From the designer:

These socks are inspired by the move Before I Go To Sleep, which stars Nicole Kidman and Colin Firth and was designed for Super Sock Scarefest 2017. In the movie, Kidman’s character awakes each morning with no memory of what has happened or who she is. There are notes everywhere to tell her things and she has a video diary. One of her memory aids has a comment of “Don’t Trust Ben.” And Ben is her husband.

The socks use a knit/purl pattern, in Morse Code, to write out “Don’t trust Ben.” The Morse Code key is included for those who wish to incorporate a different message.

 

Caelum Tunic by Whitney Hayward

This short sleeved, pocketed tunic can be worn solo as shown here, or over a long-sleeved tee. Caelum is breezy comfort at its best and works as a great transition to warmer weather.
