It's no secret that I'm a big fan of the skateboard fashion movement.  Always following the girls' department for skate attire in the mall, Roxy was my signature brand in high school - in fact, the word Roxy is still in a few of my screen names.  Now that I'm older, I'm more likely to wear skater-inspired pieces with heels than with the Etnies I used to practically sleep in.  My style is also grown up in that I'm interested in darker, grittier pieces and sleeker lines, so I was more than thrilled when I heard that Quiksilver - Roxy's parent company - was launching a Women's Line for Fall.

I first heard of the new line through the Work in Progress blog, which features a YouTube video for the clothing that got me feeling completely inspired.  The line includes skinny jeans, extreme flares, tanks, sweaters and vests, all designed to have a boyfriend feel and look perfectly thrown together no matter what you pull on.

With its grown-up lines and colors, the new Quiksilver line could easily serve as a one-stop shopping place for women looking to build autumn wardrobes, whether you're into the boardriding scene or not.  The sophisticated pieces do come with a slightly more sophisticated price tag, with items being affordable yet still steeper in cost than most Roxy brand pieces.

The new brand also boasts a few eco-friendly pieces.  While it would be cooler if the whole line were designed with the environment in mind, it's a start, and a step in the right direction - And with such versatile pieces, you just may end up buying less and helping out the earth and your pocketbook.  I like this new Quiksilver progression enough that I just may start plastering Roxy stickers everywhere again.
