Get Up To 74% Off Luxe Designer Handbags During Jeff Wans Summer Sale

Some secrets are just too good to keep to ourselves — like Jeff Wan’s secret summer sale. The AAPI- and LGBTQIA-owned brand currently has discounts that are too good to be true. Till July 7th, shoppers can take up to 74% off sitewide on the label’s luxe leather handbags, backpacks, and duffles. (For example, its sleek $875 duffle bag is now on sale for $399.) The promotion includes everything from the brand’s signature Hamptons collection for your quiet luxury summer to everyday styles like its modern Grand Baie Gym Bag. 

If you haven’t heard of Jeff Wan or his eponymous line, you’re in for a treat. The luxury fashion company is known for its urban and minimalistic designs with pops of animated colors and playful pineapple motifs that serve as an ode to Wan’s home of Mauritius. Wan launched the brand in 2018 after working for labels like Coach, Kenneth Cole, and Michael Kors, combining heritage quality with his fresh and playful POV. And, to celebrate and honor Pride Month, the brand will donate 10% of the June proceeds from the site to the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) and BABEC (Black and Brown Equity Coalition) Fire Island. Hurry, and get a hold of this amazing sale, as the luxury fashion company only has a limited amount of handbags to shop.

Handbags

Jeff Wan offers a collection of colorful structured bags and lightweight totes for your perusal. The cheapest bags from the sale are under $100, including the elegant cinched Bazar Bucket Bag in Coco. Meanwhile, the $199 Hampton Totes are some of the more pigmented options available in rose pink, mimosa yellow, and green.

Backpacks

Take advantage of Jeff Wan’s summer sale by snagging a smooth calf leather backpack for $299. The minimalistic aesthetic is suitable for school, the office, and any weekly adventures. There’s even a separate interior compartment for your laptop, as well as multiple pockets inside and out.

Gym Bags

Your nylon gym bag just had a major revamp. Instead of the typical black shade with a huge Nike logo in front, sport a vibrant color block pattern of red, yellow, and blue with a rich pebble leather exterior. Who knew a gym bag holding your FP Movement workout ‘fit, and Lululemon sneakers could be so stylish?

Fashion the bag as a backpack while traveling through the subway, then switch to the top handle before entering the restaurant or ba. Voila, it’s the most versatile gym bag that you’ll actually want to wear everywhere. Plus, you can’t beat the price — originally almost $300, it is now going for $99.

Duffle Bags

Cruise through TSA with your new elevated duffle bag from Jeff Wan. The weekender bag is a step up from a slouchy duffle with its smooth, refined leather exterior, zipped pockets, and four-foot prong base. You can fashion the duffle into a shoulder bag or crossbody style.

Heres What Happened When Teva Sent Me On A Hot Girl Trip To Lake Tahoe

At the beginning of the year, I added a new bullet point to my bucket list: travel more. Aside from the international places already on my wishlist, I specifically want to visit every single American state. You may be thinking, “Girl what for?” But I’ve been reflecting a lot on my childhood, and one memory I keep coming back to is one my parents challenged me to, memorize as many states, capitals, and cities as I could when I was around 6. The little girl in me is still yearning to see as many places this country has to offer by 2025. 

To begin this journey, I started at Lake Tahoe (which is between California and Nevada), checking into Teva for two days of outdoor activities. I’m the type of girl who usually loves a good resort and being laid up by the pool, but I promised to challenge myself that I’d try new adventures. Teva made sure I was all set: hiking, kayaking, and a tour of the lake were all on the agenda. The drive to the Wylder Hotel’s cabins was filled with beautiful scenery of the mountains, one side filled with snow and the other completely clear. As we ascended the mountains, it started to hail, the temperatures gradually dropped, and my cellular service disappeared. I was worried at first, but then I basked in the reality that I would be able to truly unplug. 

As I settled into my cabin, I was excited to find that Teva provided me with some footwear since I didn’t really pack accordingly for the weather. Throughout the week I tested out the Geotrecca Low shoes and Hurricane XLT2 sandals. On the first day of activities, I slid on the Geotrecca low shoes for the hike up the Genoa Trail. The moment I put them on, I felt instant comfort, and I knew that I wouldn’t have to worry about my feet hurting during the hike. We walked across several narrow paths while going up the mountain, which triggered my fear of heights. Luckily, we had Beyoncé’s first Renaissance tour show to watch via TikTok to keep us distracted on our way up. Reaching our destination was really motivating and inspired me to do nature walks — or, as I like to call them, “hot girl walks” — more routinely. 

Later that evening, we enjoyed a wine-tasting boat cruise, where we learned many historical facts about Lake Tahoe. Did you know that the lake is about 1,600 feet deep and would cover the Empire State Building, which is 1,454 feet tall? Of course, I had to take obligatory photos of myself because the background was honestly breathtaking. 

On day two, I wore my Hurricane XLT2 sandals (with socks), which instantly became a summer shoe staple in my closet because I have yet to stop wearing them. They’re easy to put on, and the velcro adjustable straps are a huge win for when I’m on the go. They were perfect as we volunteered with Keep Tahoe Blue, where we learned about the importance of keeping the lake as clean as possible. We put on our gloves and spent around two hours picking up trash and plastic. Since we’d arrived about a week after a lot of snowfall, there were pieces of trash previously covered by the snow that we were able to pick up. Keep Tahoe Blue prides itself on combating pollution on the lake because it is an important source for the people who live around there. 

The last activity of the trip was a highlight for me: kayaking on the river in clear kayaks. Admittedly, I was extremely nervous because I’m not the strongest swimmer, and the lake is pretty huge. I talked so much mess about only going on the kayak for a photo opp and returning back to the main boat. However, once I was on it, I had the best time and didn’t want to leave. My muscle memory of learning how to kayak in summer camp instantly kicked in, and I even was doing laps. I was really proud of myself for pushing through. 

Overall, this trip was enriching in a way I wasn’t expecting. It set the bar high as I set out for my journey of exploring many more states. I was able to step out of my comfort zone throughout the trip and create new relationships with those around me. I look forward to being more intentional when it comes to trying new things with each place I visit.

Carrie Bradshaw Is The Blueprint For Modern It Girl Style

Carrie Bradshaw has been New York’s on screen It girl for a quarter century now. Ever since HBO’s Sex and the City debuted back in 1998, the fictional character — initially based on Candace Bushnell, writer of the Sex and the City book and columns  — has skipped around town in her Manolo Blahnik shoes, inspiring thousands to move to New York City to do the same. Throughout those 25 years, fans have witnessed how Bradshaw’s polarizing style has taken over the cultural zeitgeist. So much so that she’s the blueprint for the modern It girl — really. 

“Just like lots of women I know in the city, she goes and explores and tries different things and loves to play in a closet,” says costume designer Molly Rogers, who’s worked in Sex and the City and its recent reboot And Just Like That... “I think that’s reflected in her [fashion] choices, her whimsy.”

Bradshaw’s outfits are not exactly timeless or classic, but it is the kind of personal style that transcends its time. And that’s because it’s always been ahead of the curve, creating unorthodox outfits through effortless styling that makes her look unpolished and refined at the same time. My favorite Carrie Bradshaw outfits always make me wonder why I hadn’t thought of it before, followed by the sensation that the outfit would be easy to put together. But once I find myself in my closet, I realize there’s much more to it than I originally thought.

Today’s It girls take a lot of inspiration from Bradshaw, whether consciously or not.Their style seems equal parts approachable and aspirational and always just a tad out of whack. Take, for example, Bella Hadid —  named the most influential dresser of 2022 by global fashion platform Lyst — whose knack for putting together polarizing outfits has inspired a generation to do the same. It’s in the way she pairs gym pants with a white button-down shirt, or Ugg booties and white boxer briefs with a motorcycle jacket. There’s also the 2010s quintessential It girl Jenna Lyons — now back on the spotlight for the new season of The Real Housewives of New York — whose personal brand was built on juxtaposing the fancy with the casual in brilliant outfits I still cite on a daily basis. Who can forget when she attended Solange Knowles’ wedding in a white t-shirt and long feather skirt in 2014? Or that time she walked the Met Gala red carpet in a bright pink pencil skirt and a denim jacket? And, of course, Chloë Sevigny, whose style’s gravitational pull is so strong people lined up for blocks recently to score pieces, including multiple items she had worn in paparazzi images, from her closet sale in May 2023. 

Those outfit formulas are all straight out of Carrie Bradshaw’s closet. And as New York-based It girls, just like Bradshaw, people like Hadid and Lyons are also a product of their city, according to costume designer Danny Santiago. “I think for the women in New York there’s so many possibilities to fashion and it’s all at your fingertips in New York City,” he says. “You walk down a street and there’ll be something new that you never knew about.” Even 25 years after Sex and the City, as the city continues to evolve, it still breeds a kind of cool girl fashion DNA, thanks to its boutiques, thrift shops, and even street vendors. It all makes me think of Emma Rodelius, the founder of New York’s It downtown store Rogue, whose community-based approach to fashion and retail, partnering with little-known designers in the city and creative themed sale events, has made her an It girl in her own right. Her style — a mix of vintage Fendi Baguette bags and worn out jeans — reflects the city’s gritty and vibrant energy. 

Yet, the thing about It girl-ism is that it’s often relegated to younger women. Hadid, for example, is still in her 20s, while Lyons’ It girl rise happened when the designer and entrepreneur was in her 30s and 40s (she is 55 now). But in premiering …And Just Like That, the show’s creators and cast allowed fans to see the embodiment of an It girl in her 50s. “I think it [style] should be celebrated no matter what age you are,” says Rogers. 

In season 1 of …And Just Like That, Bradshaw took on the role of podcast host (joking it was mandatory “like jury duty”) and street style chronicler. Viewers got to see her signature style in yet another phase of her life. That included everything from a Gucci x Balenciaga bag mixed with a denim shirt and vintage printed dress, a vintage Jean Paul Gaultier suit, and tulle skirts. We’ve also seen her in some of her older pieces like the studded Valentino belt from the first Sex and the City movie and the sequin Fendi Baguette bag she first sported in the show’s third season. Throughout the first season, Bradshaw also saw her younger self reflected in California jewelry designer and neighbor Lissette (played by Katerina Tannenbaum), who dresses like a 2022 version of Bradshaw’s younger self, with heavy vintage inspiration and an amalgamation of accessories that still manage to look simple. In seeing these two characters, side by side, it’s clear that Bradshaw’s style DNA — with its disregard for matching and trends — continues to inspire a younger generation of It girls, on and off the screen. 

For season 2, Rogers and Santiago are looking to have even more fun with Bradshaw’s style. Although Bradshaw never seemed to care about people’s opinions on her style (I mean, she put a bird on her head!), Santiago says that in her 50s, it’s all about shattering society’s expectations. “I feel like you’re at a point in your life where it doesn’t matter what somebody else thinks,” he says. “It’s what makes you feel good and how you want to present yourself to the world.” That includes a JW Anderson pigeon-shaped handbag and carrying a mug strapped to her purse. 

If today’s It girls have deleted Bradshaw from their moodboard, maybe it’s time to take notes again.

The Perfect Festival Outfit For Every Summer Concert Vibe

Festival season is in full swing, with Governors Ball weekend just ending and Bonnaroo Festival being halfway through. Each festival has its own flare when it comes to the musical acts, the venues, the food, and, of course, the fashion. And if you want to dress on theme for this summer’s hottest music marathons, we have you covered with mini style guides for each festival. Whether you’re looking to wear comfortable cowboy boots to Summerfest in Milwaukee, a colorful crochet set to Lollapalooza in Chicago, or a holographic halter top to Electric Zoo in New York, we’ve got you covered with summer festival outfits.

And just as music has no boundaries/limits, neither should your fashion sense. So mix and match from different festival style guides below to concoct your perfect festival outfit. And if you happen not to have any festivals lined up this summer, don’t sweat it. Because if you’re lucky enough to be going to Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour or Beyoncé’s Renaissance Tour, there are plenty of crop tops and denim shorts along with comfortable sneakers and trendy accessories to pluck from this roundup too.

Scroll on to learn more about the vibes and genes — from hip-hop to country to EDM — of each major US Summer 2023 concert. Now go on and build your next summer festival outfit.

Bonnaroo Outfits

When: June 14-18

Where: Great Stage Park in Manchester, Tennessee

What to Wear: If you’re currently jamming out at Bonnarroo while coming across this article and in need some extra style inspo for the rest of the weekend — hi, welcome. As you celebrate rock, hip-hop, and electronic musicians and artists during this camping festival located on a 700-acre farm, don’t forget about the other attractions, like yoga and waterslides. So if you’re looking to keep cool, wear a one-piece swimsuit, and make it double as a bodysuit paired with shorts. If denim shorts aren’t your vibe, opt for sweat-resistant biker shorts in a festival-approved print for yoga (and for mosh pits, of course). And let’s not forget the importance of a good sneaker, especially on the camping grounds.

Summerfest Outfits

When: June 22-July 8

Where: Henry Maier Festival Park in Milwaukee, Wisconsin

What to Wear: “The world’s largest music festival” is celebrating its 55th anniversary this year. Jam out to classic rock, country, and blues music in country-esque attire (we’re thinking a bandana top). Wear a packable straw hat that you can roll up into your concert bag when the sun goes down and slip into a pair of cowboy boots with cushioned soles to trek between the 12 stages.

Rolling Loud Outfits

When: July 21-23

Where: Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, Florida

What to Wear: If you’re not attending the previous large-scale festival, maybe you’ll be going to “the biggest hip-hop festival in the world” — Rolling Loud. While it happens several times a year in different locations, summer 2023 is reserved for Miami. Shield your eyes from the sun with a holographic visor that’s just as stylish as it is protective. Keep the rest of your festival outfit cool and casual, pairing a crop top with breathable parachute pants, dad sneakers, and a belt bag.

Lollapalooza Outfits

When: August 3-6

Where: Grant Park in Chicago, Illinois

What to Wear: Lollapalooza festival outfits are comparable to Coachella style. Think boho and peace and love and color and — yes — lots of tassels and fringe. As you dance alongside Chicago’s skyline to alternative rock, hip-hop, and techno anthems, do so in a funky crocheted top or shorts. Accessorize with a fun pair of sunnies that you can also hang around your neck and a pair of platform sneakers to peek over the bustling crowds.

Outside Lands Outfits

When: August 11-13

Where: Golden Gate Park in San Francisco, California

What to Wear: At this all-ages festival, there’s a broad range of genres, from rock and pop to dance and funk, and more, so the summer festival outfit options are endless. Consider going for denim pieces with a twist or combat boots with a twist (i.e., metallic platform ones). And if you plan on dancing all night long inside SOMA Tent where the DJs never stop playing, go for a pair of neon glow-in-the-dark glasses to stand out.

Electric Zoo Outfits

When: September 1-3

Where: Randall’s Island in New York, New York

What to Wear: Ravers unite and, well, rave, during this Labor Day Weekend EDM festival. Take over Randall’s Island in style with a tiny chain mail top and metallic biker shorts. When it gets too hot and steamy to bear, pull out your fan to cool down yourself and your festival mates. And as any raver knows, Kandi bracelets (aka friendship bracelets) are meant to be swapped with others, so grab some pre-made ones from Amazon to help spread the love.
