12 Must-See #WhatsinMyBeachBag Instagrams

We all have our go-to beach essentials: sandals, a cool towel, lots of sunscreen, a good read, music and maybe an adult beverage or two. And with all those summertime goods, it can be hard to fit everything you need into one little (or not-so-little) tote. The ultimate beach bag must carry everything you need for safety, style, beauty, sustenance, comfort and entertainment. Now that is no easy task. These 12 #whatsinmybeachbag Instagram posts know how to keep all the essentials contained for a stylish, sandy and sun-safe day.

1. Tropical Style: Just because you’re heading to the beach doesn’t mean you can’t look effortlessly stylish. Rock a tropical-inspired kimono and plenty of wood and shelled-out accessories to fit in with your surroundings. (via @mylittlenotebookblog)

2. Totes Adorbs Tote: Whatever you do, just make sure your suit is equally as stylish as your tote, and you will be good to go. Don’t forget that lipgloss and vodka shooter. (via @yfsphotography)

3. Nautical Chic: A chic white peasant dress, tortoise shades and a striped bikini? It doesn’t get much more classic than this. We imagine this gal is headed to the French riviera for some fun in the sun. (via @lindseyherzog)

4. Style + Fruit: Have pineapple, will travel. This beach-goer knows what’s up with her snacks, stylish reads, functional flats and sherbert-esque bikini. (via @beigerengade)

5. The Essentials: With a sun hat, shades and a good read, you can be the boss of any beach day. Just don’t forget that sunscreen! (via @saracmartin)

6. Stylin’ One-Piece: If you’ve got this ocean-inspired one-piece, you might not need anything else. Although the cool beach blanket and lipgloss couldn’t hurt. (via @despibeachwear)

7. Beach Couture: Whether you’re heading to Vegas or Ibiza, these essentials will bring the style with you. We want that quilted black leather hat. (via @millvilltrill)

8. Sombrero Hangin’: Why settle on a tiny sun hat when you can don a giant, sun-screening sombrero? Now all this beach-goer needs is a margarita in hand. (via @udarbegl)

9. Bright + Gilded: Bright colors and gold are kinda our thing. This gal’s beach bag is totally trendy. (via @arissalovesart)

10. Straw for Days: We spy with our little eyes The Roundie ($99)! Sometimes a bangin’ beach blanket is all the style you need for your sandy adventures. (via @islehrvrs)

11. Monogram Everything: Monogram everything is never a bad thing. And with those aviators, gilded sandals and oodles of sun protection, this beach lover is more than ready for some surf and sand. (via @qtpiekelso)

12. Beauty/Beach Bag: When you spend hours in the sun, you need ALL of those beauty products. Snacks and water are also must-haves! (via@ratitehrisingh)

The day Target swimsuits hit stores is the day I can feel myself becoming myself again. After all, summer is when I thrive! As the weather warms up (albeit slowly), it's time to shop all the Target swimsuits before the cutest ones sell out.

From one piece bathing suits to teeny, cheeky bikinis, the retailer's got their swimwear game on lock – and these 16 Target swimsuits prove it! From more modest swim dresses to spring break-worthy matching sets, scroll ahead for the best Target swimsuits of the season.

Target One Piece Swimsuits

Shade & Shore Shirred Ribbed Bandeau Cheeky One Piece Swimsuit

This one piece bandeau-style swimmy is giving major cool girl vibes. The soft, slightly ribbed material it's made out of is designed to hug your shape in the most flattering way, while the bust stays put with the help of a durable elastic band. If you don't exactly jive with the strapless look, this $25 style arrives with a set of detachable and adjustable straps.

This little number is also available in three other colors (black, blue, and pink) and you can shop it in sizes XS-XL now.​

Kona Sol Pucker Square Neck One Piece Swimsuit

If there's one thing about me, it's that I love a square neckline. They're universally flattering and provide your look with somethin' a little bit different than the rest!

That's exactly why this very marine-inspired green suit is perfect for poolside or the beach – the unique neckline will have heads turning left and right. Best of all? You'll feel comfortable and supported all day long, thanks to the sewn-in cups and the wide adjustable straps.

This $46 piece is truly timeless and will last you past this season and the next. Shop it in this gorgeous green or lavender or peach! It's now available in plus sizes 14-24.

Kona Sol Full Coverage Tummy Control Cap Sleeve U-Wire One Piece Swimsuit

This Target swimsuit comes complete with a tummy control feature that will undoubtedly make you look snatched, no matter where you are. I've never seen a style like this one, TBH, and I am obsessed – the slim cap sleeves and deep-diving notch on the neckline are just adorable, plus they add a feminine air to the look as a whole. You could even get away with wearing this as a bodysuit on dry land!

This berry-red color definitely speaks to the spring and summer seasons with beautiful vibrance. You can snag this $42 one piece in sizes XS-XL now!

Shade & Shore Twist-Front Plunge One Piece Swimsuit

This cute suit makes me want to singlehandedly bring back ombré fashion... The twisted front detail is enough to make it stand out from other styles, but that's not all this Target piece has to offer! The flipside of this swimmy features an open back that secures stylishly with a bow tie, allowing you to show some skin and simply get some sun. The plunging neckline definitely incorporates a flirty vibe to your vacay (or pool day) get-up.

This $36 piece is also shoppable in a rich brown color if ombré isn't for you. You can snag it in sizes XS-XL now.

Shade & Shore Square Neck Wide Binding One Piece Swimsuit

The white trim on this Target swimsuit delivers some serious vintage vibes, contrasting wonderfully with the mesmerizing green body. This number boasts medium-level coverage, so you can move about without worrying about an accidental slip or wardrobe blip. The fit is fairly straightforward, plus it's customizable with the addition of adjustable straps.

Add this pick to your cart for just $36! It's currently shoppable in sizes XS-XL.

Shade & Shore Mesh Front One Piece Swimsuit

Mesh is just that girl. The see-through cutouts on this Target swimsuit allow for a hint of mystery and sexiness... because, after all, you should feel sexy in your swimsuit! I think black is the perfect color to opt for when buying a suit because you can be confident it'll match with whatever else you're wearing at any point in time.

The mesh paneling on this one piece crosses back and forth across the front of the stomach, with the rest of the material being an opaque black. This suit is the perfect amount of spicy for when you want to look and feel your best by the pool or ocean.

Snag it for $40 in this deep black or a stark white color in sizes XS-XL today.

Wild Fable High Leg Cheeky Scoop Back One Piece Swimsuit

This one piece makes a play on traditional suits, instead hiking up the leg holes to elongate your legs and giving it a plunging open back to reveal some skin. It's fairly basic when it comes to the other Target swimsuits, but I think it works perfectly for those who aren't looking for extra bells and whistles.

There aren't any cups in this swimmy – just a convenient built-in shelf bra. It's fully lined and fitted with adjustable straps to find your ultimate fit! Shop it for just $20 in this eye-catching red or a basic black.

Shade & Shore Ribbed Plunge Front Cut Out One Piece Swimsuit

This has gotta be my favorite of all the hottest Target swimsuits this season. The triangular cutout that sits just above the tummy gives the illusion that this one piece is actually a two piece, but it's not as uncomfortable as a bikini in any way. The supportive high-waisted bottom half is extremely flattering (the high leg makes it extra-cheeky), while the ruched top has all the pizazz.

This $50 pick secures with a tie in the back, so you can land on a fit as tight or as loose as you like. The fact that it's shoppable in actual bra sizes is life-saving for a good fit, too! Find this floral design in sizes 34D-38DD.

Target Bikinis

Wild Fable Triangle Bikini Top + Side-Tie Scoop Front High Leg Adjustable Bikini Bottoms

It seems this season is all about the high leg! High leg silhouettes like this will def make those beautiful legs look longer and luscious. This strappy bikini set with a tie-back triangle top and adjustable, tied bottoms is very straightforward compared to most traditional suits, but that doesn't mean it's bland! The electric purple colorway makes this pick instantly attractive. If purple just isn't the vibe, you can also shop it in black, red, or green!

Both pieces of this two piece are $12, making the entire look an accessible total of $24. The purple shade is now shoppable in sizes XXS-XL!

Shade & Shore Shirred Ribbed Bralette Bikini Top + Ribbed Hipster Bikini Bottoms

This sporty set is living in my head rent-free. For those that prefer not to fuss with excessive ties, clasps, or buttons, each piece of this bikini is super easy to put on – with just a singular clasp at the back of the top. Plus, no underwires or bulky cups to mess with! The shirred v-neck top also features adjustable straps, so finding a length that feels right isn't a challenge. The bottoms are more of a low-rise vibe.

Each piece in this set is $15, so your whole look will set you back $30. You can find this style in black, brown, or pink, too. Shop it in sizes XS-XL today!

Wild Fable Center Front U-Wire Bandeau Bikini Top + Scoop Front Ultra Cheeky Ultra High Leg Pieced Bikini Bottoms

I simply cannot get enough florals! I love the more abstract, color-blocked design on this Target bikini.

The top hugs your bod in the most loving way, securing in the back with a wide-strapped bow tie. It also comes ready with detachable, adjustable straps for the pool days you'd prefer to have more support up top. The flirtly little u-shaped wire detail is the cherry on top for me, TBH! The bottoms are equally cheeky (literally showing some cheek, if you know what I mean), but soooo adorable for sunning.

The top is $18 while the bottoms are $15. All together, this colorful look costs $33 and is available in sizes XXS-XL now.

Shade & Shore Underwire Ruffle Trim Bikini Top + Ruffle Cheeky Bikini Bottoms

I highly recommend buying a white swimsuit if you're jetting off to a coastal vacation. The clean color will match perfectly with a blue water beach! 

This flirty n' femme bikini set begins with a stunning ruffled top that's supported nicely by a discreet underwire. The top (with cute crossed straps in the back) secures behind you with a simple tie, while the bottoms flaunt ruffled trim on all sides. The bum ​also​ has some very flattering ruching running down the middle to accentuate your figure! This is one highly Instagrammable suit.

This Target swimsuit ($43 for both pieces) is shoppable by bra sizes, now available in sizes ranging from 32A to 38DD. The sizing for the bottoms ranges from XS-XL!​

Shade & Shore Longline Keyhole Halter Bikini Top + Strappy High Leg Extra Cheeky Bikini Bottoms

I am fully here for the keyhole design on this suit. The fact that you don't have to layer it yourself every time you go to wear it is super helpful, too! The top on this bright orange bikini fits snugly on your bust, securing in the back with a basic clasp. The strappy bottoms feature a playful tie-back accent that can be styled a handful of different ways!

This suit also follows bra sizing, now available in sizes 32B-38DD. The bottoms vary slightly, following a XS-L size range. All together, this electric look totals $48.​

Target Swim Dresses

Swim 365 Plus Size Princess-Seam Swim Dress

This vibrant pattern is everything! Dip your toes into the tropical vibe this summer with this Target swim dress that fits like a glove. It's lined on the inside with a durable, stretchy material that also provides some favorable tummy control, if you're looking for it. The hem hits at your upper thigh, so this suit is still super youthful and ready for any adventure!

Shop this pick in sizes 8-34 for about $67 now.

Swimsuits For All Plus Size Tiered Swim Dress

The tiered look on this swim dress make it a bit more sophisticated for sitting by the ocean or playing in the pool! No matter what you're up to, you can trust that this suit will stay put, thanks to its comfy mesh lining. The scoop neck silhouette shows off your arms and collarbone in the most flattering way.

This $89 pick isn't sold in stores, but you can snag it online in sizes 10-26!

Swimsuits For All Plus Size High Neck Wrap Swim Dress

The crossing neck straps on this style are adorable and add an air of elegance to your swim look! Not to mention, this blue and purple colorway is making me wanna book a flight to Hawaii, ASAP. This tummy-controlling swim dress is lightly lined with mesh on the undersize so you won't feel too engulfed in the water-friendly fabric.

Snag this $86 pick that'll last you season after season online only in sizes 8-26.

Whether you're cooking one for Passover or just to pass around your dinner table, a solid brisket recipe is a must-have in your repertoire. And while this brick of beef can seem intimidating, we've got you covered with a fool-proof (and delicious) recipe. You see, Brit+Co's very own President, Matthew Schulte, boasts a fantastic brisket, so we had to ask him what he does to make the magic happen. His mom's recipe was a little too watery and he loves Italian, so this recipe is a bit of a blur between classic Osso Buco and the tried and true Jewish tradition. Luckily for us — and you! — he sent along every thoughtful detail. So, without further ado, here's our favorite brisket recipe!

Brisket Recipe Ingredients:

Prep time: 20 mins
Oven time: 7-8 hours. Low and slow!

  • 1 Dutch OvenLe Crueset preferred, but not required 😉
  • 4-5 lbs of flat cut brisket (brisket reduces as it cooks, so this accounts for 1/2 lbs per person and a 20-30% reduction)
  • 1 small can of tomato paste
  • 1 large can of chopped tomatoes
  • 1 1/4 cup of a full bodied red wine (Matthew recommends something Italian)*
  • 1 32 oz beef broth, or enough to cover your vegetables
  • 4 whole, peeled cloves of garlic
  • 2 Vidalia onions, cut into large pieces
  • 3 shallots, diced
  • 8+ peeled carrots — the more the merrier, but 2 per person for sure
  • Fresh chopped thyme
  • Fresh chopped oregano

Brisket Recipe Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 250 degrees.
  2. Heavily salt, pepper, and thyme your brisket. (Both sides)
  3. Set your stove to high heat, sear your brisket for 5 minutes on each side in the dutch oven. Remove from the dutch oven when done.
  4. Lower the heat on your stovetop and add little beef broth to deglaze your dutch oven.
  5. Keep the heat low and add your shallots and garlic. Sweat those for 1-2 minutes.
  6. As the shallots and onions sweat, separately add tomato paste and smooth all over the brisket with the fat side down, keeping the paste is on top of the meat. Add some thyme to that once done.
  7. Add carrots and herbs to the shallots and garlic. Sweat the veggies for 4 more minutes.
  8. Add onions to veggies, and prepare the base for the meat to rest on top.
  9. Pour in 1 cup of wine and increase the heat to bring the mixture to a boil.
  10. Add in enough beef broth so it covers most of the veggies.
  11. Add the brisket (with tomato paste facing up) back to the dutch oven on top of the veggies.
  12. Add the diced tomatoes.
  13. Bring to boil and cover. After that, you can put it in the oven.
  14. Check meat in 3 hours — be sure it doesn't need more liquid, and add in more if it does.
  15. Check meat again in 2 hours — this is now the fifth consecutive hour in the oven.
  16. Increase the oven temperature to 300 degrees for the last 2 hours, and add some beef broth (or wine if needed).
  17. Take the meat out and slice against grain — it's likely going to fall apart.
  18. Put your brisket back in the oven for last 30 mins to an hour.
  19. Voila! It's ready to serve.

As no stranger to sifting through books to read and round up, it suddenly dawned on me that R.L. Stine's Fear Street series helped introduce me to the brilliance that are short story collections. There were several endearing elements about friendships in those books that I loved, but the horror and thriller aspects kept me on the edge of my seat. Now that I'm older (and more well-read), I realize that R.L. Stein isn't the only one killing the short story game — there are so many other talented authors who have unique and gripping tales to tell outside of novels.

I'd obviously be remiss if I didn't share some of the stunning short story collections I've found since then. Here are 7 amazing short stories that will have you edge of your seats, so be sure to grab your reading journal to jot them down! From learning how to love someone in spite of their flaws, reclaiming your life after heartache, and facing your fears before they swallow you completely, these stories truly have it all.

Short Story Collections To Read Right Now

No Diving Allowed by Louise Marburg

What lies beneath the surface of a pool's shimmery surface? It's something Louise Marburg seeks to answer with three short story collections in No Diving Allowed.

Two brothers are seemingly unable to move past tension that's followed them since their childhood in "Identical" and it's revealed how much this has taken a toll on them. On the other hand, "Let Me Stay With You" shows how assumptions can paint a negative picture of someone that's not true while "Minor Thefts" shines a glaring light on one family's drama.

The people found in this story are imperfect, but love still finds a way to help them stay afloat.

Have Mercy On Us by Lisa Cupolo

Have Mercy On Us is similar to No Diving Allowed, but the stories found in its pages focus more on people who are fighting to live a life that's meaningful to them. From an older man who's determined to rescue his son in Kenya to a woman who decides she's not going to let her spouse's infidelity crush her, these stories will change the way you look at love and forgiveness. You'll also feel a renewed call to choose how you want to live your life.

What It Means When a Man Falls from the Sky by Lesley Nneka Arimah

Short story collections are meant to grab your attention and sometimes they break your heart because their message is received long before their tale ends.

You'll meet a woman whose desperation for a child causes her to make a drastic decision, two teens who truly begin to see each other in a new light, and more characters who must come to terms with the roles they've taken on.

It'll only be a matter of time before you find yourself reaching for a few tissues while reading this book.

The Rock Eatersby Brenda Peynado

Brenda Peynado explores the relationship people have with being considered an outsider and how far people are willing to go for those they love. Whether from a personal or political standpoint, the characters you'll come across will make you shake your head in disbelief and have hope for them at the same time. You'll come across families who believe that worshipping angels is the answer to their prayers in one story and children whose ability to fly causes them to have a very close relationship with rocks.

There's hints of magic, mysticism, and the human ability weaved throughout each tale that we know you'll love.

The Thing Around Your Neckby Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie has a beautiful way with words that makes it easy to get lost in her world. She uses The Thing Around Your Neck to help explain how men and women are more connected than they think, and she also explores the relationship parents have with their children.
It's a beautiful telling of how worlds can collide and whether it's worth trying to find common ground between two seemingly opposing things.

What Is Not Yours Is Not Yoursby Helen Oyeyemi

How do you handle the keys in your life and what would people find if they used them to unlock the doors they're designed for? In What Is Not Yours Is Not Yours, four sets of keys determine the fates of two lovers, someone who purposely closed themselves off from others, a mysterious house filled with locks, and a magical diary that's full of things that shouldn't be unlocked.

Four Past Midnight by Stephen King

You may want to read Four Past Midnight early in the morning because these short story collections are sure to give you nightmares. Four stories — One Past Midnight, Two Past Midnight, Three Past Midnight, and Four Past Midnight — make up the pages of Four Past Midnight and each of them are filled with horrifying scenarios that'll make your imagination run wild.
In One Past Midnight, a family finds themselves among a group of people who survive a terrifying plane experience only to realize their terror has just begun when they reach land again.
Two Past Midnight follows writer Mort Rainey's sad life as he deals with the fallout of his marriage in Tashmore Lake. He doesn't think things can get any worse until an imposing man named John Shooter starts making threats that take an evil turn.
Three Past Midnight details Sam Peebles' attempt to figure out what's going on in his mind and if he can stop what's threatening to come out before it's too late.
Four Past Midnight introduces readers to what happens when one man — Old Pop Merrill — decides to try to exploit a supernatural force he doesn't understand for profit.

2023 proved to be one of the best years in television history, and one new TV show that everyone was talking about was The Bear. Not only did it provide even higher career stakes for all of our favorite chefs, but it also deepened the relationships, connections, and heart the first season gave us. I can't wait to see how The Bear season 3 takes the drama a step further — and hopefully brings in a slew of guest stars that rivals season 2's "Fishes" episode. The Bear season 3 is officially coming summer 2024! Here's everything you need to know about the new installment. Yes, chef!

Who's going to be in The Bear season 3 cast?

Image via FX/YouTube

You can expect all your favorite The Bear cast members to return for season 3, including Jeremy Allen White, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Lionel Boyce, Liza Colón-Zayas, Abby Elliott, Matty Matheson, and Ayo Edebiri. And it's official: fan favorite guest star Will Poulter will be back for season 3 too!

Jeremy Allen White also told Deadlinethat he'd love to see another episode where “we can get as many (guest stars) to come back for one day,” just like the chaotic family Christmas episode of The Bear season 2.

Erin Jones on TikTok makes the fantastic point that bringing in another chef, possibly one from Carmy's past life, that shows interest in Sydney could help steer the romantic side of the show because it could help Carmy realize he likes her. I, for one, am totally here for Sydney x Carmy endgame, and while it's still up in the air, you simply cannot deny that Jeremy Allen White and Ayo Edebiri have incredible chemistry. (And I am still waiting on Ayo Edebiri to star in a romantic comedy!!)

Did The Bear win any SAG Awards?

Image via FX/Hulu

The Bear once again won big at the 2024 SAG Awards, winning for Comedy Series Ensemble, Male Actor in a Comedy Series, and Female Actor in a Comedy Series. During our Q+A with Inside Out 2's Ayo Edebiri, she mentioned the biggest lesson she's learned from Sydney is to embrace good lessons — not just the hard parts of life.

"You don't need to learn lessons from hard things or bad things, it's equally as important to learn them in wonderful moments, [even if] it sometimes might feel hard to," she says. Check out our interview here!

When is The Bear season 3 coming out?

Image via FX/Hulu

Seasons 1 and 2 of The Bear filmed in February and premiered in June of 2022 and 2023, respectively.FX announced in late 2023 that a third installment of the hit TV was coming, with a promise that it'd hit screens before the end of 2024 – and they will deliver on this timeline!

According to Variety, FX chairman John Landgraf confirmed a more concrete release date for the series during a presentation at the Television Critics Association’s winter 2024 press tour. He said that The Bear season 3 will come out in June of 2024.

Due to the show's natural "anxiety-inducing" nature, Landgraf said that all of the episodes forThe Bear season 3 will release on one day (like season 2), rather than a weekly schedule.

"We made a decision to drop the whole thing because it has a beautiful, uplifting ending,” he detailed.

During the 2024 SAG Awards, Matty Matheson let us know that filming for season 3 is going "really well."

"It's just heads down, full hearts," he says. "We're just back in Chicago, weather's kind of nice. Big scripts, big scenes, cameras are on and we're ready." Until we get to see The Bear season 3, feel free to rewatch seasons 1 and 2 on Hulu — I know I will!

What is The Bear season 3 about?

Image via FX

In an interview with Variety, Jeremy Allen White revealed that after all of season 2 focused on Carmy and the gang opening a brand new restaurant, The Bear season 3 will feel more aligned with season 1.

"Now, in the third season, I think we’re going to go back to that functioning kitchen atmosphere that we had in the first," White said in the interview.

Now that the staff of The Bear has finished opening the restaurant, they're able to just run it!

"In January, I’m going to spend a fair amount of time getting together with some chefs," White continued. "There’ll be a menu set, I believe, that’s going to be for the restaurant in the third season. And I know that I’m going to start putting together that menu with different chefs and cooking and just trying to get prepared to do more of that stuff on camera."

Who are the Faks in The Bear?

Image via FX/Hulu

The Faks are family friends of the Berzattos. The two Faks we know best are the hilarious brothers Neil (Matty Matheson) and Theodore (Ricky Staffieri). Neil is always around to help Carmy and the gang fix something (because, naturally, something is always broken) and we hope he's around a lot more for The Bear season 3!

Did The Bear win any Emmy Awards?

Image via FX/Hulu

Yes, The Bear won a bunch of Emmys this past year, including: Outstanding Comedy Series, Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series for Jeremy Allen White, Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series for Ebon Moss-Bachrach, and Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for Ayo Edebiri.

Who plays Carmen's mom in The Bear season 2?

Image via FX/YouTube

Natalie and Carmy's mom, Donna (who you can see in the season 2 episodes "The Fishes" and "The Bear"), is played by Academy Award winner, Jamie Lee Curtis.

Why is Carmy called Bear?

Image via FX/Hulu

Carmy's last name is Berzatto, so multiple family members are called different forms of "Bear" as a family nickname or term of endearment (like "Sugar Bear" or "Mikey Bear"). Carmy is most frequently referred to as just "Bear," and decides to name his restaurant The Bear.
