Today was the first really nice day in awhile here in Pittsburgh. No three minute thunder showers and clear skies all day; the perfect kind of weather for sundresses, open toe shoes, and ice cold beverages. So why am I already looking forward to the Fall? I think it has something to do with how backwards my mind can be sometimes. As much as I love the summer months, nothing puts me in a better mood than the Fall. The leaves, crisp weather, new collections............
That's right. New collections. New fashion. New everything!
If you read this blog on a semi regular basis you should know about my undying love for Eighteenth NYC and it's creator Alexa Galler. It took a moment for me to compose myself after checking out the pictures for the brands impending Fall/Winter 2010 collection. I lost my breath, started sweating, and got a bit dizzy just from staring at the pictures so hard on my computer screen. Truly mesmerizing don't you think?
You know I love a good sale right? They give me life. I love them. Sales are like Christmas to me, and this is no different. I've written about my love for Eighteenth before, but because I'm cheap my love for them has just intensified ten fold. In order to make room for their magical Fall 2010 line of tee's (which by the way is EFFING AMAZING), the New York brand is now offering 25% off of their remaining assortment of tshirts. In order to get your hands on the goods, check out Eighteenth's online store and use the code NICETEE when you check out. Happy shopping!
Where in theory I'm drawn to outrageous designs and color galore, in reality I'm just a jeans and tshirt girl. On any given occasion you'll find my closet filled with flats, cardigans, skinny jeans, and my staple item: the v neck tshirt. It's often times very hard for me to find 'the perfect tee', partly because I'm extremely picky about fit, color, texture, and price points. On the one hand I've been known to pay good money for quality, I've never been partial to paying an obscene amount of money simply for a name. On the rare occasion I can find a tee that bares originality and comes a decent price, I'm known to buy as many as possible.
New York city based brand Eighteenth just released pictures of their forthcoming Spring 2010 collection dedicated to reinventing the classic tshirt. Drastic asymmetrical cuts are complimented by the soft jersey of the tee's in basic black and white. Perfect for the summer months (the designs are amazing and you're skin can actually breathe in them), Eighteenth is available right now online at Anica and will soon be ready for purchase online and in store at Oak, Bona Drag and Des Kohan. The price points are affordable - especially against heavy hitter diffusion lines such as T by Alexander Wang draining pockets - and the quality of the clothing is beyond superb. So you'd better get to it, because if you don't...I will. Believe that.
