Boardroom to Ballet

We love how elongating a tone on tone ensemble can be. This versatile look can take you from a day at the office to an evening of ballet at the theatre with girlfriends.

Neutral Dressing

Neutral dressing always feels classic yet modern. A draped blouse in an elegant silk paired with this season's most popular trouser cut makes a fashionable professional look. Layered accessories add personality and texture while richly hued platforms spice things up with a dash of sex appeal.

Get more mileage out of your party skirts by dressing them down for day. Casual ankle boots, a feminine blouse and a cozy cardigan give a glitzy skirt understated appeal.

Print on Print

So many women of late brag to us about not matching when they spent more time mismatching than they would have otherwise. Snooze. Oh, excuse us, we just dozed off. Matchy-matchy is quite of-the-moment and so is mixing separates. Do what feels authentic to you. It's time to have fun with your wardrobe. Don't be a slave to a uniform or what everyone else deems cool.

Shop this look and so much more HERE.

We love you.

Look We Love: Transitional Trends

At A20, we treat trends as a source of cultural inspiration.  By following some of the most talented designers around today and the companies whose exhaustive research serves to predict and dictate trends, we are able to curate a collection of designers whose body of work is luxurious and original.  Many unknown, low-end designers are such for a reason: inexperience, low quality fabrics, unethical production practices, knock-off "designs"....  That said, know your designers.  Understand why collections are priced as they are.  Educate yourself on what is culturally relevant in the world, not just what feels relevant in our small corner of the planet.  While A20 has a local clientele whom we adore, nothing makes us feel better than customers from other cities and countries who "get it."  By "it" we mean US.  Augusta Twenty.  Our bubble of carefully edited collections, fits, colors, looks...music, confidence, joy.  It's not always an easy stance to take in a small town in the south.  That's okay, we wear it as a badge of pride. 

The following are a few of our favorite internationally relevant, transitional trends which feel very of-the-moment, but will not be outdated in seasons to come:

Matching Monochrome

Split Sleeves

 

Print Blocked Dresses

 

Surrealist Influences

 

Slouched Slim Denim

 

 Mediterranean Prints

All these and so much more available in-store now.  We'll keep you in the loop with new fall trends as they arrive this summer.  Follow us on the social media platform of your choice for up-to-the-minute inspirations and happenings.  Have a beautiful day.

Holiday Wish List

We've filed lots of Holiday Wish Lists so far this year, so we figured it's time to fill out our own.

Jennifer:

Rebecca Taylor cardigan - I love a cozy grandpa sweater. This updated version from Rebecca Taylor has a shorter proportion and a tailored slouch, making it a flattering layering piece.

Vince scarf - I want to wrap up in this infinity scarf every day! The color is versatile and I love something soft and cozy around my neck in cooler weather.

Suede fringe necklace - I have a leather obsession. This handmade suede fringe necklace is a unique statement piece to update everything from a little black dress to a t-shirt and jeans.

Emerson Thorp blouse - Olive green is my favorite color of the season. This button down blouse gives a nod to the military trend while maintaining classic appeal with its tailored cut. I love the weight of the silk, too. It's luxurious yet comfortable.

Tokyo Milk Dead Sexy handcreme - This scent is warm and slightly masculine. The cedar notes remind me of a cedar closet. And who can resist packaging with a skull and flowers?

Twelfth Street LBD - This is a fabulous take on the little black dress. I would wear it to holiday parties or make it every day with an oversized cardigan and boots.

Melissa:

Rebecca Taylor tassel sweater - I can just see myself opening gifts under the tree in this sweater.

Vince dobby plaid scarf - Any time I find a fabulous scarf only to turn the tag over and see, "Made in Italy of Italian fabrics," I must purchase immediately. I'm a fabric snob; can't help it.

Balboa earrings - Designer Jane Pope represents the south well, appearing in Vogue and Lucky magazines (just to name a few). She pioneered the vintage reworked jewelry movement and her work still remains innovative. I am in love with these Asian inspired earrings. They remind me of my favorite piece of furniture at home - an antique Chinese secretary. My finacee's grandmother always said that you should have at least one piece of Chinoiserie in every room. Somehow these earrings make that notion relevant when getting dressed each morning.

French lavender sachets - Each of the sachets in this set is covered in Roberto Cavalli printed Italian silk and smells like heaven. With four, I can scatter them on shelves with my sweaters or in a lingerie drawer.

Mink Pink Goldfrapp Cape - I get asked at least once a day how to wear this wrap, to which my response is always, "how can't you wear this piece??" I would throw it on over a cocktail dress, with jeans, as a bathing suit cover up, or even as a bath robe. Love.

I am *in love* with the newest scent from Lollia. I plan on battling winter dryness by luxuriating in this bubble bath each evening.
