J Brands Houlihan - Homage to "Hot Lips"

J Brand honored Major Margaret J. "Hot Lips" Houlihan of M.A.S.H. with their skinny cargo pant. The Houlihan will no doubt be one of the hot items of the summer for those who join the ranks of the stylish and fashion forward. As "military" trends continue to influence fashion as far as Fall 2010, these fatiques will keep you on the edge and get you in the mind set of "reporting for duty" - although your only duty will be to look casually chic in this uniform. Consider sizing up as they are best worn slightly loose fitting - not quite the same fit as their close relative - the "jegging". Hysteria receives their first delivery of the Houlihan this week. Retails for $230.

Sarah Jessica Parker's cute Michelle Vale bag is the perfect bag for getting around town this summer. The Balance Tote is $355 and is available in a variety of colors. Come see what every style girl is loving about the Balance. Michelle Vale's signature hardware is on the inside - so refreshing. Now you will have a bag that can go everywhere and will be timeless because after all, it's a tote! There are pockets on the inside for your phone, keys, lipgloss and a secured zipper pocket. Come discover the simplicity of the understated luxe bag - we promise you won't be disappointed.

Sucker Jeans have found their way to Garden & Gun...

although Hysteria has had them since the very beginning. The first group hit our doors September of 2009 and we've been taking followers who love the brand one by one. It's not a hard sell either. The soft touch of the puckered 10 oz seersucker that is 97% cotton and 3 % spandex speaks for itself. Then you try them on and you're amazed at the fit and the comfort factor. Four styles to choose from for women and another four styles for men. Savannah, Monroe, Fulton and Macon - named after southern cities with a lot of charm. Sucker Jeans proudly calls Charleston, SC home ~ a city we feel a kindred spirit to in Old Town Alexandria. Although we are located in the historic district, we are quite progressive and don't mind reminding you every now and then. Check out Sucker in the newest release of Garden & Gun Magazine (April/May 2010 issue).
