Giveaway: Summer's Last Splash

By this time in the summer, beach towels are tattered, sun hats are lost, and the cooler’s seen better days. Voilá our Summer’s Last Splash Giveaway (enter here), which includes everything you’ll need to refresh your warm-weather essentials and ride out the rest of the season in style.

We’ve put together a collection of beach-chic favorites to replenish your weekend staples, from Carlos Falchi’s must-have tote to a 32GB iPod Touch to a Tracy Reese towel. The winner will be able to get lost in the world of The Island, the latest addictive page-turner by queen of the summer beach-read Elin Hilderbrand, while staying protected by classic Chloé sunglasses and a perfectly floppy sun hat by Hat Attack. And what’s a summer day without cold refreshments? Picnic at Ascot’s ingenious collapsible, insulated cooler is a no-stress way to make the party portable. Enter here for your chance to win this gathering of goodies that will keep you fabulously accessorized long after the sun has set on the season.

And to get you in the mood for eternal sunshine, here’s an excerpt from Elin Hilderbrand’s The Island:

“Once they were in Madaket, Tate’s heart started to settle, like a dog on its Canvas Orvis bed, like a baby in its quilted Moses basket. She had crisscrossed the United States of America dozens of times with little expectation or fanfare, but the mere sight of Madaket Harbor, sparkling blue and green in the July sun, smelling salty and swampy, and presenting itself exactly as she remembered it when she was last here at seventeen years old, was turning Tate to jelly. Home!”
