Packing for a beach getaway is all about strategy. In order to be the belle of the beach, there’s three important pieces you must have. First you need a bag. It has to hold a towel, sunscreen, a change of clothes — and yet still be chic enough to impress. Then, you need a suit to give you the best tan lines. And finally, a cover-up that will take you from the sand to the streets. My beach essentials include a cool cotton tunic to wear over my suit during a chic mid-day lunch, a colorful swimsuit to make my winter-paled skin appear somewhat tan, and a sturdy yet stylish tote to carry all the necessities from day to night. Whether you’re planning a beach vacation, an open-water sailing trip, or a relaxing weekend by the pool, take a cue from the Spring runways, and choose your swim wardrobe with vivid hues, classic whites, and easy, versatile shapes. For some of my favorite pieces on sale now, check out the beach boutique on Rue La La today.

- Ahola! Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez are on vacay together! Biebs and Selena decided to take a much needed rest and went to Hawaii. They both deserve a romantic get-a-way and we bet they're surfing, tanning, and taking long walks on the beach. Aw, have fun you two! (people)

There might be no other accessory that manages to be both consistently elegant and strong as the driving glove. Luckily enough, designer Richard Chai has taken a new spin on the glove with a collaboration with Acura. The gloves are in fact, also inspired by Thor. In the film, S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents drive Acura cars, wearing sleek black suits reminiscent of Chai’s menswear, merging fashion and lifestyle one step closer. The Richard Chai x Acura black leather gloves, in fact, use a handsome pattern mimicking the car’s curves and interior. As a perfect Father’s Day gift, we can’t wait to get our hands on them. The gloves will sell for $225 at Odin New York beginning in June. ELLE caught up with Chai to get more details on the backstory.

- We knew a lot of fans were upset when they heard that Jennifer Lawrence would play Katniss Everdeen in the highly anticipated movie adaptation of The Hunger Games. We love Jennifer and never doubted that she would be perfect for the role, in fact, our love for her as Katniss was confirmed when she showed off her new, amazing brown locks. She looks just how we imagined Katniss! What do you guys think, can you imagine Jennifer as Katniss now? Do you prefer her as a blonde or a brunette?

Any layperson would agree: Jennifer Lopez’ legs are pretty much the stuff of dreams. To that end, Venus recently challenged a group of online media to achieve goddess gams like those of their global ambassador, Lopez, by organizing a group leg-toning session with trainer to the stars Tracy Anderson.

Over the next week, Seoul-based journalist Michael Reyes will be tapping us into the most important Korean designers. An affinity for marrying distinctly Korean aesthetics with a sharp mastery of technical skill, the label that bares the designer’s name shatters the enigma of Korean creativity. Lie Sang Bong is arguably the most internationally recognized Korean designer and his influences range from Korean art, pottery, calligraphy, the peninsula’s breathtaking scenery and cultural treasures; notably its remarkable written system “Hangeul.”

Running away and joining the circus is an escape for some, but for Carrie Parry, it was inspiration. “Each season we traveled from town to town through the English countryside. It’s difficult to describe what it’s like to wake up surrounded by Russian Cossacks and acrobats, clowns, musicians, and jugglers—and then getting to work with them, and then getting to know them as people and as friends,” remembers the Los Angeles-born, New York-based designer. It’s just one of the many things that influence Parry’s timeless-with-a-twist designs for her eponymous label, which launches this fall.
