Smart Buy: 80's Minimal Black Overalls

Our latest Smart Buy, these slim-cut fluid black crepe 80's era overalls, may be a little more casual & playful than our previous selections, but their versatility is unquestionable for year-round wear. Think about wearing them in the day over a sheer chiffon blouse with voluminous sleeves, or let them stand as a smart layering foundation and pile on the chunky knits and cashmere cloaks. The options are virtually endless...

Total Reality Chic at The Row Fall 2010



We've been big fans of the Olsen sister's beautifully made line of basics, The Row, for many seasons and their first runway outing for Fall 2010 beautifully showcased their knack for creating easy, well-made basics with a languid fluidity. Looking at every exit, one could think that owning every piece from the collection would be a crucial benefit for year's & year's to come.

Most Wanted: Givenchy's Tribal Pieces



Looking through LuisaViaRoma.com one of us remembered how smart Ricardo Tisci's spring collection for Givenchy is. The tribal print wedges, the printed harem pants, sure they are trademark Tisci, but the man always gets it right. Who can resist such an inventive use of such a tried & true print?

New Arrivals Drop Monday

Here's a sneak peak at some of our favorite new arrivals that will be up for grabs tomorrow, Monday evening 3.29.10...

We are all about this sculptural mid 90's Helmut Lang beauty.

The movement and pattern of this early 80's Gianfranco Ferre sweater suggest a more playful side to the designer's strict house codes.

This 90's Callaghan velvet top made a great companion to our 70's leather wrap shorts.

After seeing the velvet overalls from Chloe we've been on a hunt for classic bibs and this sleek number channels that Parisian style perfectly.

COMING SOON: 20+ New Arrivals Drop Thursday

Next week we'll be adding even more fantastic, one-of-a-kind vintage must haves, all with free-shipping worldwide! Look out for beauties from Alaia, Callaghan, Gaultier, Gianni Versace & Valentino.

Leather shorts have been on our must-have lists ever since Chloe's Fall 2009 outing and these red 70's era wrap shorts are sure to become a closet constant for season's to come.

A beautiful peach topper from the Victorian era quietly channels fashion's recent love affair with grunge, lace and triangle points.

We've had a thing for 70's era girlieness and this lush ivory chiffon top with it's voluminous sleeves and rows of ruffles hits all of our top notes.

Minimalism is thankfully back this season & the next, making now a better time than ever to look back at the considerable trademarks of Helmut Lang. This mid 90's skirt with it's sheer sculptural composition makes a winning case for clean yet inventive dressing.

With digital prints making a splash over the past few season's comes this graphic 70's era knife-pleated shirt-dress in a prim, ladylike cut.
