Your friend who just moved to LA—the one who won't stop going on about the weather, and the produce, and the fact that she shares a spin class with Ryan Gosling—now has something new to brag about. COS, minimalist Scandinavian line of our dreams, just announced that they'll be debuting their first-ever US outpost in Los Angeles this Friday, October 30th—over a month before the brand's New York City shop is rumored to open.

Important fact: London—home of another COS—is closer to NYC by plane than LA. So we're not any nearer to achieving our dreams of trying on those perfect cropped pants and knit mini dresses IRL.
