photo: ban.do

The start of summer is officially our favorite time of year to stock up on all things beachy – canned rosé, picnic blankets, swimsuits, terry towels, and of course, splashy floats. Here, we’re sharing our favorites of the year, from double-hearted to perfectly peach pool accessories. If this summer is anything like last, you’re going to want to hustle if you plan to purchase a new addition to your summer float collection, as these bad boys sell out fast.

MAYDE Crescent Beach Towel

A beach towel that isn’t covered in pattern and color is surprisingly hard to find, and this one is guaranteed to be a minimalist’s favorite. The black-and-white pattern is super plush and we’re loving the Turkish-style fringe.
