Continuing to bridge the gap between high fashion and high function with clean lines, simple colors, and perfect fits. Made with the performance needs of cyclist in mind, these tops are built with the durability of work wear and the artisanal look of high end casual.

Maurie and Eve

There's some black magic afoot with fashion and hot Aussie label Maurie and Eve wants to put you under its spell. After toning it down a bit for Spring/Summer Collection, the Autumn Playlist Collection steps up to flashing light bulbs with a series of edgy, clean cut, shimmering white and gold sequins, transforming the basic "black dress" to glitz and glam. Each piece calls out its own bold character and can be worn during the day or night. For a more casual look, layer a close-fitting leather jacket over and pair it up with your favorite thick wedge bootie.

Sneak Peak "As Is"

With the rebuild of our main clothing store officially under way, we thought a preview of some of the new product coming for Spring 2011 would be fitting.

We found As Is while walking the many miles of trade shows this fall. Much of the collection can be worn by both sexes, and captures the enchantment of the Southwest with Native American embroidery on slouchy t-shirts, tanks, and dresses.

As Is debuts at Villains February 2011.

Ksubi Women's Fall 2010

Since its arrival in 2002, KSUBI has always had a special place in the heart of certain fashionistas. The artists,musicians, surfers and skaters, the punks who grew up a bit but still hold true to their roots...the girls who borrow their style from the boys and make it completely and utterly their own.
This seasons women's collection has brought a throwback to the early nineties but done in a completely modern way. Thermal tanks that loosely drape over the body, baggy boyfriend shorts in a perfectly faded wash, and my favorite, the floral lace printed denim in the spray-on fit. And remember that badass jacket, with the studded eagle on the back...they did that for the ladies too.

For being an Australian brand they definitley know what us California girls like. A dash of sugar to offset a whole lotta spice.


Draped Chifon Top, Super Skinny Jeans



Curved mesh tank, Spray on jeans in rose, shoes- Fang by Ego and greed


Braid back sweater, Baggy roll shorts, Cheap Monday- Maja Bra, Shoes-Sam Edelman- Falken

Shoes to Fall Head Over Heels For

San Francisco weather is starting to shift as the official first day of fall quickly approaches. The last few warm days offer up plenty of opportunities to wear flimsy dresses and shorts, while the chilly nights remind us that we need to ground those summer clothes with something a bit more substantial...and that is where fall shoes come in. Though the knee length riding boot is one of the first thing us San Francisco ladies think of, there are a bevy of other options out there, and Villains Shoes has them all. Everything from the ranch boot to the clog oxford, the tasseled pump to the gumsole chukka wedge. Each one offering up a unique twist to fall dressing. Go bare legged or spruce up with tights and socks, either way you'll be ready for whatever the weather, and fashion, throws at you this season.
