    (CBS) When the summer rolls around, do you drag out the same old battered beach bag, caked with sand from summers past? How about that flimsy beach chair with the cracked, mildewed cushions? Your pool float has a superhero on it (and, um, your kids are in college)? Isn't it time to update your backyard beach gear?

    Rachel Florio, a celebrity trend expert, has found some trendy items with bold bright colors and graphic prints that are not only chic, they're fun — and they won't empty your wallet.

    Umbrellas: If you're up for a splurge, consider the beautiful, brightly colored Tidal Stripe beach umbrella from Anthropologie (anthropologie.com, $348); a shade alternative would be the Cush'n Shade portable sunshade and cushion (www.beachstore.com, 85400, $34.95) is odd-looking, but you have to wonder why someone never thought of it before. You lie your head on the cushion and the shade covers your head (it's 16 inches away, so no worries if you're claustrophobic).

    A Summer's Day, Made in the Shade
    MOST people love sitting in the sun, but they also know the dangers of too much exposure (and leathery, wrinkled skin is the least of them). There are all types of umbrellas, pavilions and tents to provide the necessary shade. Some are portable and sized for an individual; others will cover a crowd.

    The Cush'n Shade beach canopy, which has a built-in pillow filled with tiny polystyrene beads, can be used on the ground or on a lounge chair. It comes in blue, red or lime green: $45.95 from

    This ingenious new neck-supporting pillow (main picture) is also fitted with a SPF50 sunshade so a snooze in the sun won't leave beach-lovers red-faced. Now why didn't we think of that?

    “I could of done with one of these when I was on holiday last week (which already feels like it was months ago). Instead smoothering my face with factor 30 I could of used a Cush'n Shade.

    The Cush'n Shade is a cushion for your noggin with an attached sun shield to protect your face from those harmful rays. The shade offers the equivalent of +50 ultraviolet protection factor so should be enough for the most delicate of skins."

    “It's great when something new and clever comes on the market and even better when it's Irish-made. This natty little travel companion will protect your face from the sun with a built- in spf of 50+. It's cushioned underneath your head for ultra comfort and can be angled to suit as the sun moves around throughout the day. It comes with a shoulder strap to make it easily portable and only weighs a mere 900 grams so you'll hardly even feel it in your suitcase. If you still love to tan your body, do your face a big favour and keep it out of the sun - you'll be glad you did in years to come."

  6. This week we want to know all about ... The Cush'n Shade
    “It's a hot summer's day and you're lounging on the beach. You can't wait to get back into your favourite read while soaking up the rays, but the sun's in your eyes, there's sand in your sandwich, your head is starting to feel like the inside of a pressure cooker and it's becoming an effort even to turn the page. But there is a way out - the Cush'n Shade.

    According to the creators of this accessory, 'Reading in the sun has now become a pleasure because the shade blocks the glare of the sun and will even help to support your holiday novel'. So three cheers for no more uncomfortable moments, achy arms or squinty eyes. The shade above your now not-so-hot head can also double up as a nifty table for a pina colada or daiquiri and cleverly transforms into a portable shoulder bag. And for those who like to accessorise, additional cushion covers are available in a range of shades to co-ordinate with any bikini, towel or pair of trunks. Grazia loves it. And so do we!"

  7. Summer Shade
    “Whilst on holiday you can catch up with your favourite reads at the poolside, it's a perfect time for relaxing in the sun and enjoying your new book. Sitting comfortably in the sun, trying to read your book without squinting or getting tan lines from your sunglasses is a feat in itself.

    The revolutionary Cush n Shade is the answer to all your sunbathing problems; it offers protection by shading your face from the harmful rays of the sun. The shade is made with a 50+ ultra violet factor built in, with a cushion to support your neck whilst chilling out on the beach, with the weighted strap it can also be used on sunloungers by the pool.

    The Cush n Shade allows you to read and relax in comfort protecting you from the sun, it can be easily stored as it folds up to fit in your suitcase, available in a variety of colours that are machine washable and removable.

  8. The Real Slim Shady
    “How many times have you lain in the sun, squirming about, squinting at your book as the sun compromises your sight? Joan Bree was lying on the beach in Sardinia with friends a few years ago, trying in vain to get comfortable with the sun in her face. She decided it was time to do something about this holiday problem - and the Cush'n Shade (right) was born. The ingenious design incorporates a cushion for you head and adjustable shade to shield your face from the sun and help to prevent UV rays from damaging your skin.

    Bree took four years to bring Cush'n Shade to the market; now, within a few weeks of its launch, this Irish invention has gone global, with offices in Los Angeles and Brussels. Expect to see it on a beach near you; Pictured model not included - and it won't make you look like her, either."

    "Forget bikinis and sunnies (for a moment) - here's the holiday essential. It combines a neck-supporting pillow with an SPF50 sunshade. We're predicting it'll become a cult buy and Pucci will be designing covers for it by next year."

    I am so pleased with this little gadget. I love to read whilst laying in the sun and this product is perfect for keeping the sun out of my eyes and preventing me from squinting. Now I can read in the sun, in comfort, without having to wear uncomfortable peaked caps, or glasses that continually slip down my nose. More added bonuses are that there's less chance of skin damage to my face and my hair will also be protected against drying out by the sun. This item is also a must have for anyone who has a bald head. It is a doddle to assemble and really does only take seconds to put together. It also fits neatly into its own carry bag for complete portability. Brilliant!

  16. One of the best investments I have ever made. Review by Cheryl Nash

    I bought my cush n shade 6 years ago at the holiday show in Manchester. I have taken it all over Europe, and the Middle East, and having just returned from Egypt, where I had many enquiries about my shade, felt I wanted to leave a long overdue review.

    I love this product, I have fair skin, and cannot stand the sun on my head, this gives me protection from the sun, and allows me to read without being blinded by the sun too. I can vouch for the longevity of this product, which has been well used for 6 years and is still going strong.

    I recently purchased two cush 'n shades and am pleased to say the service was speedy and the products are fantastic. I have used them constantly when the sun is out here and for someone who doesn't like the sun on her face and head, it's brilliant. It eliviates the need to wear a hat and I can read without squinting. Would strongly recommend.

    I have had my Cush n Shade for 3 years now and love it! Light, easy to put together and so useful. Never liked umbrella's as they shade whole body and I only like my head out of the sun so this is perfect! Just been to Ibiza and had loads of people ask me where I got it - so hopefully, lots more sales!

    hello-I recently took my cush n shade on a cruise and it was really great as there is no other shade on the sun decks - I was constantly asked (every few minutes) what is was and where I got it from - I am sure that if you sold the cush n shade on cruise ships you would sell 000's and the shade could even be printed with the cruise company logos-therefore why not try marketing them to to cruise companies? if you have any success with this perhaps you could let me have a £ 1 commision per unit sold for coming up with the idea ! thanks -John

    I've had my cush n shade for about two years now and would'nt go on holiday without it, having had a skin cancer removed from my face three years ago it's a definate must and i would recommend it to anyone with the same problem, your face still gets a nice tan and high protection whilst sitting under the shade

    I bought this item last year 2009 during the summer that we did'nt get. I took it on holiday to Majorca and everyone that saw it thought it was BRILLIANT. I also took it to SHARM EL SHIEKH in March this year 2010 and the guy on the beach couldn't get over how good it was , also everyone around the pool wanted one . Its certainly one of the best things that i have bought, and it does exactly what it says and protects your face .I hope anyone who reads this ,gets satisfaction like my daughter (she has one too) and myself have done.
