" It doesn&amp;#039;t get much more American than Coach\u2014the heritage leather-goods concern founded on New York City&amp;#039;s Seventh Avenue in 1941. And in anticipation of the first collection from new creative director Stuart Vevers, the house of the horse and buggy decided to return to its roots for spring/summer 2014. What better way to celebrate the brand&amp;#039;s buttery leather bags, a staple of Amagansett summers, than with a fete with friend of the house\u2014and faithful Coach carrier\u2014Drew Barrymore? The brand took the summer Friday vibe out west\u2014specifically, to the Beverly Hills home of Ashlee Margolis, owner of star-wrangling firm The A List. Designed by celebrity stylist and interior decorator Estee Stanley, Margolis&amp;#039; abode has a modern aesthetic, balanced with vintage elements for warmth. Votives illuminated the living and dining rooms and led to an expansive flagstone pool area, where guests including Nikki Reed, Ahna O&amp;#039;Reilly, and Michael B. Jordan chilled around a fire pit.

Rashida Jones tore up the makeshift dance floor as her sister Kidada and Scott Oster rocked the turntables; Barrymore chatted with Busy Philipps and Philipps&amp;#039; husband, Marc Silverstein, about preschools for their daughters. Fashion Star&amp;#039;s Louise Roe waited in line for a snack\u2014the chefs cooked up a &amp;quot;Hamptons-inspired&amp;quot; menu full of made-to-order sweet-and-savory pancakes, beer-battered delicata squash with maple cream and chili sauce, and Dungeness crab dressed in olive oil, flake salt, and lime zest\u2014and extolled the virtues of her favorite nude Coach brogues, &amp;quot;the perfect mix of cool meets elegant.&amp;quot; When asked what makes the brand so iconic, Philipps was quick to answer, &amp;quot;Timeless pieces that you can always wear with anything!&amp;quot; Barrymore agreed: &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s hard to be timeless and ageless and young and traditional, but they do it all well. It&amp;#039;s about being encompassing and welcoming without losing your edge.&amp;quot; Camilla Belle and Aziz Ansari were hanging out in the kitchen (waiting on the Coolhaus ice cream sandwiches?) when Barrymore made her exit, stopping on the way to the valet for a shoe change, sparkle to sparkle, and left us with a tip: &amp;quot;When you go to a party, bring a heel and a flat that match, so no one will know,&amp;quot; she said, winking like she&amp;#039;d just let the cat out of the Coach bag.
