Weekend Shopper: Revolve Clothing Comes to Melrose Avenue

Revolveclothing.com is one of the best places to buy the brands we love: Theory, Rag & Bone, Builty by Wendy and Vena Cava. But one of the most challenging aspects of shopping online is not knowing how things will fit. And nobody likes to pay the shipping and handling to return something they don’t end up keeping. But have no fear. On Saturday, August 23, Revolve Clothing is having a champagne grand opening for their first brick and mortar store at 8452 Melrose Avenue in West Hollywood. Now you can tag potential purchases—like this chic belted aubergine dress by Vena Cava—online and then come to the store the next day where they’ll be awaiting a proper fitting.

We’re also huge fans of Eva—a Nolita hipster outpost that’s holding a massive 50 to 80 percent off sale on stuff from Grey Ant and Vivienne Anglomania. From now until August 24! Which doesn’t leave you a lot of time. Get your butt down to 227 Mulberry Street in NYC on the double!

Speaking of sales in NYC. Reason (215 East 5th Street) is selling off its cashmere sweaters, T-shirts, jeans and hats for up to 75% off. And for the dressier folks, John Varvatos is also doing a 75% off sale. Both of these sales end on August 23!

If your wallet is flush and your ready to invest in your autumnal threads, then check out Kirna Zabete’s brand new online store at kirnazabete.com for the perfect fall dresses from Alexander Wang, Stella McCartney and Narciso Rodriguez. Thakoon’s graffiti silk twill dress is just too perfect.
