When one of the world's largest online-only fashion retailers invites you to Soho House West Hollywood for an intimate preview of their covetable new threads, you accept. Yesterday we stopped by the exclusive venue's scenic sky penthouse to view ASOS' just-in "high summer" collection and take a peek at their upcoming fall/winter 2012 offerings. As expected, looks were lust-worthy as ever.

After begging them to finally open a standalone boutique and to open it in LA (it didn't work, but we'll keep trying), we perused the London-based e-tailer's expertly curated racks of seasonal wears. Highlights included bold bustiers, summer leathers, ladylike eyelet, sheer chiffon blouses, statement jewelry and zany printed dresses. Check out 16 sweet summer styles in our gallery and shop it all on ASOS when it hits their US e-boutique in the coming weeks.
