sneak peek

Sarkilahti took these photos of me wearing some of the pieces from the new Odette collection while I was in New York last week.  She'll be posting the real lookbook (starring Anne McClain) soon, but these snapshots are a little sneak peek.  The collection will be available to buy in just a few short weeks!  More awesome rings here.

Nothing delights me more than seeing beautiful girls in Wiksten.  Is it obvious that blue is my favorite color?  Pictured at the top is the talented Helen Rice of Fuzzco in the Ikat Cut Out Sleeve Top from s/s '10.  Her incredible home was photographed for Dwell Magazine, which you can see here.  And below are two of my favorite Jennifers, Sarkilahti and JPD, side by side in their Lissa Dresses.  I love how the dresses look paired with Odette and Ermie.

P.S. I did a fun interview about Wiksten with Kristen from Marginamia recently.  Read it here.

more patterns

I thought I wasn't going to make anymore, but I keep getting emails about them.  Today I've restocked the shop and will try to keep them in stock as best as I can.  As with all my handmade things, sometimes they just sell out and I can't get more made fast enough.  Thank you for your business and for your continued patience! 

surprise shop update

Hello!  Here I am.  I promised myself I wouldn't mess around on the internet (which ended up resulting in no blogging either) until I got caught up with all of my sewing, and now here I am.  Ok, I'm almost caught up.  One day away.  I have been sewing and sewing and sewing.  All summer long.  What a relief to finally have the end in sight.

Check my shop!  Last of the summer stuff.  Sarkilahti top in size M, Dealtry + Wiksten dress in size XS, and Arrow Scarves.  This stuff's not just for summer, peeps.  Cute with an oversized cardigan and tights/boots for fall too.  Also!  Tova and Tank patterns in very limited supply, back in stock for preorders.

I'm headed to New York in a couple of days, so stay tuned for adventures to come.
