You need this shirt. We told you last Spring, and some of you listened. This time, don’t sleep! New Nom de Guerre Officer’s Shirt ($165) in 2 different plaids. Nom de Guerre has definitely made some positive changes to the sizing and pricing of this collection. The fits are more accurate in terms of “general” fits, so no guessing this time around. If you’re normally a medium, buy this shirt in a medium. It’s seriously the perfect Spring shirt. Put some color in your life.

It’s not even up on the site yet, come in to check it out or give us a brrrrrrrring.

Alex Wang Shades @Acrimony

The sun has its way of surprising us on days when we’ve had too much to drink, forgot to put make-up on, or just look plain BLAH. So make sure to have a pair of sunglasses that will instantly fab-a-fy you. Alex seems to know how to do that.

Pick up a pair of Alexander Wang sunglasses @Acrimony. April 1st.

Welcome to our insides

For those of you that have not been to our new location…shame on you! Thank goodness for Cody, photographer extraordinaire, snapping a few photos to share with the world. With 6 months time to get acquainted with our new space, it’s coming along nicely. Everyday something changes, new ideas spark, or something falls off the walls that I haven’t secured very well. We keep it moving here, as usual…

Coming Soon...

I live in anticipation. I feel excited, overwhelmed, anxious, and exuberant at the thought of having these pieces sit in the shop. There are so many amazing items/designers/concepts happening for Fall. Even with my new camera, I suck at capturing the reality of some of these treasures. But I tried my best to keep my cool while celebrating my first venture into footwear for the shop.

Enter…LD Tuttle @Acrimony for Fall 2010.

People, yes, it’s OK to gasp in pleasure.

“The Push in Vapor.” This boot has a steady platform and moderate pitch, modestly speaking considering your nose will be smelling the air of alter elevations. The soft nappa leather can be scrunched at the ankle or pulled high and fastened with velcro.

“The Weave in Black.” Combat style lace-up with mis-aligned eyelets for a unique design up the front.

“The Lean in Black.” A clog. A super rad platform clog with an adjustable buckle sling back. If you don’t already own a platform clog you need this one. Even if you do, you still need this one.

“The Split in Vapor.” Suede mesh sandal that engulfs your foot like a glove. It feels Balenciaga without the extra zero at the end.

“The Shifter in Black.” A unisex boot that can be worn folded over as a short boot or unfolded as a tall shafted boot. Genius.

“The Gather in Black.” Another repeated style from past seasons…good enough to keep around FOREVER. Unisex for all.

SHIN is IN!

sugar crystals

Sat, 20 Feb 2010 16:18:00 -0800

What is it about crystals that make us so mesmerized? Perhaps it’s the jagged, colorful rocks that somewhat resemble those hubble space telescope photos of outer-space. Whatever the case, we’re hopelessly in love with the new Crystal Blouse we just received from ACNE. Off-white silk blouse with a huge crystal print on the back and cool rouching details on the front. WANT. MUST HAVE.

Check it out HERE.

Rad by Rad Hourani

Mon, 15 Feb 2010 22:51:00 -0800

It has finally arrived. The most anticipated pieces from Rad Hourani’s Rad by Rad line. The cardigan and the zip pants are my favorites. Obsessively long sleeves, dramatic layers of fabric, perfect cuts and a fit to flatter make Rad’s line nothing less than…well, RAD.

Unisex without being designed too much one way over the other. Limited sizes and quantities, so come in quick. Quick I say! Come in to try on the magic or check it out HERE.

second skin leather

Mon, 15 Feb 2010 17:54:20 -0800

We just received these amazing leather Jackets by Funktional. Supple, textured leather jackets available in gray or black. These jackets are all about details- from the asymmetric snap closure to the long leather side ties. It’s pretty incredible how many ways you can play with this jacket’s silhouette. Fully lined through the arms and partially lined through the body. Leather so thin, it’s like a second skin. This is the perfect spring jacket. At $400, you won’t break the bank. Available HERE.

Valentines day is a hallmark holiday. I said it. Not taking it back. Oh, wait are those chocolates for me? Why…. flowers!? For me!??!

Okay, I’ll admit that everyone likes to be liked and loves to be loved. A little extra reminder on February 14th doesn’t hurt anyone. Unless you’re single. Kidding. Single people deserve some love on February 14th, too! If there’s one thing I’ve learned about love, it is that you have to love yourself first. I love myself SO much that I will buy myself a sparkly jewel every now and then. Check out the pretty new sparkling jewels we just got in the shop! Give one to a friend, a loved one or yourself! Hey guys, your girlfriend would totally prefer one of these over that box of chocolates, silly thong and stuffed bear.

Another little box from Gitman has arrived on our doorstep. We were so happy to open it and find this staring back at us. This may be a little 80’s throw back, but it’s done the right way. Wear this on a semi-warm day with some rolled up trousers and a pair of suede oxfords (we like these a lot).

Gitman Plaid Madras Shirt: $163. HERE»

let's talk about sex

Thu, 14 Jan 2010 17:17:52 -0800

I’m a firm believer that gifts of love should be given everyday. But thanks to Hallmark, February 14th was deemed as the only required day. Hmph. I think this year you should buy something for yourself. And when I say “for yourself” I mean, something that you AND someone else will enjoy. So this applies to both boys and girls when it comes to sex. Don’t buy sex, buy something that screams sex. Sexy. Sexy, sexy, sexy. Because sexy on the outside isn’t much if you aren’t sexy underneath.

The Lake and Stars. New to Acrimony for Valentine’s Day. Come in to check it out, or call to get yours (and I mean GET YOURS). 415.861.1025.

jewels for you too, boys.

Wed, 13 Jan 2010 16:48:00 -0800

I’m still trying to fully wrap my head around the world of men’s jewelry. We get so many guys asking for jewelry, but most of them don’t actually own any. They’re looking for the “right” piece, and it’s hard to find the right piece if you don’t like skulls or crossbones. The Japanese are pretty obsessed with 925 silver, chains, bracelets, vintage charms and even skulls. Here are some scans from the latest Japanese magz:

Julius x Garni painted chains & rings. (18,900 yen) These are super duper rad.

Hysteric Glamour sterling silver headphone chain.

Vantique Jewelry, from cool vintag-y finds.

Eagle necklace with green globe. I’ll have one of these for me.

Post Holiday Fun

Tue, 12 Jan 2010 18:18:07 -0800

With all the holiday madness, we didn’t have time to properly celebrate the passing of 2009. Not to mention, the restaurant I wanted to go to had a 4 week waiting list. But we finally gathered the family and enjoyed a BIG German feast @ Suppenküche. Bratwurst, Schnitzel, Spaetzle, Dark Hefenweiser, yeast-free beer and good ol’ fashioned German fun. See for yourself.
