Fans are fun, functionable - and fashionable!

by Renae Virata

Remember those funky fans your grandmother used to carry or the ones that you’d collect from exotic trips?  Well, take them out of your trunk, ask Mom or Grandma if they wouldn’t mind “handing them down” to you, or hit up the local flea market or international goods store.  The best way to keep physically and to look cool this summer is with a manual fan.

Polyester lace fan - fancy, fancy or for a punky look $7.99

Printed fan - adds a little dramatic flair and looks worldly. $1.99

It’s amazing how quickly the heat of summer can creep up on you.  And sometimes you just aren’t in a place where there is air conditioning or shade.  A leather, cloth or paper fan is easy to use and can easily fold into your purse (even an evening bag!) so you have instant cool wherever you go this summer.  And how cool (excuse our pun) will you look with that air (this pun, too) of diva, even just sitting by the pool!

Purchase a few in a variety of colors, prints and textures to spice up all of your summer outfits.
