Lounging in Style

There always seems to be a dearth of chic beach towels. Why should any femme fatale of fashion have to sacrifice a complete accessorized ensemble for a day at the beach? Fear no more! SSS is here to help with a few picks at any price to make sure your lounging looks as good as it feels. Aside from the towels pictured below, Bloomingdale's, Horchow, Free People, Shopbop, Henri Bendel, Macy's,  Zappos, and Pucci have many other attractive options for the beach-bound beauty. Also, check out Net-A-Porter, which has a selection of towels by Missoni, DVF, and Gucci.

has a matching Gia cosmetic bag.

"New Yorker On Duty" beach towel by Conde Nast, at Bed Bath & Beyond $30

The above Conde Nast towel is also available at Bloomingdale's, but sells there for $50 (currently on a time-limited sale for $40). If BB&B sells out, hit up Bloomie's for this one.

Don't we all just need a place in the sun sometimes? With three girlfriends laying on the beach, wide-brimmed hats, bright sandals, and tons of Juicy, this is the poster-child (poster-towel?) for summer fun!
