WILLIAMSBURG—The sun is out, the temps are up, and swimsuit season is right on top of us. For those of us who find the process more than a tad bit daunting, swimwear maven Malia Mills—famed for her all-embracing and non-intimidating designs—will be opening up a pop-up shop in Bird Williamsburg on June 11th. If you're still feeling apprehensive, perhaps it will help to hear that Malia and her team will helpfully be on hand to help with fittings. Plus, there's nothing like a mimosa (or two, or three) to take the edge off. The opening festivities run from 12pm to 3pm on June 11th. [Racked Wire]

REDHOOK—Nothing says summer like a steaming plate of Swedish meatballs. In the spirit of the big Swedish Midsummer holiday, Ikea will be running special product discounts in between our big summer holidays—Memorial Day to Fourth of July. But the real shindig is on June 17th when the retailer will treat customers to the wonders of Swedish cuisine with smorgasboard Midsummer buffet. Maybe they'll even bust out a maypole. [Racked Wire]
