Soho’s little gem – Eryn Brinie

erin_bynie

Word has it that Eryn Brinie is the best kept secret in SOHO, NYC – a little gem in the hustle and bustle of Broadway Street. Feminine style, pretty dresses, flowy tops, it’s a girl’s girl dream come true…high-quality and a gratifying price tag to match ($60-$180). Now available at Azalea for all San Francisco girls.

Love from Richard Chai

Richard Chai Spring 2010 is “Love.” We definitely love you back Richard! If you are going to invest in that ONE gorgeous dress that you can style all year long, I’d pick one of these dresses. It’s chic, fashionable, with just the right splash of color. It’s a little on the pricier side, ($495) BUT consider all the outfits you can really pull out of it. Stylt it with denim vest + leggings, leather jacket + tights, knit wrap + boots, belt it with flats, trench coat over it + heels….and it goes on. I think I just talked myself into getting one. Oh no! (Oh yes!)

Vegan handbags are amazing.

“In 1991, Co-owner and Creative Director Inder Bedi was challenged by a mahatma to go vegetarian for thirty days. It was during this time that Inder devised the business plan for an eco/vegan fashion house. First written as a university project in 1995 and eventually launched as MATT & NAT. 21 water bottle initiative has further stepped up our commitment to social responsibility and to the environment; all linings are made from recycled plastic water bottles. A message inside of each bag will let you know exactly how many bottles were recycled to produce your accessory.” – www.mattandnat.com.

Check out some of the bags we have at the store – I love the guys’s black travel bag, its really modern, functional, and the leather is so supple ($285 – its a really good price for what it is):

Sounds like a Shakuhachi

If you google “Shakuhachi,” you’ll find out that its a Japanese end-blown flute, traditionally made of bamboo that was used by the Zen Buddhist monks. Shakuhachi, is also a really cool Australian clothing line by Jessie White. Jetsetting between Aussie and Bali (yes, that slice of heaven located in Indonesia), she makes clothes that inspired by the non-chalant fashionable side of beach lifestyle. Doesn’t that just sounds awesome? If its Freaky Friday, I’d love switching my life to THAT. Anyways, here is Shakuhachi! Love it try it wear it!

We’ll get these up online very soon! Meanwhile, come see it at the store…

One of the nicest jackets I’ve seen. B.Scott.

B.Scott really took off this Spring season. The jackets are beautiful, no details are overlooked, the fit is proportioned and materials are kept simple. His signature hoody has an updated look.

A Gentleman Gets Dressed Up

commonwealth2

Commonwealth Utilities founders Anthony Keegan and Richard Christiansen are dedicated to reinventing the well-dressed man and the pursuit of unexpected delight (respectively). Its name is derived from the fact that designers Anthony Keegan and Richard Christiansen are originally from the Commonwealth of Nations (Canada and Australia, also respectively). I wish I could post their videos here (their all-flash site makes it a nay), because they have this one that shows all the somewhat scantily dressed gorgeous men getting all dressed up in the morning :)

Check them out at the store – the pieces are really beautifully made, with crisp tailoring and sophisticated details.

Oh, and that video can be seen here: http://www.commonwealth-utilities.com/#/VIDEOS_MEN_WE_LOVE/

You know that fantastic feeling  you get when someone came along and you just knew that he or she is meant just for you? *Sigh. Well, I just had that feeling today. YES! Only it was not a someone, rather, it was a dress. Well, make it TWO dresses. Both from Acne. *Sigh. Sigh. It keeps on getting better!
