perhaps it’s the impending birth of my new baby, or maybe it’s all of this california sun, but something has got me feeling the more relaxed and romantic vibes lately. i recently came across the new spring 2016 collection by dÁ´en. i’d had them bookmarked on my computer when i ran into my friend katie of mother mag wearing the beautiful raw silk quintana dress. i’m so glad i got to see one of their pieces up close, because they really are beautiful and well-made!

the brand is a new collective of creative women based in los angeles, and the line is vintage-inspired with a focus on elevated basics in quality fabrics, all the while managing to keep prices quite affordable. the clothes are produced within the united states when possible, with beautiful handwoven textiles ethically sourced overseas. they’re exactly the types of clothes i want to be wearing right now! and i can’t wait to order my first piece. i’ve really got my eye on the raw silk fringed tate tunic!
