Alternative Apparel Holiday 2012 Press Preview

Below, Intern LCogs visits the Alternative Apparel holiday preview as I was home nursing a bad back. God bless muscle relaxers and Advil.



Alternative Apparel's new line of clothing for this holiday season is a comfort-seeker's dream. Their clothing is incredibly soft, 100% cotton, and has a vintage, cozy look and feel to it. Their inspiration for the new line came from the neighborhood vibe of San Francisco, which translates to lots of color, some great holiday patterns, and an all-around hip and relaxed winter aura.



I can just picture myself curled up by the fire, drinking hot cocoa, feeling lazy and tired, but still looking put together 'cause I'd be rocking a colorful hoodie or one of these patterned sweaters.

Alongside the colorful and patterned apparel were some really fantastic purses and handbags that were of similar style to the clothing: retro and urban-inspired. 

Look for the Alternative Apparel boutique at Macy's Herald Square next to the Impulse Department, normally on 2, but now on 3 during store renovations.

Two Bags at Macy's Herald Square

Two very different styles of bags, but I'd be happy with both in my closet.

First, the hipster fabulous Alternative Apparel bags. And by hipster I mean modern hippie fabulous.

This is a little smushy fabulous. Visit here for a proper photo.

And the R&EM line, available only at Macy's: trendy, affordable, and vegan. And by vegan I don't mean this is just a plastic bag.

 

Luckily the R&Ems are so inexpensive, you can get the tote and have your clutch, too.
