Everybody Loves A Crop Top

Last Wednesday before the ANTHOM Live event in Georgetown. Sahra and I decided to enjoy the weather and take a few photos by the Washington Harbor. Keeping it versatile and simplistic, ( my style motto) I paired my vintage DIY reconstructed shorts with an AA crop top and Silence & Noise chiffon vest number. Keep it chic yall.

Kimono Love... A Style Post

So I finally decided to rock my Kimono I purchased at Meeps Vintage  during their grand re-opening party last year. After contemplating how to wear it for a while, I went with what I do best... Keep it simple and let the Kimono be the STAR that it is lol. I felt invincible walking around the city in this fit. Ya'll couldn't tell me NOTHING

*Sings this is how I look with out makeup* lol

I know, I know, summer is coming to an end (only one month left), but that doesn't mean we can't admire these amazingly designed bottoms. Intricate detail, prints, and colors. I love them all

New on the Block: Shop ANTHOM

Meet Ashley and Carla. Co-founders of ANTHOM, a new international online boutique, featuring exclusive, thoughtfully curated clothing and accessories from a number of under-the-radar designers from all over.

I've know Ashley and Carla for quite some time now (Big ups to the DC Blogging scene lol), and when I found out they along with 3rd co-founder Marshall were launching this amazing online boutique, founded April of this year, I was overjoyed. Both Carla, and Ashley have amazing style, and you all will come to see that with pieces they've so thoughtfully decided to carry at Anthom. I had to get to know more about ANTHOM, so I decided to have a little Q&A with Carla.

Break it down for us, what is ANTHOM? Why did you all choose that name, is there a meaning behind it?

 

We wanted a word that was recognizable yet strong and unique (like our merchandise).

 

Why did you all decided to start ANTHOM?

 

We started ANTHOM to highlight unique designers that we had fallen in love over the years and to also feature exclusive ANTHOM capsule collections
 

What do you all hope to accomplish with ANTHOM, what are your goals?

 

To bring unique and beautifully made clothing and accessories to women around the world and to continue working with artists and designers to bring their vision and our aesthetic to life. 

 

How does ANTHOM differ from other online boutique retailers?

 

We have 11 exclusive capsule collections + international designers that have never been sold in the US before.

 

What is the ANTHOM Aesthetic?

 

 It's clean and unique with a bit of edge. Our customer is an educated metropolitan woman who loves fashion and buys quality/uniqueness over quantity. 

 

When buying for ANTHOM, how do you decide what pieces make the cut?

 

We have to love it first! Then we consider other factors like price, production logistics, and whether the pieces fits into our ANTHOM aesthetic. 

 

 Whats your favorite ANTHOM piece currently?

 

The Ksenia Schnaider camo dress is definitely one of my favorites. It's exquisitely made and looks like no other dress I've seen before. 

 

Each one of you have successfully branded yourselves. How did you start and keep the momentum going?

 

The key for us is to maintain consistency and quality (over quantity) in our branding and message. We just have to be rigorous about our approach and the message we want to portray to the public about our brand. 

 How can we stay in contact with you?

 

Twitter, Instagram, Facebook or contact us HERE with specific questions.
