You may still be recovering from various Memorial Day weekend getaways, but can we interest vous in your next vacation---on a Fendi yacht? Lady Lara, the custom 194-foot yacht decorated entirely by Fendi Casa, is one of the more ridiculously indulgent destinations we've seen in a long time. (Think gold, silver, mother of pearl, fur, crocodile, and slews of Swarovski crystals---and that's just the interior!) Click gallery for a full slideshow of the luxuriousness, but your little duffy boat might be jealous...

Karl Lagerfeld X DC Comics gloves
View Gallery

Chic considers Karl Lagerfeld a superhero in his own right, but this collaboration brings him that much closer to the real thing. DC Comics---yes, you read that right---has teamed up with the likes of the Kaiser for these gloves inspired by the Green Lantern, complete with an emerald-hued rock on the right hand. While we're partial to the gloves, that's not the end of DC's high-fashion streak: there's also Alexis Mabille for The Joker, Balmain and Lanvin for Batman, Sonia Rykiel and Maison Michel for Wonderwoman, Pierre Hardy and Julien David for Superman, Thierry Lasry for Plastic Man, Repetto for Flash, and Roger Vivier for Catwoman. See the gallery for Chic's top picks! THE DETAILS: Karl Lagerfeld X DC Comics gloves, $601, colette.com

Terence Koh, a dad? And just in time for Father's Day! If this Purple Diary entry from May 31 is to be believed (why wouldn't you announce a new child on Olivier Zahm's blog?), congratulations are in order for the artist with a flair for dramatic fashions:

Dear friends

He is coming back with me to New York this coming monday and I will announce plans to throw a party to welcome him to his new home soon. Much love from Beijing

Terence Koh

He certainly is a cute little one. Wonder if he'll share dad's fashion sense?

Did You Forget Your SPF?

Själ Kura Intuitif
View Gallery

We know, we know---we've shoved the "wear suncreen every day" mantra down your throats. (Not that there's anything wrong with that...by the way, are you wearing any today?) But considering the recent holiday weekend and the outdoor revelry that typically goes along with it, it's just a fact that some chicsters out there are nursing sunburns today. First, we have to say: we don't approve! But in the spirit of do-gooding, may we suggest an elixer? Själ Kura Intuitif is a deep hydration cream, used to aid in the repair of damaged, dry, and rehydrated skin with marine vascular complex, mulberry, bearberry, kojic acid, arnica and pearl powder. For the pink-skinned out there today, you'll thank us. And next time---well, you know. THE DETAILS: Själ Kura Intuitif, $255, www.sjalskincare.com

What's not to love about this orange caged bikini top ($105), paired with high-waisted matching bottom ($95)? We'll take two. THE DETAILS: Vplnyc.com/shop
