In the recent L Magazine , Sharon Van Etten shared about her newest album, Tramp, and was photographed rocking Edge of Urge Earrings !

Check out Sharon’s website here.

Sick of studs? -the earrings, that is, not the boys.

Edge of Urge has brewed up another solution for the “feather earring-less” ear!  Sick the pearls, tiny bows, or quirky animal, and opt for the INDIANA BONES!

This hand-made earrings by the Edge of Urge crew mix some of our favorite metals and colors with our widely popular “Toomb Raider” add-on and makes this killer earring!

Limited edition, so when we sell out- they are gone!

XOXO,

Me.

Wearing some of Jessie Williams’ newest tights, Adrienne went to Carolina Farmin’.  Paired with Jeffrey Campbells and a Seneca Rising tunic- she looked like all the other girls doing their grocery shopping!

XOXO,

Me.

You’ve seen some of her work recently on our Asheville Inspired photo shoot and the How We Did It…EOU Style blog posts, so we decided to feature Melissa Kinnamon in this edition of “How Do You EOU?!”  If you’ve seen her around downtown, Melissa is almost always rocking some of Jessie’s Williams’ Feather Earrings, and definitely a piece of clothing- t-shirt, jeans, dresses or shoes, from the Edge of Urge.  So take a few minutes and learn a little more about Melissa Kinnamon!

How Do You EOU?!

What EOU item are you wearing? I‘m obsessed with my feather earrings- that’s all i take with me when I travel. Then i swap out feather colors to match my outfits! Also, Jeffrey Campbell shoes, they are the best thing since sliced bread!

Compliments remembered or responses from item?
“Oooohhh! i love your earrings!” “Girl! Those shoes are awesome!!”

What you’d like to see more of? (earring variations, colors, clothing trends, etc)
edge of urge really does a great job. I’m always on the lookout for something classy & stylish enough I can wear to work but can be versatile enough to go out in if need be.

If you had any super power, what would it be? To multiply myself to be able to accomplish things double time. and of course, teleportation…..airline tickets have become way too expensive.
What is one thing (concert, movie, event, book, album, etc) that you are looking forward to? The next x-men movie and Bonnaroo! Both are right around the corner. OOO! And my morning jacket’s new album.

Favorite Album/Artist: This is waaaaay too hard to narrow down, so, what I’m listening to most right now is Mumford & Sons and The Flaming Lips.

Favorite Movie: Hands down..Little Miss Sunshine

Who do you admire?  I truly admire my husband. He is the most unselfish person I know, and always ready to make people’s life easier even at the expense of himself. i love you babe!

Melissa, Thank you for your contribution to the blog!  We can always count on seeing you with gorgeous EOU feather earrings in amazing color combinations and looking amazing, fun, and flirty dresses and outfits from Edge of Urge!  Thank you!  Oh yea, be sure to check out Melissa’s (and coworker, Tim Marshburn’s) amazing hair and makeup styling for our Asheville inspired photoshoot!

Thanks again, Melissa!

XOXO,

Michael!

The recent blog post: EOU Goes…to Asheville inspired us to do another photoshoot!

Set at Satellite (120 Greenfield Street, Wilmington, NC), Adrienne and Schuylar are wearing some outfits that we find fitting, appropriate, stylish and HOT(!!) for a vacation to Asheville, NC.

These outfits would be perfect for early morning strolls and sightseeing.  Dressing in layers is key when visiting a place where you will do lots of walking and sight seeing throughout the day.  And when you are layer, you get to wear more awesome clothes at one time!

Adrienne is wearing:

Razor Skinny Jeans by Neuw  http://www.edgeofurge.com/boutique/clothing/womens/pants/razor_skinny_jeans.php

A simple razor back tank top by Groceries, and Oversized Dolman sleeved Sweater by Kara and Pali Wedges by Dolce Vita

http://www.edgeofurge.com/boutique/shoes/womens/wedges/pali_wedges.php

In her ears, a custom pair of Jessie Williams Feather Earrings- with a hint of color.

Bright colors at the top of her look (earrings) and bright colors at the bottom (shoes).

Schuylar is rocking Skinny Legged Jeans by Kr3w, an AMBSN Tank top and a grey jacket by Comune.  And yes, his shoes are gold, well yellow, and they are Herraras by Zuriick.

These looks are more geared towards an afternoon date.  Still very simple and easy clothes in great materials.  Schuylar’s look is casual with a twist and Adrienne looks effortless in a floral dress and shoes that are sure to catch some stares.

Adrienne:

Everest Platform Booties by Jeffrey Campbell

Schuylar: Comune Jeans, Alternative Apparel V-Neck, Kr3w cardigan, Zuriick Herraras.

THESE ARE MY FAVORITE LOOKS!  Perfect for a night out, find pieces that pop with sparkle or print (or both) so you stand out in the crowd!

Schuylar is wearing a Comune Tank under a burnout cardigan by Alternative Apparel with dark Comune Jeans.

Adrienne is wearing a Fringe Tank Top by Jessie Williams and BLANKNYC Jeans.  Her ring is by Low Luv and cluth by HOB Gear.  You can’t see them, but her feet look amazing in Sahara platforms by Senso.

All these looks are easy and “intentionally effortless”.  Take inspiration from these looks and make them your own!  These are just a few things that we love!  And here is one last picture…just because it’s smoking hot! Enjoy!

XOXO,

the Social Salamander
