What does your towel say about you?

Hitting the beach this Memorial Day, I hunted around for my beach towels which I keep stored in my Moroccan puff.  They were a bit sad looking after surviving a Very Long Winter in a tight ball.  It got me checking out the different towels on the crowded beach. Like some bad Cosmo quiz or litmus test of sorts, I wondered what the towels said about the owner.   Here are a few cool ones that've found that  made me smile. 

Target's $8 star version sings "Give me a close up, Mr. Speilberg."

Not to be undone, Garnet Hill's colorful stripes are hard to resist. 

Lands' End has a subdued towel with a design to frame the person laying down. 

Still caught up in Will and Kate hysteria, try out this Union Jack from Amazon. 

Uncommon Goods has a "Destination" towel that serves as a reminder of a fun holiday.

Top ten ways to celebrate summer

#10  Seafood!  Celebrate with a lobster or shrimp roll.  One of my favorite spots is The Lobster Roll on road to Montauk.  Delish!

#9  Espadrilles. Channel your inner Frenchwoman and replace the flip flops with chic espadrilles like this (now on sale) versions at Madewell. 

#8  Summer bedding. Blogged about this last week but pick up new bedding for next summer like from Roberta Roller Rabbit's collections.  All these colors make me smile.

#7 Find a hammock and stay there.   I particularly love this one from  H Groome in Southampton.

#6  Eat outside. If the table isn't already outside, bring it!  Love the blue hues and nautical theme decor of Ralph's East Hampton shop.

#5  Flowers.  Surround yourself with glories from the garden.

#4  Beach Chairs.  Trade up the rusty beach chairs for a cool swing number.

#3  Eat low brow.  Find a taco stand or ice cream truck and order it up.  

 #2  Restock the beach bag.  Fill'er up for one last long weekend.  Toss Designs

#1  Sit and watch a sunset!

SO LONG SUMMER!
