Swedish brand, Hope, is another label chock full of slouchy, wearable clothes that you’d be hard pressed to not integrate easily into your existing wardrobe. Again this is a label I’d found out about several years ago but never featured, and recently I’ve been seeing select pieces on a few U.S. based webstores (lagarconne and creaturesofcomfort in particular). Designer, Ann Ringstrand, worked for H&M as assistant buyer and designer prior to founding the label.



Danish label, Won Hundred, sort of reminds me of A.P.C. before it became incredibly trendy. And by this I mean that the label consists of clean basics with a focus on great shapes and pieces that can’t be immediately identified as belonging to a particular brand (not that A.P.C.’s stuff isn’t still great basics!). They also have a men’s line.
You can find select pieces in the States at Totokaelo and Revolve.



Gorgeous, organic clothing from Brooklyn’s Bodkin.

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.
Denim:$325

Pants:$180


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.
- Top: Target
- Pants: Wood Wood
- Shoes: Rachel Comey
- Cuff: vintage napkin ring worn as bracelet!
Oh so hipster it hurts. Regardless, Keller offers some great basics including footwear.
