The high cost of a beach day
It's not exactly beach weather today, but I'm daydreaming about warm, sunny surf, and naturally my mind drifts toward accessories. Beach towels are creeping up near $500 this summer. You can still pick up a SpongeBob towel for $10 at Target, but this Hermes towel is (hold onto your trunks) $470. Who am I kidding, I'd still like to get my paws on it.
If you're looking for a bargain, this Pucci towel can be had for $285 at Barneys New York. But I'm sorry, it's just not as much fun as the Hermes elephant.
