cleaning out the closet

ginger13 lacey filigree earrings + eagle charm bracelet

with the return of the women's closet sale on sunday, it seems like a good time to see what's new with a few of the designers who will be featured at the event. birds have been spotted all around the design world for quite some time (here and here to name a few) and our little feathered friends happen to be a recurring theme in the spring collection from ginger 13.

ginger 13 will be clearing out inventory from past seasons which means accessorizing your new outfits can be done for as little as $5. roberta oaks will also be there to show off her embellished and screenprinted designs as will a number of other up and coming island designers.

oaks hawaii fall/winter 2006

woo hoo. there are a lot of cute designs to look forward to in the fall/winter collection for oaks hawaii. i'm all over the stripe patch tee (love the peace sign and the not quite half sleeves) and have started to wonder if it is possible to covet all the tops in the new collection?

mo hoodie

i am particularly fond of the mo hoodie which would hit a nice balance on cooler autumn days when it's a bit too warm for a long sleeve but your arms will freeze if they are too exposed. the detail on the cuff is simply lovely. and don't forget to take a peek at the latest fabulous boho deconstructed skirts that oaks is known for (and featured earlier this summer).
