Did Dolce and Gabbana kidnap models from their beds and then march their sleepy heads down the Milan runway? Leave it to the genius fashion minds at this renowned Italian fashion house to make the “rolled out of bed look,” chic — actually scratch that — couture! The design duo paired classic silk men’s pajama tops and bottoms with full and textured skirts and colorful blazers with poufy sleeves, and we even saw this new signature style as a bathing suit! We also were astonished with the multiple ways silk ribbons were used as accessories in the form of belts, bowties, and brooches. The collection concluded with pastel Cinderella gowns adorned with flowers that left us in the middle of a fairytale dreamland. When we wake up, we’ll be sure to snatch some pajamas out of our boyfriend’s closet, but we’re sure it won’t look nearly as cool as Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana’s versions!

So, you may have missed the free YSL tote bag giveway, and although this tote isn’t free, the Yves Saint Laurent ‘Raspail’ Cascade-Print Tote is on sale for $498 (was $995) at Neiman Marcus. We love the way the cascade print works in a tie-dye, gradient aesthetic without going overboard! The leather trim and open top make it casual luxury at the top of its game.
