My birthday is still a couple of weeks away but as soon as I figured out what I wanted, Mr Kitten went out and got it for me (I know, spoilt!). I present to you, my new best friend;
The weather here has turned really warm and summery and when I went out yesterday wearing the outfit below, I got a sun rash on my back. Not so fun. So today I might just stay inside a bit more and get to know my new friend.
Living in a flat with just a small balcony sucks by the way, it's too hot to use it much as the sun is on it all day...What to you ladies do who don't have gardens but want to be outside when the weather is nice? And how do you avoid getting a sun rash?

I would recommend getting a parasol. This website sells loads: http://www.brolliesgalore.co.uk/ but I am sure you can find other wesbites based in your own country or pick up a vintage one on ebay! They are great because they keep the sun off your head and also protect your shoulders when you are wearing strappy dresses like the one in your pictures. Also keep some aloe vera gel in the fridge for a refreshing after sun on the days when your skin gets a bit burnt or red.
I give another vote to the parasol. I was in Australia a couple of summers ago and it was the only way I survived. It stops you getting burnt and also keeps back some of the heat.
And I sympathise with your lack of garden. Not really an option on my pay packet in central London! There's lots of nice parks about but it's just not the same as having your own green space, is it?
Great serger! You will enjoy it for years to come. I serge something every time I sew. You will get a lot of use out of it. Happy Birthday!
Vintage Vicky; Oh, that's a good idea! I will have to look into getting myself one of those...About sunburn, I have never gotten burned and not really even red, but then again I've always been good with putting on sunblock. Doesn't seem to affect the rash though :(
Miss Marie; Now I'm even more interested in getting a parasol! And no, it's not the same with parks, but what can you do? :/
Vintage Girl; Thanks, I hope so! :)
a serger!! what a fantastic present!!! i hope you'll have lots of fun with it and present all your projects here!
Fröken Lila; I know, I'm so pleased! And yes, naturally pretty much everything I make shows up here...
Jag är inte ett stort fan av överdriven värme, så jag brukar mest hålla mig inne eller hitta en skuggig plats att slå mig ner med en bok på =)
Oh la la! Gratulerar, vilken fin present! Min overlock öppnade en hel värld av jersey-sömnad.
Ha så roligt med din nya leksak!
Förresten, ett litet tips: http://retail.sonjas-textilatelje.se/?gclid=CN6o4MDqt6kCFUOo4AodzXSn8w har ett fantastiskt utbid av ekologisk jersey och interlock.
Erika; Jo, jag är nog nöjd med min present! :) Ah, ska kolla in länken...
