The Rag & Bone Deck Jacket is so cool even our model can’t stop checking it out!

Atticus journeyed to Raleigh this weekend for the opening of our Raleigh Denim bfff’s new endeavor, the Curatory. The workshop, warehouse and storefront hybrid is nothing short of spectacular, but dual 6 a.m. flights mean we’re still catching up, so please stay tuned for a proper update!

In the meantime, (since embarrassingly, I can barely turn my camera on) we’ll leave the images to the professionals. Check out these absolutely beautiful photos of the Curatory, courtesy of our new friend Nick.

Let’s talk about my weekend for a second. What? You don’t want to hear about my weekend? Well too damn bad! Get your own blog then. And update it more frequently because I’m not even talking about this past weekend.

Never in my life have I seen so many guys assembled in one place just killing it in denim and sneaks. Everywhere I looked, it was like a crooked tongues members-only meeting and somehow I snagged an invite. At one point there may have been drool.

We were helping some friends with a video shoot and were too busy dancing for 15 takes to accurately capture the mood, but here’s a little sneak peak. Bonus points if you can spot the Loeffler Randall! And don’t you worry, as soon as the vid’s out, you’ll be the first to see it.

Thanks new Doomtree friends. Atticus will drape you in fur anytime!

Model off duty style is a rare glimpse of perfection. You get to witness the world’s most beautiful clothing on the size it was actually crafted for, and get a voyeurish peek at the model’s own unique interpretation. Plus, leather jackets. What is it about models and leather jackets?

Atticus’s own beloved model and brand new member of the official adult club, Raquel, let us check out what she rocks on the rare days she’s not slaving away for us.

We’ve always wanted an Amelia Earhart leather jacket too.

The farm weekend upstate was a smashing sartorial success! For your viewing pleasure:

Our models will do anything for a good shot!

We’ve been on an elated high since our Raleigh Denim event. A torrential downpour on Friday the 13th eventually turned into double rainbows (literally!) and Sarah and Victor’s visit was brilliant, amazing, insightful and the most fun we’ve had in a very long time.

We delighted in showing them around town (meaning we took them to 3 of the only 3 places we ever go) and Victor even dropped his own version of deep thoughts: “It’s better to make too little and have it all gone than to make too much and have left overs.” Word Victor, word. While we were at it, we even managed to sneak in an interview question! Without further ado, the one and only question I ever ask:

If your style had a soundtrack, what would it be?

“The National, Gayngs, Rosebuds, Megafun, Caribou and of course Kayne and Jay-Z.”

You heard it here first. Thank you again to everyone who shared the fun: everyone who attended, the incredible staff at Graze, our sick dj, our lovely photographer and of course Raleigh Denim.

Best friend bracelets coming soon guys!

It’s official. We’re in love. If we could carve our names next to theirs on a tree, we would. If we could shake your shoulders and tell you how amazing this is, trust us, we would.

Raleigh Denim designers, Victor and Sarah Lytvinenko, are coming to Atticus, Friday, August 13, from 4–8 pm. They’ll be on hand to chat denim and personally fit and style you in your next favorite pair of jeans. Even though Victor tends to act a little like your mom because inevitably, he’ll ask what you think of the rise, you’ll be blown away by their brilliance and sheer dedication to crafting straight-forward, impeccable denim.

Hand sewn on vintage machines, with selvedge woven on the same looms that churned out original Levis (the couple set up shop in the company’s abandoned warehouse), Raleigh Denim sources all materials from within 200 miles of their home base in North Carolina. Their signatures of hand-made tradition are infused in every pair, literally. They sign every piece produced, because they “want people to know that every single pair is made by real people.”

You can check out event details and RSVP on facebook. And unless you want Shari to eat all of your delicious cookies from Graze, I’d try to show up early.

We had plenty of time to get cozy at the airport.

An extremely turbulent, hand-hold inducing plane ride followed by a few nerve-calming greyhounds at our favorite establishment, and Kiki and I were ready to face 15 appointments packed into 3 short days. We swooned over seasoned favorites like Rag&Bone, Simon Miller and Billykirk, while scoping out up and comers we can’t wait to add to the Atticus family. We drank 27 pitchers of margaritas (it was 90 degrees!), hustled our way through the city exchanging our usual angel/devil roles and thanks to generous friends, found enough room in our cozy guest bed for a gigantic box fan.

Not even a rerouted flight and 9 hour rental car ride from Indianapolis could squelch our excitement. Luckily, we can’t spare a second pinning over our New York love because we’ve got orders to write and an incredible party to plan. As always, stay tuned!

As the inaugural post in our newest series, we figured although it may come as a shock, we’d fess up to the fact that our lives are not champagne and sparkledust ALL the time. Most of the time, yes, but sometimes a girl’s just gotta pack up her 3 a.m. guilty pleasure in an Alexander Wang bag for lunch the next day!

This fashion assault comes courtesy of Stephani, but really, it could have been any of us. It’s not like we’ve ever (hypothetically!) each ordered our own pizza and dramatically shushed each other during an intense Gossip Girl session.

So stay tuned for more insider access to our always fashionable, non-stop glamorous lives. In the mean time, if you’ve got a similar high/low story or picture, leave a comment or send it to [email protected]. Best overshare wins a special treat!
