News of the Day:

+ Starbucks just announced the newest addition to its growing food menu, and it's their most surprising release yet. The chain just debuted its first-ever sushi burrito, dubbed the Chicken Maki Roll. The seaweed cocoon is filled with sushi rice, shredded chicken, cucumber, pickled cabbage, onions, and avocado with tomatillo salsa and lime crema. The addition is part of the brand's Mercato line, which also features a variety of other grab-and-go lunch items, from soups and sandwiches to small dessert pots. The catch? The Mercato line is only available at select Starbucks stores in Chicago and Seattle.

The best part? The account provides locations for each image, so you know exactly where to go on your next vacation to spark some serious Insta envy. See some of our favorite shots, below.

Rihanna's Jamaican flag-inspired mesh dress, as seen in the duo's "Work" video.
