Blazers have made a comeback and are a must for your wardrobe this season. They are easy to throw over casual tops, beautiful blouses and dresses, giving your outfit the sophisticated look that is very fashionable now.

Blazers give your outfit much more character and style than a typical jacket or cardigan would.

The several different styles of blazers available at Angel that will give your outfit the fresh look you need. I’m loving Elizabeth and James, their blazers are fashion forward and can go from day to night with the change of a top or pants, not to mention they are incredibly well made and have an amazing fit.

 

Outfit one features the fitted blazer – Elizabeth IV Blazer in Dusty Mauve, $394.00.

This jacket is perfect, paired with skinny jeans and a tee and instantly gives your outfit an edgier look. This blazer also looks super cute paired with a pencil skirt or over a dress. Outfit two features the boyfriend blazer – Relaxed Blazer in driftwood $394.00.

This looks cute over a dress as pictured but also can be paired with a casual top and boyfriend jeans for a very stylish look.

Outfit three freatures the Drapy Blazer in white, $448.00. This is a very chic blazer and would be perfect for the upcomming holiday parties paired with a pair of dress pants. Outfit four, the new boyfriend blazer – Resort James Blazer in black, $434.00.

This is a nice, sleek, clean blazer that is 100% silk. This blazer can be worn over anything and will instantly dress up any outfit you choose to pair it with.

Enza Costa, who’s collection bears the designer’s signature name, is a fantastic line for us and delighted that the latest has arrived. We love the color palette, we love the fit, and most importantly, we love to layer ‘em up.

Enza uses tissue weight fabrics that are meant to layer seamlessly over one another. Her tanks, dresses, and tees are deliberately cut in the 1930’s style so that the layered pieces flatter the body without adding bulk or extra width.

 

Come hurry and scoop up such your favorite styles back in new colors such as fawny orange, gorgeous grey hues, as well as more viscose over sized tops in black. The look is effortless, feminine, and California cool.

Dosa of California, one of our most treasured lines of all time, has just delivered its latest Fall collection to the Wendy Foster Dress Shop – and I can’t wait to tell you about it..

The Los Angeles based designer, Christina Kim, typically searches south of the border each season to find inspiration in her fabrics, colors, and overall look. This time the traveler 2009 collection, “collected inspirations,” was drawn from a diverse range of influences: Albrecht Durer, Robert Therrien, Jerry Sohn, Maureen Doherty, Kyrgyzstan, and The Last Whole Earth Catalog.

The textures are a mix of beaded, handwoven jamdani, patchworked and ruffled silks, appliqued jackets and skirts, and quilted velveteen coats. Raymond Meier’s photographs beautifully capture both the textures and colors of the clothing: dichondra, Bandol, Mephisto and Astrakhan.

Fabulous as it always is, hope to see you here soon!

Autumn Cashmere

Autumn Cashmere’s Ribbed Drape Sweater 264.00 has been our go-to sweater for an uncountable number of seasons, so it is no surprise we loaded up on as many colors as possible this time around.

As soon as these lingering summer days begin to dwindle, we grab our Ribbed Drape Sweaters to pair with leggings and tall boots, or to top off a long dress with a wide belt.

Available in an array of reliable colors, this cashmere/wool blend sweater makes looking effortlessly chic this fall a no brainer. Our first delivery has covered the basics with your option of Vanilla (off-white), Toffee (camel) , Peacock (navy) , Ebony (black) , Frost (heather grey) and Flannel
(charcoal) in sizes X-Small through Large.

What really sets this sweater apart from the rest is its elegant ribbing that flatters your body and gets its name from the way it gracefully drapes around your neck. With gentle, loving care these sweaters will provide warmth and style for many autumn seasons, a nod to the designer’s name.

 

 

We hope you get a chance to see these beautiful sweaters while we have them!

Gypsy 05

Brother and sister duo, Osi and Dotan Shoham have been revitalizing nature through fashion with their line Gypsy05 since 2005. Their trademark maxi dresses are the ideal summer throw on and come in a multitude of colors and dye-designs.

With a background in the Los Angeles garment dye industry, Osi and Dotan focus largely on color and one of a kind designs that incorporate organic fabrics, low impact dyes, and water based printing.

Although we wouldn’t mind having one dress in every color due to its versatility and comfort, what we love most about the collection is its mission of environmental awareness. Nothing beats cute, easy clothing that makes the planet a better place!
