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 feelingĀ  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!

See the world through Tom Ford’s eye(wear)…

tom_ford1

Seeing the world through Tom Ford’s eyes would be pretty extraordinary. Not sure if that’ll ever be possible, but what’s possible at least, is seeing through his sunglasses!

The Whitney, which is the “Star” of the line, fits amazingly well on all sort of different face types and shapes. The plastic is tough and heavy weight, considering it’s slim frame. It is not flimsy and has a great shine and feel to it. The lens is just the right shade to show a little bit of your eyes behind it, and the slight grade of ombre on the bottom is a very nice touch for extra depth and dimension. Oh, and we aren’t currently carrying the men’s eyewear line, but IĀ  had to put the (…ehem) naked male model from the latest Tom Ford campaign because it’s just hawt….!

New styles are available online and in-store:

Henry Duarte x J.Brand Collabo

Henry Duarte x J.Brand – Capsule Collection

The much anticipated capsule collection from Henry Duarte for J.Brand channels David Bowie’s rock-on, timeless, reverberating style. Skin tight black jeans, with Bowie-inspired detailing like exposed zippers, lace up front style called the “Suffragette,” goes for the classic fit meets grunge chic. After all, who does skinny better than Bowie? These are definitely on our wish-list!! Coming soon at the store and online. Try them on, or reserve a pair!

Black, skinny, and ripped

ripped_jeans

When you think that a pair of jeans can have more than a few rips on the knees, someone else comes up with a better idea! Works on both gals and guys… We have a pair from Blank for $71, which really worth saving you time and work if you are trying to rip your old jeans at home :P

Must try this: Jeggings, the “IT” item.

denim_leggings

They are all over the celebs, from Jessica Alba, Kristen Stewart, Nicky Hilton, and even Beyonce! They are soft, they are tight but comfortable, and they turn your silhouette svelte. We try them, we love them, and we definitely can’t keep them in stock. Come and try them at Azalea and see what I mean. Get them online! (On the right: AG Jeans “The Legging in Black” – $148, on the left: J.Brand “Denim Leggings in Olympia” – $139)

Leather jacket from S.W.O.R.D – a must have!

leather_jacket

The new year is a perfect time to review our shopping treasures (and casualties…tight neon pink graffiti leggings, anyone? yeeks!) from 2009. Needless to say, the ONE thing that certainly had earned its mileage was the leather jacket from S.W.O.R.D. It was worn at least 3 times a week since the day I bought it, and I still can’t get enough of it. I wore it to work, to coffee shops (hence the milk stain that is still there. ha!), to parties, to dinners, and trotting the world. Yes, the leather jacket has even been to the Comme des Garcons store in Tokyo, the snowy mountain of Akakura, and the Uniqlo store in Beijing! The one leather jacket has definitely gone where no other clothing item has gone before.

The perfect leather jacket goes with literally everything. It won’t go out of style and is an instant classic. It will continue to be the must-have item for 2010 (and probably years following…), so I am urging everyone to get one for the new year. From the same factory that produces D&G leather jackets, I recommend S.W.O.R.D as the first brand to try on. Check out a couple of bomber styles below! Shop in-store or ONLINE.
