Barneys Co-op is set to expand in New York and California. The year has started off well for Barneys with comparable-store sales up consistently from January through March. Comparisons with last year's double-digit declines might be easy, but the retailer is feeling optimistic with a strong customer response online and among brands like Lanvin, Dries Van Noten, Azzedine Alaïa, and Celine. Immediate expansion plans include an upcoming co-op in Brooklyn at 194 Atlantic Avenue in Cobble Hill, set to open mid-September, and a Santa Moncia co-op scheduled for August in Santa Monica Place. Barneys currently operates 19 co-op stores.

Jessica, you always turn up the style volume. While many PYTs attended InStyle's annual Summer soiree in LA, Jessica stood out in a simple, ultra-chic LBD. Her black strapless lace insert dress is a modern take on the '80s trend and fits perfectly. Her black deep-v pumps are Robert Palmer girl-esque, while a Le Vian diamond bracelet is understated. Glam rockin' blue nail polish adds a youthful touch.
