New! Helmut Lang

header

This season’s Helmut Lang is the perfect way to make a statement and not freeze your tuchus off. Although silks are thin, their ability to retain body heat paired with some thick tights is the perfect winter wear.  Not to mention, this collection boasts a handful of showstopping outerwear pieces–like the Leather Knit Combo Jacket, a futuristic cut with a built in scarf. We need it!!

Girl You’re Stacked, That’s A Fact

Iosselliani Rings

It girls’ fave Italian imports are BACK. We just got our Fall shipment of the irresistible Iosselliani and we can’t get our hands off of it. We love how for the price of one you get up to 8 bangin’ rings. Wear ‘em all on one finger or share the love.  Oh, and did we mention the instant badass cred from the oxidized skull earrings? Yeah, there’s that too.

Gentlemen, We Bring You Billy Reid

Since 1998, William “Billy” Reid has been churning out menswear with a an emphasis on detail and a desire to bring back craftsmanship to men’s American fashion. After launching his first collection in spring 1998 the fashion world took note. His line delivered a laid-back elegance and brought simple and quality luxury goods back into the picture. This veiled charm earned him the prestigious CFDA Perry Ellis Award in 2001.

After a brief hiatus from fashion in 2001, Billy came back in 2004 with a vengeance. He decided to focus on expressing his personality and love for all things sartorial of a bygone era through the clothes themselves. Reid’s clothing is made of luxurious fabrics and crafted to stand the tests of time. In fact, Billy thinks they look better with age. They are clothes that you wear, break in, and make your own.

Most recently, Billy Reid has won GQ’s Best New Designer, and has arrived at Azalea. Take a look:

Shop This Look: Utilitarian

The transition from Summer to Fall always seems like a letdown.  You trade in your cutoffs and sundresses for heavy coats and grey skies, but this transitional trend is the light at the end of the tunnel.

Keep those blouses  and skinnies in the closet and throw on a work-wear inspired jacket.  Layer an ultra-soft, worn-in flannel over your summer tanks.  Swap your wedges for some worn leather boots and you have yourself an Autumn-ready ensemble.  What makes the Utilitarian look so special is that it resonates through the seasons. You can stay with staples, add to your collection, and stray from short-lived trends.  You don’t need shoulder pads and gold tassels on your military jacket to get shit done.  This look allows you to forgo the frills and still stay feminine.

Shipley & Halmos – Fall 2010

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)

Simon SPURR F/W 2010

Not only is Simon Spurr a hunk but his eye for men’s fashion and attention to tailoring are on point.  His collections exude an English air about them without being overtly preppy or pretentious.  From the fabrics, to the styles, and down into the patterns, his desire to make sophisticated men’s clothing without falling victim to trends is made so, so apparent.

We <3 SPURR and so should you.

Founded on the idea that denim can be classic, subtly detailed, and made of quality fabrics, California-born denim company, Them Atelier is the epitome of affordable fashion.  In timeless styles and washes, these jeans will stand the test of time and trend and, leave you with money in the bank.

THEMINDIGO

THEMbrokentwill

I had the pleasure of experiencing these jeans for myself and I have to tell you, I was a convert from the moment I zipped them up.

Want to add a little edge to your ensemble–go with the Doom in Skinny Blue (Grey, actually).  The Doom fit is made of stiffer denim with little stretch in a slim-skinny fit.

Looking for an everyday jean? Why stop at everyday when you can take them in to the evening, too? The Crypt in Indigo will keep you looking sharp during the day and offer high-waist style and support during party-time.

At only $84 a pair, you can afford to get BOTH!!

We can’t get enough striped things!  With so many colorways and so many different styles there’s no reason why we can’t flaunt our stripes everyday.
