IDUN'S REJUVENATION

A legend of protection,
The voice and touch of eternal youth,
Rejuvenating spirit and mind
Strong
Obscure
Remaining possessed by wisdom, understanding, generosity
Relishing in growing old
Discovering deep contentment
Finding a sense of self
Or growing into it
 
Pursuing life while breathing deeply
A body language of expressiveness
Introductions to yourself
Peeling false security
Unmasking
Listening
Resetting
Puzzling pieces back together
Or taking some away
 
Brooks, streams, and fountains
A dose of vitality
Pure
Unmoving
Ever-changing
Delightful
Discovery
Life’s celebration

DRESS 1: Rachel Comey, Klein Dress 

A sleeveless black crewneck dress with a fixed wrap skirt and caped back. This dress is the ultimate subtle yet distinctly cool little black dress. The caped back allows the wearer to tuck it in as much or as little as they desire. A flattering draped silhouette that hits at a midi-length with slit pockets at the hips. A forward thinking yet elegant dress, signature Rachel Comey. Cut from medium-weight 100% silk-like polyester. Made in New York City.

DRESS 2:  NOMIA, Dolman Sleeve Dress

Flared dolman sleeve dropped shoulder dress with an elegant feminine V-neck. The material is a structured double crepe fabric and incorporates two pockets at side seams and an invisible zipper down the center back. Another forward thinker, Yara Flinn founder and designer of NOMIA, creates works that are timeless yet with a consistently contemporary edge. Made in New York City.

WORN WITH: Mari Giudicelli, Helene Pump + Darner Socks

Each dress is paired with another reinvented classic: the black heel. Designed by Mari Giudicelli and constructed with the highest quality materials, they are made to last. A suede slingback heel with tonal stitching and 3-inch wooden heel, leather lining and leather soles. Handmade by a family-owned factory in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

The heel is then given an extra contemporary twist when paired with Darner socks. For a pop of color or pattern pair them with our new Stine Goya socks. 

These timeless designs with a modern edge are meant to refresh your wardrobe and not replace it. So many things have changed in the course of this year we at Idun are finding joy in the small moments. Simple pleasures like dressing up for a holiday dinner, not forgetting to celebrate life (with all its ups and downs).   

From Berit: I don't really have anything eloquent to say, it's a compilation of songs that have been hitting just right for me lately. I hope people can find some joy in it too. The work continues, stay true!

Listen here.

Never again will I take a hug for granted. Here’s hoping you’re holding your loved ones and beloved activities tight in this wild and weird time. For me, that’s my tiny circle of VIPs, puzzles, poetry and occasionally a wrinkle in time where I stare at a wall.
Poems in particular are expressive nuggets of emotion, of which we’re currently feeling many of them simultaneously. Here, a series of three poems I wrote at the beginning, beginning of the end and then the end of the end of a different turbulent time of my life. Perhaps you’ll relate. 
It’s hard to write poems in the middle.

Good thoughts,
Megan

All talk
So good, no good
Gimme half that pill
You're trouble, you say
But you can't stay away
Let's go to hell together
Wake the neighbor's baby first
Touch me there
Touch me everywhere
Because the rent is paid
And the gloves are off
So shh, no more talk.

11/26
You think I’m kidding about moving to Montana
To stare at the sky and
Try to forget that you never said sorry
I’m such my mother
Running out the door with my hair on fire
Moving around but rarely moving on
 
I chipped a tooth chewing too hard
On my misspoken words
But you don’t care and I can’t not
Let’s admit our love’s not enough
 
Pack our bags, split the bills
Tell everyone we tried
Just don’t think I’m kidding about moving to Montana

Lost or found
If love, so often, is lost, 
how come nobody ever finds it? 
You never stumble across it on a street, 
like a penny Lincoln side up. 
Maybe it's not lost. 
Maybe our verbiage is all wrong. 
Love could run away, I suppose, 
or
if it's a living thing, 
love could die. 
What if love’s like dogs
– you know, those scraggly country dogs still in tune with nature –
who limp away from home to die alone. 
Maybe your love, my love, our love
walked away on its own accord and
we didn't even notice until
we combed through the woods by the creek
and found it lying there lifeless. 
Things are lost out of carelessness,
a lack of attention.
Things die from neglect. 
So which was it?
