closet building blocks | funnel neck sweaters

generally dislike sweaters. they are bulky, baggy and when created badly make you like a crocheted potato. it's always refreshing to find one with some element of design interest. enter the funnel neck sweater. love a great sweater with an oversized funnel neck. and it has 3/4 length sleeves to balance out the volume on top. it's casual done correctly. loving this cute eggplant? royal purple? (take your pick) sweater by bratislava. comes in ash white, navy, and black as well.

blog travels | gift ideas

the "2 or 3 things i know" blogger recently had a post about how she can't look at spinning tops without thinking she's in a dream after watching the movie inception. wouldn't these tops be a great present under the tree if they were paired with a dvd of the movie?

vintage travels | record players

me + a vintage record player? i think it’s meant to be. while shooting the winter line over the weekend, we decided to stick with the onyx feather wanderlust vibe by incorporating vintage suitcases and emily’s   record player, which i instantly fell in love with (sign #1). this morning, while catching up on flygirls blog, of course i stumbled upon her urban’s vintage turntables  entry (sign #2). my dad has an abundance of records from the 70’s & 80’s, hanging out in the basement, waiting to be passed along to me (sign #3). yes. me + the vintage record player are most definitely meant to be. --Jessica W.

great expectations | sneak peak into the new line....

survived the onyx feather winter shoot and the private trunk show this weekend because woodson, day-quil, and decongestant tablets were the wind beneath my wings. (almost wrote "wings beneath my wings". blame it on the day-d-day-d-daytime sudafed?) can't wait to unveil the entire line. for now here is some guerrilla behind-the-scenes footage woodson shot with her iphone of a swarovski crystal and vintage chain necklace from the new collection. more sneak peaks on our twitter page!
got some great things coming up on the blog in the next two weeks including a necklace give-a-way........
stay tuned!
