cheap chica - alias premium denim

our querida fashion contributor liiana vazquez founder of the cheap chica's guide to style just uncovered a denim treasure for you...

It’s easy to find an amazing pair of jeans when you’re shopping for Paige, Rock & Republic and even the infamous Rag & Bone…but they’re completely OOOB (out of our budget) because these designer brands will cost you well over $150!

But you don’t have to spend whole lot to get that designer fit…for all the women out there who are jean obsessed (myself included) and are always looking for the perfect fit, I just found a pair that you’ll totally love!

I recently got to test drive a pair of jeans by Alias. Like most of us, the Alias designers were sick of spending money on premium denim and decided to take matters into their own hands…and create a line that’s affordable for all of us!

The jeans were very comfortable, they had a nice medium weight and the rise wasn’t too low…but if your anything like me, you’ll have to make a trip to the tailor, because these jeans are just a bit too long for someone who’s only 5′2″.

Overall, these jeans fit well and I love the fact that they’re made from high quality denim, but that they only retail for $40! The only downside is that the jeans only come in one style, but I’m super anxious to see what else they have in store for all of us designer denim junkies on a budget!

Now Open: Rosa Chá

Source: Racked.com

High-fashion swimwear from the bikini capital of the world has come to Soho: Last weekend, Brazilian brand Rosa Chá opened at 460 West Broadway. Designer Amir Slama is known for treating the humble two-piece like it's high art (also for hanging out with noted bikini-wearer Naomi Campbell, who tends to appear in his runway shows.) New Yorkers have been able to get his bathing suits around town for a while, but this is the first stand-alone store to open in the city.

The 1,400-square-foot space was designed by the same team who did restaurants Stanton Social, Quality Meats, and Public. They took an unusually non-sunny approach, turning the space into a dark, gold-toned grotto rather than a pastel Hamptons wonderland. The shop carries bathing suits for men and women, plus towels, totes, and cover-ups, should the Brazilian-ness of your suit prove a bit to much for the walk back to the car.
