Primp Clothing Brings Girly Without the Frilly

Your favorite sweats aren’t just for wearing at home anymore.  Primp designers Wells Butler and Emily Kersman have brought us high fashion in the form of lounge-wear.  Primp now features dresses, sweaters, and t-shirts along with the brand’s famous sweats.  

Primp clothing is unique, comfortable, and above all- girly and feminine.  Butler and Kersman may be shrewd businesswomen, but deep down they know what every woman knows:  at the end of the day, we just want to pamper ourselves.  Primp got its start long before it was a brand.  One of designer Wells Butler’s favorite past times used to be shopping at thrift stores, then using her imagination and design skills to alter thrift finds into brand new looks.  Butler’s aesthetic gives a definite nod to 1980’s fashion, possibly because that’s when she got her start.  

While the Primp girls did have a class together at The Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising, they were actually introduced via a common client.  At the time, both girls were still studying at FIDM.  Butler was working at a high-end women’s boutique clothing store, and Kersman was working as an esthetician.  Together, they had the vision to create an upscale women’s clothing line– and the knowledge to market it.

When Primp first launched in 2004, Butler and Kersman made every item by hand and personally delivered the clothes to the few boutiques willing to carry them.  Within months, Primp was being worn by Jessica Simpson, Hilary Duff, and Paris Hilton.  Primp’s comfortable, stylish, and girly pieces were seen on “The Newlyweds”, and on “The Simple Life”, sparking major interest in the brand.  Now Primp is available at high-end women’s boutiques throughout the world.

Let Your Bohemian Side Out With True Religion Jeans

In 2002, designer Jeffrey Lubell realized that something was missing from upscale womens’ wear. Looking great is always important, but if you aren’t comfortable in your clothes then you’ll never feel great too. For many people, the bohemian look is like a second skin—relaxed and comfortable while making a statement about who you are. But hippie doesn’t have to be sloppy. Jeffrey Lubell founded True Religion Jeans in 2002 and created a clothing line that embodies hippie and bohemian, while featuring great accents and tailoring for an upscale, put-together look.

True Religion Jeans are American made, with an aesthetic that looks back at 1970’s styling. Of course, the modern jeans connoisseur wants a jean pant that is more modern—and True Religion delivers. With more tailoring than the jeans of the 1970’s, like smaller flares and thinner legs, True Religion Jeans fit perfectly. True Religion offers a host of jean styles for any preference. Find your fit, then find your style. From the straight-leg "Johnny" to the flared "Joey", these jeans fit comfortably, maximize your assets and play down your problem areas.

Each True Religion jean style also comes in a wide range of looks. Different embroideries, threads, and embellishments, combined with hand sanding, make each pair different, so you can have several pairs of the same style but a wardrobe full of very different looks.

Since its 2002 inception, True Religion has branched out. The brand now offers sportswear and knitwear, as well as several lines of licensed products like handbags, swimwear, footwear, and fragrance. True Religion is a favorite of celebrities like Sharon Stone, Britney Spears, and even Britney’s son Sean Preston Spears. Once you let your inner bohemian roam free with True Religion Jeans and accessories, you’ll never want to stifle her again.

Dress Up and Rock Out In True Religion’s "Joey" Jean
With great tailoring and flared legs, True Religion’s "Joey" jean is a comfortable, versatile look that you can wear out to lunch or out at night. The Destruction Wash is a Lindsay Lou favorite! Wear it with boots for the perfect concert-going look.

Or, if you prefer a less-distressed look, try the True Religion "Joey" jean in Zuma dark wash. Delicate embroidery on the pockets gives this jean pant a rustic yet feminine look. Well-appointed hand sanding highlights your silhouette, while the tailored top of the leg and the flared leg base elongate the body. These jeans are perfect for casual daytime wear, or dress them up with a sparkly blouse and heeled shoes for a lovely nighttime ensemble. Sharon Stone was photographed wearing the "Joey" jean with sandles and a feminine top while out shopping.

True Religion "Johnny" Jeans Are the Perfect Jean For Any Occasion
Available in the Lindsay Lou boutique in the very complimentary Dark Drifter wash, the True Religion "Johnny" jean is a perfect go-anywhere, anytime jean. This jean features soft hand sanding for a more flattering look. A comfortable low-rise waist of 7 ½ inches accents perfectly with the quietly detailed pockets. Britney Spears is such a huge fan of True Religion, we’re sure she has the "Johnny" jean in her wardrobe!

The Stacey Pant Dresses Up in Alice + Olivia Dresses
Alice + Olivia was launched by designer Stacey Bendet in 2002 with a womens’ boutique clothing line based solely on pants. Bendet got her start as a web designer, with a degree from the University of Pennsylvania. Throughout college, she was known on campus as (staceypants!!!)—because Bendet always had the best, most flattering pants with the best fit.

After graduating, Bendet realized that her passion wasn’t really for web design. Low-rise pants were becoming popular, and Bendet has an eye for the perfect pants. Named for Bendet’s mother, Olivia, Alice + Olivia was born of Bendet’s passion for the perfect pants, and the line originally offered just pants. One of the brand’s first fashion shows was even titled “Just Pants” and featured models wearing only Bendet’s pant creations, and holding up flowers to cover their bare chests. It was at this runway show that Theory’s Andrew Rosen fell for the Stacey Pant, and decided to become a partner in the company. Rosen is not the only celebrity who favors the Stacey Pant. Kate Hudson and the Hilton sisters are also fans of Alice + Olivia’s perfect pants.

Since its 2002 inception, Alice + Olivia has expanded from just pants. The line now offers denim selections, and a popular dress line. Crisp lines and billowing fabrics make Alice + Olivia dresses part Hamptons princess, part Hollywood starlet. Alice + Olivia dresses feature soft, supple fabrics that will keep you cool, comfortable, and confident. Stacey Bendet designs all her clothes to fit perfectly and offer ease of wear. The aesthetic is chic, fun, and flirty, making Alice + Olivia dresses perfect for a Hamptons barbecue or Hollywood movie premier.

Show Your Sexy Silhouette With Alice + Olivia Dresses

Billowy fabrics meet curves with the Alice + Olivia Ruffle Detail Dress. A Paris Hilton favorite, this dress hangs perfectly to showcase your best features. Ruffles around the sleeves create a soft, billowy look to keep you floating on cloud 9 all evening.

Alice + Olivia’s Rouched Grecian Dress features soft fabric, and a belted waist to make you feel like a Greek Goddess. Amazing bead-work along the hem turns this cream-colored silk creation into a wardrobe piece that you’ll love to wear again and again.

Be Princess of Your Own Hampton With Alice + Olivia Billowy Dresses
The Alice + Olivia Organza Mini Dress features horizontal yellow and white stripes on the bodice, and matching vertical stripes on the billowy body. Made of silk, the Organza Mini Dress will look great for a night out with the girls, or fun and flirty at the neighborhood barbecue. An easy halter-style tie showcases your shoulders and neck, while adding comfortable, easy function to this fun dress.

Made of silk, spandex, and sexy lace, the Alice + Olivia Lace Bustier Dress will make you the bell of the ball. This dress is purple and black, and features an attractive tiered effect. Underwire in the bust, and rouching at the empire waist create a lovely silhouette, even while the lace overlay gives the dress a billowy look. The halter style tie showcases your fabulous shoulders and neckline, making the Alice + Olivia Lace Bustier Dress the perfect dress for any evening event.

Look Stunning and Classic In Black Halo Clothing

Designer Laurel Berman combines classic styles with post-modern silhouettes and fabrics for an aesthetic that is sure to please. Black Halo clothing is fun and flirtatious, while maintaining an ambiance of femininity.

Laurel Berman started off with a Political Science degree. After obtaining her Bachelors, she realized that what she really wanted to do was design womens’ clothing. Berman studied at the San Francisco Academy of Fashion, where she honed her skills and developed her talent for creating interesting clothes that look great on any body. Berman created and launched the Black Halo clothing line with an aesthetic that combines tailoring traditions and simple silhouettes with fun, post-modern fabrics. Black Halo is perhaps best known for the Jackie O dress—a dress that always makes the wearer feel lovely, light, and classy. Paris Hilton was lauded when she wore a Black Halo Jackie O dress for appearing happy, healthy, and ladylike.

Other than Black Halo’s use of fun, dimensional textiles, the brand is perhaps best known for its clean lines that create simple, sexy silhouettes. Because Black Halo clothing uses rich, textured fabrics, the tailoring is kept clean and simple, creating a look and style that is not overly fussy. Black Halo clothes are known for comfort, due to the combination of rich textiles and simple construction. Thanks to Laurel Berman’s Black Halo clothing, dressing for an evening out or special event is simple, and creating your own special look is easy. You’ll always look perfectly put together and lovely in Black Halo womens’ clothing.

The Jackie O Dress Features Classic Styling for Any Clothing Tastes
Black Halo designer Laurel Berman is known for playing with textiles to create different looks and achieve different results, often simply by changing fabrics while using the same dress silhouette. Her Jackie O dress comes in many different versions, which is why so many celebrities have worn it. From three-quarter length sleeves, to the Jackie O Cut Out sleeveless dress, Black Halo offers a version of this classic, feminine style to please anybody. The Jackie O even comes in a Mini version, featuring one shoulder to really highlight the lines of the wearer’s collarbone and shoulders.

Black Halo Clothing is More Than Jackie O Dresses
While Black Halo is known around the world for its Jackie O dress and various versions thereof, the brand does also offer other stunning clothes. Sarah Jessica Parker, who is looked up to by women worldwide for her sense of classy style, loves her Black Halo Strapless Jumpsuit. Featuring that classic, tailored Black Halo fit, the Strapless Jumpsuit can be worn with diamonds for walking the red carpet, or pearls for an intimate dinner date. Either way, you’ll be turning heads.

If you prefer the ease and comfort of separates, the Black Halo Top With Contrast Tie is a sure show-stopper. Paired with black or gray pants, this top has just enough billow to have you floating on your very own cloud. The tailoring is classic Black Halo, so you won’t be blown away with too much billowing fabric. The Top With Contrast Tie fits like a dream, combining modern styling with the classic tailoring every body needs to look its best.
