Missoni is certainly on a collaboration kick lately. After a wildly successful collection at Target, the knitwear brand is working with Converse for the fifth time! This time around, they’re transforming the sneaker brand’s famous Chuck Taylor All Stars in two women’s silhouettes with its signature zig-zag raschel knit in green or white. The revamped footwear features silver and gold metallic detailing in the uppers along with white leather rands and toe wrap. The unisex version comes in the multi-stitch, space-dyed fabric in navy and white. Both versions include premium leather on the tongue, logo, heel tabs and toecap. These shoes are perfect for the season, so expect them to sell out fast.

Jennifer Lopez is bonafide sex symbol, but she upped the ante for her new video for “Dance Again.” She shakes it alongside Pitbull to a pulsing beat in the clip that premiered on last night’s American Idol. In one scene, she plays hide and seek with boyfriend Casper Smart in a silver-studded turtle midriff top and leggings from Norma Kamali’s Spring 2012 collection. The Idol judge also sets the scene with a Kiki de Monteparnasse Love Is Blind blindfold. What a way to heat things up!

Barbie is on a mission to paint the White House pink. Today she announced she’s throwing her hat into this year’s presidential election as the new 2012 Barbie I Can Be… President doll. Chris Benz, who has outfitted First Lady Michelle Obama, crafted a stylishly smart pencil suit in Barbie’s signature shade for her to wear on the campaign trail. The doll comes complete with pearls, a campaign button and a pair of sling back wedges that help stabilize her so she can stand on her own, just like any other political figure.

As the encouraging voice of the B Party, her platform calls all girls to “B Inspired,’ “B, informed,” and, “B Involved.” Though this is her fifth run for president, she hasn’t given up on the chance to motivate girls to let their voices be heard through her partnership with The White House Project. Benz believes that Barbie’s extensive resume makes her the perfect role model and candidate.

“There’s this concept that we love with Barbie of ‘role play to real play’ where, subconsciously, if you acted out being a vet, maybe that will make the path of becoming a vet easier in your adult life,” he explained. “In terms of running for president, I think it consciously and subconsciously makes the path a bit easier for people to do that.”

Available at major retailers nationwide in June for $13.99.

I first noticed the body-positive movement around Tumblr last year from blogger Jessica, who “encourages body positivity by being as visible as possible and demanding respect and dignity for people of all shapes and sizes.” What drew me to the movement is that it accepts all bodies and promotes loving your body no matter what—through thick and thin (pun intended), in sickness and in health. The movement promotes loving every body, not just socially acceptable body types like curvy and thin. You have only one body to take you through this life—why waste any more time hating it? Here are ways to start getting positive and loving your body.

1. Be yourself, whatever your size, color, religion, gender, age, race, or sexual orientation. Don’t make apologies for yourself. Believe in the righteousness of your cause. Believe that hate helps nobody.

2. Understand that you’re beautiful. Understand that people who criticize your body—or my body or Kelly Clarkson’s—can’t take that away from you. Understand that a lot of people are hateful and they don’t reflect on you, and they shouldn’t affect you.

3. Let go of fear. Don’t let fear keep you from living your life the way you want to. Don’t be afraid to put on spandex and go to the gym. Don’t be afraid to order the cheesecake. Don’t be afraid to use the word fat … don’t be silent. Don’t allow yourself to be marginalized.

4. Bring body positivity and size-acceptance issues into your communities: LGBT, yoga, science fiction—whatever you can think of.

5. Create body-positive art. Be a performer, a dancer, a cheerleader, a magnet maker, a photographer, a model, a poet, a painter, a T-shirt designer, a songwriter, a novelist.
