Azalea Boutique

It’s back!!

For the entire month of September, bring in a pair of gently-worn, donation-ready jeans and receive 20%OFF any regularly priced pair in the store!!

Your denim donations will go to SFCASA, a local organization dedicated to empowering everyday citizens to become advocates and mentors for abused and neglected children in foster care. Without caring adults to speak on their behalf, foster children rely on SFCASA volunteers to provide judges with the crucial information needed to make sound decisions that affect their lives.

Looking good and doing good feels good doesn’t it? (say that 10 times fast)

Shipley&Halmos never cease to wow us with their collections but, this Fall there’s something special in the air.  Something flirty yet sophisticated… Something, fresh and young about their championed styles and we love it.

After reading a write up in Vanity Fair about their Fall 2010 collection, it all made sense. Their pen-and-paper visions had truly come to fruition.  They were translated so clearly that, “their story for Fall… action and containment…” had been accurately interpreted through, “a hard, durable outer shell, with an ease of movement inside the clothes on the body, and super-comfortable, luxe linings,” Halmos said. (Vanity Fair)

Stay young, Stay Classy… In Shipley & Halmos

Button Blouse in Black | $255

Tank Blouse in Violet | $195

Mather Shirt in Fauna | $175

Smooth Shirt in Plaid | $165

Mike Gonzalez of Mike+Chris fame has found a way to bring all of his influential forces together to create a line that everyone wants to get their hands on.  Working with Mike Diamond of the Beastie Boys to integrate a fresh take on street wear whilst fueling creativity with his love for his wife, Christine, Mike has been able to take classic styles to the high fashion stage.

His climb from hoodie to leather jacket to new wave elegance symbolizes the struggle of every artist.  It all begins with a drawing, moves to a canvas, and up onto a wall.  It’s just a matter of whether the artist (designer in this case) can remain true to himself and his aesthetic through the process of “making it big.”  I think Mike Gonzalez has done just that through incorporating LA skate culture with classical form and function.  See it for yourself:

Get ready for Fall with MM6’s newest collection. They bring color-block, asymmetry, high hemlines, and class to the forefront without skipping a beat.  Every season we’re wowed by Margiela’s attention to the female form and his ability to accentuate forgotten areas with pops of color or a dropped stitch.  Thank you MM for another killer season.
