It's August, which means that summer is drawing to a close. Are your end of the season getaway plans all in order yet? Where are you off to -- maybe the beach, or camping? Or are you (or a loved one) getting ready to go off to school? If so, make sure you pack a towel.

And if you want a truly functional towel, you should probably check out the Towelini.

Is this the world's most fashionable swimsuit cover up? Nope. But wait until you see what it can do. Instead of having to carry your towel around in your beach tote (not to mention dig around in your tote to find your beach cover up), the Towelini functions as your towel and your cover up. The long straps tie around your body, so it can be worn as a sarong or like a robe.

It comes in fun, bright colors, is made of soft organic cotton, and sells for $32.95. Aside from use at the beach or pool, we think it would be wicked handy for showering in the gym locker room or for girls going to camp or college and having to share a communal bathroom. What do you think?
