Following in the path of others, No6 is doing a small line for Urban under the name "6 by No 6". The only dress in the collection is this cute all silk number available in red or black at the bargain price of $79. I am hoping my local Urban has it in stock so I can try it on. There are a few other nice items in the collaboration as well:
An interesting (although a little weird) lace bodysuit and some cute cutout oxfords.
So I've been admiring the brand Wood Wood for a little while. I only recently learned it is from Denmark (of course). Totokaelo has been carrying it for several seasons and so has Creatures of Comfort. Like all Scandinavian brands, it is hard to rationalize spending the $$ on such simple pieces. For me, I love the clean lines and the natural fabrics of those from up north like Filippa K, Acne, Whyred, Samsoe+Samsoe, etc. Although I actually end up purchasing them on very rare occasions and almost always when I'm actually IN Scandinavia.
Back to Wood Wood, they are a little more quirky than the others, like VPL crossed with Rachel Comey and a little bit of Viktor and Rolf menswear thrown in. I have been drooling over their new sweater dresses on Totokaelo. And then while perusing Urban Outfitters, I saw that strangely they are carrying Wood Wood too! Apparently Urban has some sort of "around the world" sampling of world designers at much higher than their usual price points. It includes Wood Wood, Madras by APC, Stine Goya, Dagmar, among others. And interestingly, while their pictures aren't nearly as good as the ones at Totokaelo, the prices on Urban's site are a good bit lower. Strange, no? Well I am not arguing but it should be known that there is a deal to be had.
Here are the 3 I've had my eye on:
This is the Lis Dress, It is $165 at Urban (and $207 on Totokaelo).
This is the Annette Dress, $175 (vs $219). I love the extra long sleeves, and it should be noted this is a terry sweat material (not knit).
This is the Aimee Dress, $120 (vs $150)
I know these were supposed to be back last Spring but they never really caught on (except in LA where they never left to begin with). Urban Outfitters has this great Levi's jacket exclusive to them. and some really cute cut-off jean shorts, also from Levi's.

If you can believe it, these denim leggings are from Urban Outfitters and are only $39. I love how the waistband is like leggings but how they still have back pockets like jeans. And the price is so good, you can afford to buy more than one color. And there are quite a few to choose from. Take a look here.
