LaPointe Resort 2026 Collection
Sally LaPointe has a new office. It's one floor down from where she was a year ago, but the space is vastly different. Not only does it feel like twice the size of her previous headquarters, but the massive floor-to-ceiling windows makes it feel warmer, perhaps symbolizing the start of an even sunnier year for LaPointe, who reports that she's doing well at retail.
For resort, the designer wanted to focus on making the things that she and her customers love. 'Pre-collections are always a joy for me. Being able to just zero in on the fashion and deliver things that I know my woman will love is very satisfying,' she said. Many of her favorite statement pieces returned this season but in comfortable versions. New this season was eveningwear in a very luxe and thick jersey that really contours the body. Her color palette—bold turquoise and burgundy with a slight sheen—added to the statement-making effect.
LaPointe is known for her sexy designs, but this season there was a wider breadth of styles on offer, including a mini-shift dress with her signature feather trim that was very uptown in style. Similarly, the brand is proving to be a big hit in the Middle East, thanks to her lightweight caftans and capes, which this season she produced in even more colors and variations. LaPointe may have conquered New York City's fashionistas, but the international ones aren't far behind.

Finally, a Protein Powder That Doesn't Taste Disgusting
After more than a decade working in the wellness world, I can tell you one thing for certain: Most wellness-related food tastes disgusting. Health may equal wealth, but it certainly does not mean delicious. So when my divinely chic (and also, quite ripped) coworker Mark Guiducci asked if I had heard of Ka'chava Protein powder, I'll confess: I rolled my eyes internally. Yes, I had heard of it—advertisements for the brand had popped up during podcasts, which I skipped through—but had I tried it? No. I wasn't even remotely interested. But it's funny how influencing literally works…Guiducci, my own influencer in question, had spotted it in a cool friend's kitchen and had given it a try. So now, I was interested in trying. I've always associated protein powders with the toddler-sized black tubs of yore. Something both decidedly un-sexy and bulky, which I simply didn't have room for inside my New York-sized apartment. But Ka'chava feels different: Starting with the pastel-colored flexi-bag packaging. Guiducci jokingly calls the duck egg blue, mint, and lilac-toned packaging 'pura vida branded,' but that's exactly it. It's the quiet luxury-ification of protein powder. And then there's the actual powder itself. The five flavors (chocolate, vanilla, matcha, coconut acai, and chai) have almost hard to believe, work-smarter-not-harder claims. Protein! Iron! Electrolytes! Vitamins E, C, and D! Magnesium! Two scoops are a veritable who's who of my supplement cabinet. Guiducci and I have his-and-hers approaches to working Ka'chava protein powder into our daily routines. 'I like the chocolate or vanilla flavors very bare bones,' he says. 'Just ice, water, and creatine powder. I go for three scoops to make it a bit richer. It's the perfect snack between lunch and dinner.' My scoops and flavor depend on my mood. Much like my coworker, I stick to the classic chocolate and vanilla flavors: Vanilla integrates well into overnight oats and smoothies, while chocolate tastes best on its own. And while I've never gone as intense as three scoops, I usually find one heaping scoop or two in the morning boosts my energy for until lunch—and most importantly, tastes good.

Trump Accuses China of Breaking Trade Truce
President Trump suggested on Friday that the trade truce between the United States and China was not holding and accused Beijing of breaking an agreement that was brokered this month to temporarily lower tariffs that the countries had imposed on each other. In a post on Truth Social, Mr. Trump said that China violated the pact and suggested that he could return to a more confrontational approach: 'So much for being Mr. NICE GUY!' The accusations threatened to derail hopes of a broader agreement between the world's largest economies. The trade standoff between the United States and China has created significant concern for businesses and investors and raised fears of a global downturn. The new dispute arrives at a moment of great uncertainty for Mr. Trump and his ability to brandish steep tariffs as a way of forcing other countries to make trade concessions. A federal trade court earlier this week declared many of the president's duties to be illegal, including some that he imposed on China on emergency grounds. An appeals court later restored that power temporarily. The U.S. had ratcheted tariffs on Chinese imports to 145 percent earlier this year, and China had hit American products with a 125 percent import tax. Both sides lowered those levies in early May after Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Jamieson Greer, the U.S. trade representative, met in Switzerland with their Chinese counterparts. They agreed to hold additional talks on a more comprehensive agreement and pause most of the tariffs for 90 days. However, Mr. Bessent said on Thursday evening that the talks had 'stalled' and suggested that Mr. Trump and Xi Jinping, China's president, would need to engage directly. Want all of The Times?
