Just Bead It, Bead It

Rosary inspired necklaces infuse bohohemian style with rock 'n' roll attitude.  Drape them over a tee or even wear with an evening dress as a nod to the nonchalant indie spirits of this world.  Wouldn't you rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints?  The sinners are much more fun...

The Real McCoy's

Forget spending $200+ on the boyfriend jean trend du jour and bag a pair of Levi's 501s. Priced at a mere $78, this old school label has every right to scoff at the designer duds that mimick just what 501s have been doing for decades. They've so expertly captured a broken in comfort and roomy cut that now my skinnies are begging to be put back in wardrobe rotation. I sized up for a slouchy, borrowed from the boy effect and wear with heels, vintage tee, structured jacket and giant watch for a look of haphazard polish. Otherwise, just add flats and a sweater for effortless weekend panache.

Move Over for Marlova

Say "sweater" and what comes to mind? If it's a bulky, boxy, pilly, itchy top of sorts then you haven't met Marlova. Soyun Shin's line of luxe sweaters are like butter. The cashmere is the absolute snuggliest thing against your skin and her draped designs conjure utter gratitude for avant garde warmth. When you've slipped into Marlova on a chilly sweater day the only thing brought to mind will be visions of sugar plum fairies dancing...in cashmere.

Penchant for Pencey

Holden Caulfield may have famously said, "People never notice anything," but the collection Pencey, named for his boarding school in Catcher in the Rye, begs to differ. Designers Christina Minasian and Tora Lopez, former stylist/Kitson buyer and former L.A.M.B. designer, have tastemakers taking notice with their knack for tailoring whimsical punk.
