To celebrate the launch of the Poppy handbag collection, Coach is partnering with JustJared.com to co-host a celebratory fete at Coach’s premiere Short Hills, NJ location @ 5PM on Wednesday (July 1).

Just Jared will be joined by a special guest, former Gilmore Girls actress Alexis Bledel, to kick off a series of Poppy in-store events this summer.

Guests will be able to indulge in a slew of Poppy-perfect treats, including a Poppy candy bar, exclusive Poppy presents with purchase, and a custom Poppy playlist created by famed NYC DJ’s The Misshapes.

Guests can also interact with the Poppy-razzi photobooth and see their photos uploaded onto Coach.com/Poppy and Facebook.

FYI: Gift with purchase over $198 (Poppy journal), free gifts with visit (Poppy pins and pencils), and a percentage of sales from all Poppy purchases made that night will be donated to Alexis’s chosen charity, Peace Games. Three lucky winners will even be selected for a $1,000 shopping spree!!!

Alexis Bledel (Gilmore Girls, Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants) and Northwestern 2004 graduate and Evanston native Zach Gilford (Friday Night Lights) star in Post Grad, a film about a college graduate’s “pre-life crisis.”

Ryden (Bledel) graduates from college and is forced to move back home and deal with her eccentric family and a disastrously unsuccessful job search. It’s coincidental that this plot is so fitting with the current economic climate seeing as production on Post Grad began back in 2007.

North by Northwestern participated in a web conference with both Bledel and Gilford to talk about their experiences working with Demetri Martin, unrequited love and advice current college students might take away from Post Grad.

What message does Post Grad send to graduates?
Alexis Bledel: The point of the movie is that you can’t plan everything, which is really the case right now. It’s a difficult time and it wasn’t this way when we filmed the movie. But it was relevant then and, now even more so.
Zach Gilford: I think one of the big messages is not to be obsessed with having to have a job. That will work itself out over time, but there are other aspects of life. So even though it’s hard right now, maybe don’t get so obsessed over that and like find the other things that can keep you going until you find some steady employment.

What did you guys enjoy most about working on the film?
ZG: Working with Alexis. It was amazing.
AB: We had a lot of fun scenes. What was good about it? It was just a good fit.
ZG: It was fun. We had a great crew. It was pretty good, positive, positive energy. And you have Vicky [Jenson], our director, who did Shrek and stuff. And this is her first full-length feature, so she was excited.
AB: She had a lot of enthusiasm.

Modeling behemoth IMG (home of Kate, Gisele, Daria, the Lilys, and oh-so many more of our favorite girls) has just signed former Gilmore Girl Alexis Bledel to the agency to handle her commercial endorsements - so now she and Little J can hang out at the office?

And we’re excited to see what they’ve got planned.

We were always big fans of Rory and Lorelai and her porcelain complexion and blue eyes are pretty incredible.

Anything that brings her some cool new exposure works for us.

Bring on the campaigns.
