wren x clare vivier

i’ve long been a fan of both wren and clare vivier, so when i received a little peek at the new collaboration between the two, i just had to share! they designed this lovely french market-inspired tote using the ever-popular celestrial print from wren’s spring 2012 collection and vegetable-tanned leather for this classy reversible tote. bonus points for being locally made in los angeles using remnants from wren production! it’s like the grown-up version of the million and one canvas totes i have stockpiled in my apartment. in celestial print! the bag is available now at both wren and clare vivier.

wren summer 2012

it just so happens to be raining outside this morning, but that isn’t keeping me from planning out my summer outfits! they’ll all be lined up in my closet, ready for the warmer weather. one such collection that i could easily see making an appearance in my wardrobe is the wren summer 2012 collection.

“shot by jeana sohn of closet visit, this collection was inspired by travels to the southwest and a visit to frank lloyd wright’s taliesin west house. i was drawn to the colors and rich textures of the environment and wanted to translate these ideas into my designs.” -melissa coker, wren.

these easy pieces range from cool ikat prints to stunning solid pieces in bright orange, coral, white, and blue. and i love the very simple styling by giorgia tramontano with an old pair of tassle oxfords and cool shades.
