festivals will sell them and waterproof ones too that are made with canvas and hand painted. I've even seen some nylon ones at the flea markets for cheap, they may be a quick starting point.</p>

<p>It isn't a very fancy place, they are a small shop in chinatown that happen to be affiliated with the website and have many of the parasols that this company sells.

<p>It isn't a very fancy place, they are a small shop in chinatown that happen to be affiliated with the website and have many of the parasols that this company sells. I would suggest taking a picture/saving a picture on your phone of the parasol you are interested in so that they know what to pick out for you (all of the parasols are closed and stacked against a wall so they bring them out to show you based on color/size you ask for). Also keep in mind that each parasol is handpainted so no two will be exactly the same. I parked about one shop over and it only cost me $1 for parking because I wasn't there very long. The parasol itself only cost me $5. =] I bought a pink/magenta one that I used at Viva this year and it was great.</p> I found mine in an antique st…tag:www.pinupgirlstyle.com,2013-07-16:6504043:Comment:2366882013-07-16T18:11:13.266Zcela hyatthttp://www.pinupgirlstyle.com/profile/celahyatt
<p>I found mine in an antique store for $5, it was sitting off to the side, almost hidden. I would search through your local thrift stores, etsy, ebay, etc. Good luck and happy hunting :)</p>

Hi, I've bought mine from this company. I really liked the quality and the price. I bought mine at their actual shop because I live near them and it was cheaper but I liked that they are made of a nylon/silk blend and not paper : )<br />
