Summer Obsession

As the weather gets to be an almost unbearable 90 degrees in lovely Southern California, it’s time to hit the beach and take to the waves for a little cool down. This year, my beach bag will be stuffed with the very chic, generously oversized blanQuettes by Yumi & Laurie. The stylish and lightweight blankets are more than big enough for two people to sunbathe or four to sit comfortably and picnic outdoors.

Plus, the 50% organic cotton and 50% bamboo blanQuettes are 100% fashionable and make as big a splash outside lounging in the sun as they do adorning a bed or chaise in the house. Why not enjoy the yummy, spa quality feel in both places since the blanQuettes are machine washable and easy to care for.

My personal favorites are the Furano and Laguna lines, which start around $195 for the 6’6″ x 4’9″ Turkish style blanket + towel hybrids.
