Chic's favorite thing about New York summers? The heat. (Yes, really, despite our complaints.) Our least favorite part about New York summers? The tendancy for the skies to open up at any moment. We've learned by now that it's necessary to keep umbrellas stashed partout—home, office, purse—and we may have to trade in one of our broken drugstore varieties for this bright and beautiful Color Wheel style. The best part? Twenty-four panels of color means it will match any ensemble you can dream up. THE DETAILS: MoMA Color Wheel umbrella,  $40 ($32 for members), www.momastore.org

Cinch and Stack

Chic Report typically employs the roll method when packing various belts, but if you're looking for a way to switch things up, then Hermès has a solution. This travel belt uses silver rivets to attach sections of the belt together, so when you're done, you simply fold it up and stash it away. What do you think, darlings—is "stackable" a quality you look for when ceinture shopping—or are the chic silver accents and Hermès label enough to sell you? THE DETAILS: Hermès travel belt, 580€, available in July.

Tori Praver turns 24 today, and there are plenty of reasons of why you should remember this San Diego-native’s name. She recently made a splash at the Grand Palais in Cannes, permanently moved to New York (her family and friend base is still in Hawaii, where she grew up) and she continues work on her successful swimwear collection. After debuting at Miami Swim last year, Praver will once again showcase her collection in South Beach in July. “I wanted to create designs that are more democratic in a way---I love when mother and daughter both wear my product,” she says of her line. “I want my line to appeal to both young girls and more mature women.” And so far, it’s working: Intermix, Alice + Olivia, Scoop and the Webster have all picked up her pieces.

It's time for Pierre Rougier to update his website---again. The PR Consulting flack did remember to remove Balenciaga from his client list after the brand ended their relationship...but he's still claiming to represent Phi, which shuttered its operations last December. True, his roster was current "As of January 2007."

Remember when Karl Lagerfeld's runway was overtaken by helmet-sporting catwalkers? Turns out the helmets in question---which came in rabbit and pearl-encrusted versions in addition to the classic tweed---were a collaboration with helmet manufacturer Ruby, and the Kaiser's not the only one to get on board. Maison Martin Margiela's Ruby helmet is available now at Aloha Rag. It's covered in drawings inspired by the graffiti on the actual Maison's window. There are only 600 of these available worldwide, so we say pick yours up now---whether you're a biker babe or not! THE DETAILS: Martin Margiela Ruby helmet, $1,195, www.aloharag.com

The Marc-ification of the West Village will continue this winter with the tentatively-titled BookMarc bookstore (in the former location of Biography Book Shop, which has relocated) on Bleecker Street. But if Marc’s site is any indication, you can get your sneak peek now. Chic can only assume there will be actual books as well, but BookMarc colored pencils, tins, and various other school supplies are all labeled with the clever name. The only problem? The projected winter 2010 open date. Where will the little chicsters check off their school supply lists come September? THE DETAILS: BookMarc tin case, $8, recycled pencil set, $9, available at Marc by Marc Jacobs stores
