Hope

June 18th, 2009

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.

Won Hundred

June 9th, 2009

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.

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.
