Twinkle woven top for winter through summer

This white viscose top from Twinkle by Wenlan will be amazing for Spring and Summer. Imagine wearing it with dark skinny jeans and sandals or with a cute mini skirt and flats. The woven detailing is exquisite. It has a relaxed and flowy fit, so if you're going to start with one summer basic, this white shirt will do perfectly. Too cold to wear now? Nonsense. Where it with dark jeans, your wool peacoat and knee boots. Wear it now and then later!

Warm fuzzy sweaters - oh my

I've been thinking about my sweater display in the shop for some time now. I got this suggestion and decided I'd try it today. I definitely like it better than the old display (folded and piled in the jewelry nook). At least now each style can be seen without having to move another. I just have to remember to keep the drawers open. Without thinking, I want to close them due to my hider tendencies, but have to remind myself that these are meant to be seen. As a bonus, they're situated right under the jeans. Viola, instant outfits!

Wren DBC at Josef

It's been down right cold in the Bay Area these last several days. Are you looking for a coat that's functional and fashionable? This Wren Double Breasted Coat will do the trick. It has metallic strands of silver thread woven into the fabric for a little sparkle and flair. I had originally thought that it was a dressy coat until I saw it on a dear friend this afternoon. It looked fantastic with bootcut jeans and flats buttoned up. When worn like that, it resembled a peacoat. It's made in the USA from a blend of natural and man-made fibers for durability. The lining is 100% silk. Silk and cashmere are my secret weapons for warding off the cold, so wear the coat with a cashmere sweater and you'll be ready to face the chilly nights.

Ikea hacking at Josef

Happy Monday folks! I know it might have been a little bit of a struggle waking up this morning. Many of you are probably coming back to work after 2 weeks of vacation. While you were away we've been busy here at Josef. One completed project is the update to our ikea solsta pallbo footstool. It went from modern to cozy with the addition of the slipcover I sewed. However, the most important project was getting the store ready for our Winter Sale! Save up to 65% off fall/winter and holiday clothing from Wren, Paul & Joe Sister, Twinkle, Dorothy Lee, Yoana Baraschi and Grey Ant.
