Today’s pick: Vena Cava for Aqua

If you’ve been lusting after the American duo Vena Cava’s collection of sophisticated feminine pieces with a dark edge from afar, but afraid of the steep runway prices, fear no more! Design duo Sophie Buhai and Lisa Mayock created a capsule collection for Aqua, the juniors ready-to-wear line at Bloomingdale’s. The downside: It’s only available in the States. (What’s up with the no-international-shipping-policy Bloomie’s?) “It’s sort of a greatest hits of Vena Cava collection,” says Mayock of the 19-piece line which features the designers’ signature hand-drawn prints on flirty separates in silk, velvet and lace. The collection ranges from $98-$198 and hits all Bloomingdale’s stores and Bloomingdales.com on September 1st.
