Dance music emanating from a DJ booth, chic young people mingling and chatting excitedly, decked out in festive attire. The occasion? The launch of ALIOMI, a new online boutique specializing in vintage, DIY, and custom clothing and accessories. Created by a group of girlfriends who grew up in New York City together, the ALIOMI e-boutique is \"like raiding a friend's closet whose style you love,\" says their blog: http://aliomi.blogspot.com/. The fashions offered are a testament to NYC's sidewalks and the diversity and originality that are showcased daily on the city streets. On the website, you'll find a carefully chosen selection of vintage finds that are a mix of girly and edgy that, best of all, won't break the bank. From denim cutoffs to floral dresses and quirky blazers, ALIOMI has all of the cool-girl essentials. Their DIY section boasts reworked staples, such as studded shorts and oversized tees with distinctive leather pockets. Visiting their accompanying blog is a must while scouring the virtual clothing racks. The girls behind ALIOMI have posted inspirational fashion photography, from street style shots to fashion spreads, and have incorporated personal photos and anecdotes to boot. Suffering from wardrobe boredom or just want an excuse to buy something new? ALIOMI is what the doctor ordered for a healthy dose of spunk and femininity, with a hefty serving of individuality. -- Media Brecher"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
