After Selena Gomez’s flirty pink gown at the 2017 Met Gala, all eyes have been on Coach. The brand’s Creative Director, Stuart Vevers, is continuing that fun-loving, féte-ready mood for Resort—with a slew of designs that are perfect for work, play, and every single party in between.

Denim is given a spirited spin with embroidered patches, scallop lace trim, front seam detailing on retro-inspired jeans, and a barely-there cutoff and jacket combo that we wish we could wear right now.

My affinity for Coach shoes started in high school and I’m happy to report that I’m definitely looking to pick that love back up for the season. I’ve been all about booties in 2017 and the collection is brimming with them. When paired with shearling vests, wispy printed frocks, patch-emblazoned leather jackets, fuzzy sweaters, and mini dresses, Vevers demonstrates their versatility more than a few times over.

Bags are inarguably the things the brand is best known for and they did not disappoint. Colorblock leather, star-accented suede, flap fronts, mini sizes, and stud embellishment are all on the agenda.

As is requisite for real-time wear when the collection hits stores, outerwear is strong, yet simple enough to meet every person’s style proclivities. Puffer vests, classic solid coats, sumptuous shearlings, and 70’s chic leathers make a powerful, yet pared-down statement.

Sasha Lane, Chloe Moretz, Hari Nef, and Rowan Blanchard are all fans of the brand, thus I’m certain each and every one of them are already clamoring to slip into the designs at hand. A star-print mini dress seems like just the piece for the former Girl Meets World actress, while a sheer-hem LBD would be just the thing to show off the aforementioned model’s mile-long legs.

Zawe Ashton was pretty in pink at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition Preview Party across the pond, clad in a $1,838 Roksanda Hillevi Hammered Silk Satin Midi Dress, $1,212 Small Leather Top Handle Bag, and $327 Roksanda x Malone Souliers Dana Leather Pumps:

Her rose and pastel-yellow hammered silk-satin dress hails from the designer’s Spring 2017 collection. It features striped cuffs and a cinched waist.

Her grained leather bag boasts a top handle silhouette, metal carry handle, detachable leather shoulder straps, a hinged opening, and gold-tone hardware.

How many A$APs are there? No seriously—I cannot keep up with all the members of the crew! They’re known for their style and the industry has certainly embraced them, with A$AP Bari announcing some pretty major news just a few days ago. He will be taking his line Vlone to Men’s Fashion Week in Paris:

After the designer created his very own Vlone x Nike Air Force One—which has no confirmed release date yet—it seemed only a matter of time that Bari and his line would make a big move. During his June 23rd show in the 1st arrondissement, he will debut his initial collection of cut-and-sew designs, along with some pieces he is having made in both Italy and Japan—as reported by WWD.

A post shared by V. lifestyle (@vlone) on Jun 2, 2017 at 2:25pm PDT

“I might do a denim program,” Bari stated. “I might do some leather pieces. I’m not sure.” He may be keeping us on our toes, or legitimately still may be mulling it all over as showing in Paris is no small feat! And the burgeoning style star hasn’t confirmed whether or not he’ll add a shopping, pop-up element into the mix, as he’s known for staging those all over the globe. Two things he has made plain are that a smattering of Vlone aficionados will be invited to the show, as well as his casting of real people for the presentation.

Most designers would show in the City of Light if they could, but Bari’s goal is larger than that. Of the show’s purpose, he affirmed, “I’m trying to show kids that you can do anything.” He continued, “I’m not a kid that went to fashion school. I’m not a kid that went to college and studied fashion. I’m a kid that grew up in fashion and learned it from a life experience.”

And to be clear—this collection is for “the people” and for “the world” according to Bari. “If Barney’s wants to come and buy some clothes, they are going to have to buy the whole lifestyle of Vlone and let me shut down Barneys and bring in my own vision,” he exclaimed. “Other than that, they can’t have it. It’s for me. It’s not for someone to take my s–t and resell.” We feel him!

He also commented on the whole Gucci and Dapper Dan fiasco. “I feel like nobody should hate on what somebody gets inspired by,” Bari asserted. “But it’s sad that it takes 20 or 25 years for them to be inspired by Dapper Dan when he could have been a designer for Gucci. Why didn’t Louis Vuitton give him an opportunity to design for them?”

Happy Thursday, folks!
So as I wrote here, I’m going to Haiti this weekend for an Artisan, Fashion, and Agriculture press trip. When I travel, I never want to be bothered with lots of makeup or maintenance, so I decided to get lash extensions and eyebrow tinting at the Lash Gallery (205 E 16th St, New York, NY 10003). Peep the before and after:

Bam!
I opted for eyebrow tinting ($20) vs. microblading ($800) because my skin keloids and microblading is basically a tattoo! My brows were tinted using a Henna product and should last a week.

My lashes, which cost $400 for your first session and $125 for touch ups, should last 2-4 weeks.

I would not recommend you take an HD picture with no makeup on! But I do recommend you pop by the Lash Gallery if you plan to travel or would just like a fun summer look with little effort. You can literally wake up: flawless.

Or at least better than normal! LOL.
Visit their site here to schedule your appointment. Ask for Dr. Rochelle R.E. Magno and tell her I sent you!

IKEA’s oversized blue “Frakta” bag is no secret to the masses of minimalist shoppers. It’s even inspired high-end designers like Balenciaga, but now they’ve found a designer whose architectural vision matches their own: Virgil Abloh from Off-White.

According to Fashionista, Abloh is collaborating with IKEA to provide a new spin on the practical 99 cent “Frakta” bag. The designer gave the polypropylene material bag a theme name titled “Sculpture” that will read in a black bold print across the new bright yellow bag.

The new design was introduced officially on IKEA’s Instagram today but was first viewed and briefly discussed at the IKEA Democratic Design Days conference in Sweden. Only the beginning process was shown as it consisted of a yellow version, as well as the classic blue version as well.

Abloh and IKEA’s head of design, Marcus Engman explained why they decided to team up in the first place and it’s simple, the home goods retailer is highly intrigued by the designer’s architectural vision, street aesthetic and music background.

Abloh said, “We’ve gone to work, you know, on my interpretation of the classic bag.” “There’s so many iconic things that makes IKEA, IKEA and…Theres so many moments to work in a design career with the absolute best.”

Not only will Abloh design a new bag for IKEA, but will use his influence in the home department too. In the video below, they explain how he will help millennials from across the world redesign modern furniture pieces for their homes.

There is no set date yet when the new bag creation will be sold online and in IKEA stores but it feels like it’s the next best thing forthcoming this summer!
