Naturally Speaking

Talla Clothing

When nature calls, you turn the other way. Wearing head-to-toe North Face and eating dry granola just gives you the heebie-jeebies.

Instead of running from the hills, get your outdoors fix in the form of cheery tops, dresses, and jackets by San Francisco designer Talla Wesely. Her pretty scarves caught our eye years ago, and now we’re scrambling to get our hands on her sophisticated summer pieces before they’re all gone.

Inspired by patterns found in the natural world, the colorful, hand-printed designs are the perfect combination of earthy and endearing. Each piece features Wesely’s original designs — organic forms (ginkgo leaves, vines, birds, butterflies) silhouetted over bold, punchy colors.

You might find that you have a new appreciation for the great outdoors.

In other words, it’ll suit you to a tee-tee.
