We got a giant box from In4mation of all the goodies we gave you a sneak peak of way back in August. The styles are so wearable, comfy, cute and totally malleable to whatever your personal style is. These pieces are great for winter and I’ve gotten a ton of compliments on the sweater already. We’ll definitely be getting a lot of use from these pieces. Many thanks to In4mation!!

When you see booth after booth of clothing you start seeing trends emerge - and one of them was plaid - still - mostly of the purple variety. Check out who’s getting grungey for fall . . . .
My favorite plaid: purple/black & turquoise/black with rainbow lurex by UNIF
M.I.S.S. hearts lots of things, but one of our most favorite things is sweatpants. When we’re not in our fancy pants, we’re undoubtedly in our sweat pants. No M.I.S.S. or Mama photoshoot would not be official without me and Liz running around in our favorite pair of sweats. We’re not the ones in front of the camera - we’re too busy making sure everyone else looks good. So, we were very excited to see several lines offering their take on sweat pants. What follows are our favorites . . . 
Baby French Terry Pants by In4mation
In4mation launched their women’s collection last year so it was exciting to see how the line has progressed. We even had the chance to meet the women’s designer, Elska Sandor (pictured below), and she personally walked us through the line. It was a wonderful experience to hear Elska describe the inspiration and tell us about all the design details - there were many! We had the pleasure of seeing Holiday 2008 through Spring 2009. Check out more pics and descriptions of each collection after the jump.

In4mation is shipping out it’s women’s Fall 08 collection next month but we have a sneak peak of all the goodness that’s to come. The collection features hoodies, sweaters, tops, pants and skirts in fabrics like wool, cotton and tweed. The color palette features blacks and greys with pops of yummy sounding colors like butternut (yellow), blue maize (turqoise), purple and borscht (deep reddish purple). The sweaters look really cozy and the wool pants look really comfortable - almost a “real pant alternative” to my favorite - sweatpants. The colors form geometric patterns that run throughout the line and are also featured on some of the graphic tees. Check out detail shots of the cut & sew collection and some of the graphics for tees after the jump!
One of the perks of writing for M.I.S.S. is that we get goodies sent to us. In4mation was nice enough to send us some goodies a few weeks back and we’ve been trying to find a great way to showcase them so, a new column is born: “Merci!” Whenever we get stuff we will thank you kindly for all the world to see. The following pieces are from In4mation’s Summer Women’s line (I know they offer women’s now - yay!!). The cut and sew is really nice with lots of details. I especially love the bullet facing on the waistband and in the zipper opening of the pencil skirt. And tees, you can never go wrong with an in4mation tee. You can purchase the Summer line online here. Stay tuned for updates on new Fall releases!

I know I should have told you earlier, but Digital Gravel is having the ill accelerating sale that gives you bigger discounts every day…the thing is, the longer you wait…the less likely the items you want are still gonna be there. Pick up ladies gear from Obey, In4mation, Upper Playground, Fifty24SF, Tens, Blood Is The New Black and many more. Sleep or don’t sleep…all I know is, your tee collection is looking kind of tired. Zingo baby!
Hawaii-based brand In4mation has always had a dope collection of tees for men. This Spring I’ve noticed a lot of product for the ladies. It’s got a very clean aesthetic and laid-back, down-to-earth appeal to it. These are clothes that you could wear - easily, anywhere. I love the lace-printed detail on the tee and their hoodies look very cozy comfy - perfect for strolls on the beach in the sunset. Check out your local streetwear retailer and Digital Gravel just got a shipment in a few days ago.
