Anica + Daily Wear

April 23rd, 2009

I featured SF boutique, Anica, many moons ago, but I recently revisited and had to post again.

A couple things that are a must mention:

Owner Rati Sahi is the sweetest person ever! I recently made a purchase (see daily wear pics below) and she was wonderfully helpful and communicated directly with me. Rati-you’re a doll!

Having genuine, personal contact with the people that run online stores just makes the shopping experience a dream. So guys, shop here, you won’t be disappointed. :)

Also, Sahi’s philosophy of offering classic basics is perfectly evident in her online offerings. Nothing is flashy and the items aren’t necessarily trendy, but I found myself wanting most everything on the site.

I purchased the amazing wood wood drop crotch khaki pants that are favourites of Sahi’s, and adore them. I think I just found the base for a daily uniform-ha.

I’ve taken to photoshopping ridiculous photos (kelp forest for the ones below) into the backgrounds of my daily wear shots as you can see. I loved the pairing of the Rachel Comey heels with the pants as shown on the shop’s site so I did the same.

Gary Graham

April 22nd, 2009

I’ve posted about Gary Graham several times here in the past, but it’s been awhile since I’ve looked at his work. I’m still madly in love. His pieces always manage to look as if they have a long, storied history.

I write quite frequently here about how this or that designer’s clothing would integrate well into an existing wardrobe, but this is the pinnacle. Graham’s pieces manage to elevate an outfit instead of blending into the background.

He’s gotten quite a bit more exposure recently so he’s much easier to find, and the company very recently opened a boutique in NYC.

I’ve posted items from the 2009 Autumn collection, and while I’m not a poofy dress kind of person, I can’t get the two below out of my head!

Oh so hipster it hurts. Regardless, Keller offers some great basics including footwear.
