Here at Style Section L.A., we’ve already given away a Blackberry Curve, Evisu jean shorts and Leaf & Rusher skin care products to lucky readers who have signed up for our e-newsletter. For our fourth giveaway, we thought we’d return to a hometown denim brand. Enter a pair of Agave women’s “Tomboy” jeans, all cut, sewn and hand-finished within miles of your backyard (which in our case is a patch of scorched earth watched over by a single garden gnome).
Here are the details on the Tomboy ($225):
-Straight leg with vintage styling; best worn casually rolled up
-Available in two washes, one with subtle, hand-sanded vintage details, the other finished to rougher, abraded perfection and stonewashed to a medium indigo

Last week, we gave away a Blackberry to one very lucky reader. And on Thursday, we’ll announce who will soon be wearing a pair of Evisu women’s SONI boyfriend shorts. Made from Japanese selvage denim, these 100% cotton shorts retail for $225 and are based on a true men’s vintage destroyed jean (think the Rose Bowl flea market–only for this pair you don’t have to spend five hours of your weekend searching in a hot outdoor stadium). Perfect to wear rolled and low on the hip.
Subscribe to our weekly update by midnight tomorrow for your chance to win our swag! |

Last night, we helped The Reformation kick-off their summer shopping weekend at their new W. 3rd Street boutique. And guests sported style that was unique as the store’s one-of-a-kind, reworked vintage wares.
The first fifty shoppers scored gift bags that were also quite original — each was a hand-sewn pouch made from The Reformation’s stock of vintage fabric.
People at the packed party couldn’t get enough of designers Chi Bui and Yael Yaflalo’s whispy, micro-floral dresses, silk spaghetti strap rompers and androgynous, oversized safari blouses. And merchandise flew off the racks so fast that store staff could barely add stock to the selling floor fast enough.
Which means you better hurry in — with all clothes priced 25 percent off through Sunday for Style Section L.A. readers, there’s no telling what will be left if you show up on Monday.
