Beautiful dress, beautiful print. This Amanda Uprichard dress is stunning in person. I can’t wait to get it on a model to do it justice!

Chaser Vintage Band Tees

Posted by Swank Boutique on October 19, 2009

Who doesn’t love an old band t-shirt? You know the one that you can’t get rid of, that you stole from an old boyfriend and then hid from him when you guys broke up. Chaser makes tees with vintage band tour prints that feel like they’ve been worn a few hundred times and our first shipment has just arrived! We currently have 4 designs with more on the way, including tons of non-band prints. These are super soft and perfect for those casual days around town or in class.

No big secret that I’m a huge Queen fan, but who doesn’t love a vintage football tee?

Back print states “We Will Rock You”

Queen Football Tee – $38.00

I think this one might be my favorite of the bunch! The bottom hem has been sheared off to create a loose, asymmetrical hemline, matching the raw edges of the sleeves. I’d personally take a pair of scissors to the neckline, too, and wear it off one shoulder.

Rolling Stones Raw Edge Tee – $38.00

I’m a little sad that Nirvana can already be considered ‘vintage’ but I’m recovering quickly. This tee is long enough to wear with leggings and (obviously) your favorite Doc Marten boots and plaid shirt around your waist. An iconic tee to say the least, these tees won’t last long.

New Commando Opaque Tights

Posted by Swank Boutique on October 19, 2009

What is the biggest complaint you have when it comes to tights? If you didn’t answer the waistband cuts into my sides, you’re either not a girl or you’re too skinny and the rest of us hate you. If you’re one of the rest of us, slip into our new Commando Matte Tights—a hybrid of commando’s signature dig-free waistband and luscious, super-premium legwear. It’s invisible, comfortable and comes in both black and chocolate brown! They’re shown below in the paisley print waistband but are available in solid waistbands as well. The fashion press has been going crazy about them—check out the article from Lucky Magazine online below.

$34.00 each, also available in footless $32.00 each

The ever-popular Love Potion tees by Wildfox Couture are back and this time they’re available in 4 different styles! We have one left of the original crew neck Love Potion No.9, as well as the same tee in a purple print in dirty white or faded black. The v-neck version (shown above) features the small Wildfox logo and the Love Potion No.9 design on the back. (note: the v-neck tees run shorter than the crew neck styles.) I’m personally loving the bright red Montara Cinched Sweater Jacket by Free People! Cinch it for a ruffled collar like Devon is wearing or leave it un-cinched and it has a swing coat-style. The thin wool fabric is perfect for those cold Fall nights coming up!

Wildfox Couture V-neck Love Potion Tee – $66.00

Free People Montara Cinched Sweater Jacket – $148.00

Blank Skinnie Classique Studded Jeans – $74.00

Dare to bare in this combo! Sequins are everywhere these days and we can’t get enough of them (or keep them in stock!) Everyone has been going crazy for these little cropped tees and tanks we keep getting in. Wear them with a high-waisted skirt (above) for a little peek-a-boo or pair them over a tank or dress for a covered, layered look. We opened the show at our latest fashion show with this look, replacing the skirt for our Free People Keyhole Strapless Slip ($48.00) in black. So easy, so fun, so versatile!

Free People Voluminous Sequin Tank – $78.00

Tag Elements Rodeo Double-Knit Pencil Skirt – $88.00

We fought them at first, but cut-outs are here to stay—at least for the season. We’re loving this slick little silk and chiffon dress. The small cut-outs at the waist and the keyhole in the back make us want to wear this out all night! The top collar is sheer black chiffon, so this dress is definitely not for the faint of heart but we say rock it! For day: pair with a black cami underneath and wear a blazer with tights!

Free People Menswear Cut-out Dress – $98.00

Our new favorite sweater is almost gone! This long-sleeved Tunic Swing Sweater by Topin is perfect just as it is, but can also be belted for a defined waist. It literally looks amazing with everything we’ve paired it with so far—wide leg pants, skinny jeans, a mini skirt, a dress. The possibilities are endless. Going sooo fast, but don’t fret! We’re going to get more in as soon as we can!

Such an easy outfit for everyday or dinner at night! This Chiffon-trim Racerback Tank by 7 for All Mankind is so soft and available in this slate grey color or in off-white and has a lace trimmed chiffon tie at the back (shown below.) It’s the perfect layering tank. Between its built-in bra and loose-fitting style, you’ll never want to take it off! Paired with our Fall staple sweater, the Topin Open Long Cardigan, you can run around town looking chic all day! This cardigan is absolutely a must-have if you don’t already own it! Available in both ivory or solid black, these pair with EVERYTHING and are great as carry-ons when you travel. Throw it in your bag and pull out as needed. It won’t wrinkle, and will look great all day and night. We also love our inexpensive skinnies by Blank denim. Clean wash and navy blue studs along the back pockets make these trendy but still a staple for our Fall wardrobe. Worn with our DV by Dolce Vita Maiya Pumps in Griggio.
