Just-Discovered Stores

The past week has been good to us here at Lady Licorice. We came across three new online shops that we couldn't believe we didn't know about yet...because they were just that great. So rather than making you check the Fashion Directory every few days for new additions (as we know many of you do), we're profiling these stores for you below. Hot tops, one-of-a-kind shoes, and amazing jewelry await you.
Akira Chicago
Apparently it's time to take a trip to the Windy City. Everything at Akira Chicago is special and fun, plus the price is right. If you love shoes, they've got great styles we'd never seen before by Dollhouse, Kenzie, and BCBG Girls, to name a few.
Hysteria Clothing
You know how eventually, it's time to stop buying blazers for work that cost $40? When you're ready to make the jump to "real woman" clothes, Hysteria is the place to start. Their soothingly spare site design and presentation of designer clothing that's $200, not $500, means you'll feel good, not desperatly cash-strapped, about moving up in the world.
Atomic Rox
There's just something about the Atomic Rox website that makes you feel like you're at Disneyworld. And we don't know about you, but personally, nothing puts us in the mood to buy jewelry like Space Mountain. Ok, maybe not. But Atomic Rox has the ideal not-too-grown-up earrings and necklaces you'll need to balance the sophisticated stuff you bought at Hysteria (see above).

Raynelda - Not Your Grandmother's Crochet

We may have found the perfect solution to two of the fairer sex's main dilemmas: pouffy hair, and what to wear over a bandeau bikini at the beach. Raynelda is a fabulous line of crochet accessories, including hats, bags, tops and necklaces. Take a look at a few choice items here:

Crochet Ribbon Hat - $30.00
What could be cuter on an annoying-hair day than a bright coral pink topper like this one? Especially if it's made of Peruvian wool, which sounds downright luxurious.
Crochet Necklace - $40.00
So feminine (and so lightweight)! And haven't you secretly always wanted to re-introduce pom poms into your wardrobe?
Crochet Tunic: $190.00
What to put on over your bathing suit when it's time to head over to that little surfside cafe for a margarita and a club sandwich. Raynelda's crochet tunic, with pretty grosgrain ribbon laced through the top, is great for the beach or with jeans at night.

Rockabilly Heaven

What's one thing you're always seeing on eBay when shopping for clothing and accessories? Other than "emo" and "cyberpunk", does the word "Rockabilly" ring a bell? Used to describe a style that's part early rock n roll, part pin-up, rockabilly clothing is a welcome respite from what you'll often find in stores. When you've got to have a skirt that brings out the hourglass in you, or a bright red cap-sleeve top, or a killer pair of fishnets, look no further than:

This week's completely unaffordable slice of heaven


Crimes & Misdemeanors Tshirt at Hotter Than Hollywood ($160.00)
If you're going to pay $160 for a thin piece of fabric, it better be as unusual as this one! We love the beautiful fleur de lis (which is dear to ours hearts because of the French connection in Montreal, where Lady Licorice is based) on this one.
