As a city showered in brilliant sunshine year-round, it's no wonder some of the most stylish and well-designed sunglasses are created right here in L.A.

So, in case you missed it or forgot where to make that happen, here's a friendly reminder of our top 16 beachside bars and restaurants. More»

Although nothing like yesterday's completely insane temperatures, it looks like today will be the last of the raging heat wave and we encourage you to take advantage by heading for the coastline. We're not suggesting you ditch work or school for a full day at the beach, but maybe just get close enough to one for this evening's sunset over food or drinks or perhaps a lunch date. To help you make this happen, we've rounded up of our favorite spots for boozing at dining by the beach, from Malibu to Marina del Rey. Whether for beach day grub or post-workday drinks, check out L.A.'s 16 best beachside bars and restaurants. More»

Following an absolute scorcher of a weekend, L.A.'s going to be even hotter today, with less stifling but still warm temperatures carrying pretty much through the week. We hope you found a way to enjoy the "summerlike" conditions of the last few days with something involving a beach and encourage you to head for the coast while they last. You may not be able to ditch work or school for a full day at the beach, but you can at least get close enough to one at some point to appreciate it, specifically over food or drinks.

But where are the leaping dolphins glistening in the sun above the horizon?! And no rainbow? Guess we're just going to have to complete that perfection this weekend.
Greg Chait is probably not a name you're familiar with. However, after last night's CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Awards dinner, he joined the likes of Alexander Wang, Joseph Altuzzara, and Derek Lam, becoming the fund's 2012 winner. In addition to earning the prestigious title, Chait walked away with a $300,000 prize, beating out 9 other finalists including shoe designer Tabitha Simmons as well as jewelry designer and wife of Toby Maguire, Jennifer Meyer, who were named runners up and walked away with $100,000. So just who is Greg Chait and what is his label, The Elder Statesman all about? Check out today's Style Phile and make sure you know what to bring up at tonight's dinner table! More»
