Nest Picks - What Sally's Gifting
Leave it to Oiselle's chief bird and lead designer, Sally, to pick the best of the best! Woman is always on point. Read on for what she loves most about her gift picks this season. (Shop Sally's Gift Picks)
Rundies
Who doesn't want to open a pack of underwear and tell grandma what "fartlek" means?! Rundies are, quite simply, the best OG undergarment we have...from our minds and behinds to yours!
Flyte Long Sleeve
It's the original #flystyle. The top that launched a thousand birds. You can't go wrong with the softness, the weight, the ease of the fit - without the sausage casing feel of other seamless. We're not gonna lie, we haven't changed this style much in four years because it's a proven winner. Gift it or keep it, either way!
Aero Tights
We love x 100 the pin tuck lines of this style. That, plus the high waisted top that, at first, we weren't 100% sure we'd love. But one by one, each of us has bought and worn the Aero - and it's our top style for the season. The detail at the ankle is also a favorite... with the small contrast zipper plus the shaping at the hem. Oh so sexy ankle.
Quilted Bomber Jacket
This is simply the coolest jacket that goes with everything, has that athletic vibe but is 100% street ready. The soft-shell body is incredibly wind and water resistant (it's borrowed from the snowboard industry) but the inside is a soft layer of pink fleece. It's tough chick meets outdoor maven. And super flattering across so many body types as it falls above the hips and layers over anything.
Wazzie Wool Track Pants
"Suddenly, I spied them. I saw a pair of black wool pants with nobody inside them! I wasn’t scared. But, yet, I stopped. What could those pants be there for? What could a pair of pants at night be standing in the air for?" We know pants can - but shouldn't be - scary. These numbers are fearless. They dress up, they dress down. They're made from the same wazzie you know in our base layers... ease + softness + just enough spandex for great fit. Like love for your legs!
Wallace Jacket
The design team goes crazy for details and this jacket has them ALL. 5 pockets (4 of them zip!), detachable hood, easy fit with waist cinch, easy stuff-pouch, and a great wind and water resistant fabric. It's an ideal Seattle style... keeping gray skies at bay. We also equally love both colors. The dew body + satellite trims is so pretty, but the all gray and silver is gorgeous too. Can't go wrong.
*Note: No she's not wearing Wazzie Wool...even though she might want to be.
Wazzie Wool Funnel Neck
What would Audrey Hepburn wear? The Wazzie Wool Funnel Neck. For Breakfast at Tiffany's and brunch at Portage Bay. Maybe even with that sexy cigarette holder, 'cause she knows wool is anti-stink. The cut serves her taste for pure simplicity, with yummy long seeves and thumb holes, an easy but not tight fit, and a light clutch of a high collar. No pearls required.
New Katron Jacket
Why look like every other Tom, Dick and Henrietta wearing a corporate North Face puffer when you can sport the hottest, high tech, seven pocket, detachable hood, adjustable fit, street and run-ready jacket available on the market today? If style isn't enough, the technical deets wrap it up: ultra wind/water resistant, reflective, hydrophobic PrimaLoft Gold fill for lightweight warmth and packable goodness.
