GIVEAWAY | Upstate Sarong
I am such a fan of Brooklyn-based Upstate and their hand-dyed wares, I have one of their kimonos and constantly get compliments when I wear it. Their clothing and accessories just add that perfect pop of rich color and pattern. So, I can't think of a better accessory to bridge the gap from summer to fall than one of their raw silk sarongs ($225), which can be used as a beach sarong, beach towel, a scarf, a picnic blanket, bed cover, whatever you want! It's super multi-functional, 44" x 76", and we love each one of the seven colors they come in.
To enter to win a sarong of your choice: leave a comment below and tell us how you'd wear it or use it, and take a peek at the Upstate Instagram feed while you're at it—cool stuff going over there. Winner will be picked at random tomorrow (9/16) at 6:30pm PST. Good luck!
***The winner is: Cait who said "Beautiful! I would wear it as a wrap skirt all summer. I haven't had a sarong since I was a little kid. Perfect for New Zealand Summer". E-mail me: lizzie(at)gmail(dot)com!***

a blanket on my bed while my lover and I cuddle up,
a scarf in the cold... Possibilities are endless, to be honest.
I would absolutely use it on the beach as a sun shade, a lovely indigo scarf, picnic blanket, couch blanket... Maybe a sarong occasionally.

1. As the roof to a cushion fort
2. As a blanket when it gets chilly on planes, and in cinemas
3. As a disguise to throw over my head when I see my ex boyfriend walking down the street towards me
4. And obviously...I'd wear it all the time, take it to the beach, park etc

Although I would also use as cover up on sunny balcony. Lovely!
I would also use as a chic scarf to wear during the winter when I bike commute to remind me that summer is always around the corner.
Love you blog! Love the scarves!
I love Upstate's use of traditional Japanese Shibori techniques re-invented in a fabulous way, and would revel in the opportunity to retire my well-loved pashmina and make an Upstate sarong my newest all-purpose travel piece!!!
The second image would look awesome on my grassy hill or equally great at the beach.
They're beautiful.
I would make a head wrap out of it for fall and winter as well as wear it as a skirt with a nice button up white blouse.
I will wrap the silken sarong around my hips - throw on my husbands white oxford - slip on my birks and step onto the dock, as the evening sky fills with flickering lights.
Cooling by day - and warmth by night.
