Pool Party, Baby! 4 Fun Items for Summer in Sonoma
Everybody into the pool! Maximize your poolside comfort and enjoyment with these seasonal Sonoma finds.
PIZZA FLOAT
Why not be a topping on your favorite pizza, in this case one that floats on a pool or lake? This playfully designed floatie can connect with other rafts to make up a whole pie. Alone, this inflatable is a slice of heaven. But, linked together with seven other friends, floating blissfully on the water? That’s amore.
$60, Pool Mart, 16721 Sonoma Highway, Sonoma, 707-996-6213
“DREAMTIME” TOWEL
Circle back to your place in the sun with this unique round towel by Australian design duo The Beach People. Made of 100 percent cotton, this 5-foot-diameter towel is available in several abstract, nature-inspired prints. Who said you can’t reinvent the rectangle?
$110, Nomad Chic, 23588 Arnold Drive, Sonoma, 415-381- 9087, nomadchic.mx
GLASS HALF FULL
A poolside drink might be just what the sun ordered, but shattered glass on concrete is not what your bare feet had in mind. You don’t need to choose between your favorite glassware and a shatterproof tumbler, thanks to this acrylic goblet by Juliska. A perfect vessel for lemonade or sangria.
$16, Summer Vine, 100 W. Spain St., Sonoma, 707-933- 8810
KEEP IT CLEAN
Juice Beauty’s SPF 30 Sport Sunscreen is good for what it doesn’t have (parabens, phthalates and other usual suspects) and good for what it does have (vitamins C & E). The zinc oxide-based sport lotion is formulated with coconut and jojoba and is water-resistant up to 80 minutes. Rock this bottle, not a sunburn.
