I think that Isaac Mizrahi’s giant flower corsages and Sarah Jessica Parker’s flowers from Sex and the City have seeped into my brain…
I was browsing through Etsy this morning, looking for our Weekend Etsy Pick when this gem caught my eye.  Don’t get me wrong – it’s a lot of look, but I love the playfulness and sheer exuberance:

The symbol of the Evil Eye is popular in Greek culture because it is said to ward off the evil spells that are cast by an envious glance.  Otrera founder Elle Sakellis was inspired by the symbol of the Evil Eye from her frequent travels to visit family in Mykonos and had the idea of bringing this traditional and meaningful symbol into high fashion.  She created a bold pattern in many vibrant colors that featured the iconic Evil Eye and used the fabric to create beautiful silk chiffon scarves.

The idea of the snood as a fashionable piece that can be worn as a hood or scarf has inspired many designers to push the versatility of winter headgear.  We no longer have to decide whether we need to wear a scarf or a hat.  Now we can choose one beautiful accessory that we can use in multiple different ways.
After writing about the snood last week, I have been obsessed with finding other designers who are exploring this idea.  Susanne Guldager is a Danish designer who creates beautiful conceptual pieces with a dark and funky vibe.  Her designs are daring …read more

As the keffiyeh scarf trend is on its way out, a new scarf trend is on its way in. Giant, circular scarves are a major must have for fall and winter, especially in chunky knits and dark colors. There’s a slew of high priced designer options out there, but I love this one by indie designer Yokoo. Check it:
I love the intellectual geek chic way that the scarf is styled in this photo, but it would also look great with a tight black dress and tall boots. The yarn is 80% acrylic and 20% wool, so it’s soft and warm, …read more

I must admit that I am obsessed with being organized.  Everything I own has its special little place and after I use it I promptly return it so everything is nice and clean and easy to find.
I have tried every accessories organization technique available because dealing with lots of little pieces can quickly become a nightmare.  I have accumulated a lot of jewelry over the years, ranging from $1 costume jewelry pieces to priceless family jewels and somehow I can never find the exact piece that I’m looking for when I’m rushing out the door.  I have hats and scarves …read more

Fall is coming up sooner than you think and the best way to transition some of the lighter weight summer clothing options into fall is by the use of scarves.
