Yacht Rockin'
Monday, July 21, 2008The hot, hot heat is (finally) on which means boat bashes are a rockin'! Whether you're on the coast of Belize or the Detroit's island of Belle Isle, check twelve accessories to keep the nautical partiers a knockin'.
A - Don't be an ugly duckling and lounge in the water gracefully with this giant swan raft. Made of heavy duty vinyl, this raft is over six feet long - big enough for the fam, $40.
B - Here's the perfect skin rescue kit by Philosophy to keep you looking pretty and protected outdoors. With moisturizing 'Kiss Me' lip gloss, 'Supernatural' Lotion with spf 15 for sheer coverage and sun protection and ' Microdelivery' exfoliating face wash for after, $35.
C - Hot (and pricey) Louis shades are a fab fashion must for the yacht party (insert Jay-Z's 'Big Pimpin' here). Looks like a sweet vintage steal dipped in designer topping, Louis Vuitton Illusion Glitter sunglasses, $560.
D - Even if you're hanging in the gravel pit at Kensington, you can lay on the illusion of white sandy beaches with this towel, $14.99.
