Just like we love strapless dresses, tousled tresses and bare legs for the summer there are various reasons for loving the Fall season. One of those reasons is covering up! Picking the perfect scarf, wrap, blazer, or even bolero is the highlight of my Fall shopping. It’s so much fun I have to break these two topics up in to two different posts.

I love finishing off outfits with a wrap or shawl.  They’re a great way to add a color accent, cover your bare arms or add a little extra warmth during those cool spring evenings.
Some shawls are meant strictly for a dramatic accent!  These 100% silk shawls are based on designs from the 1930s, and finished off with hand embroidery.  To add even more of an impact, the shawls have a long fringe:

Or ivory silk and  pink roses if you prefer a softer look:

Chunky wool scarves, wraps and cowls have made their way down several catwalks – and judging from the amount of frost on my front lawn this morning – it’s perfect timing to bring them out!

Shawls, wraps and stoles are a great way to go from warm summery-feeling days to crisper, autumn nights.
You can wrap them around your shoulders, knot them around your neck or drape it across your arm if you’re a little too toasty.
My pick for a lovely shawl that will see you through the late summer all the way to next spring?  Pucci’s silk and lurex “Amelie“:

Do you need a break from the intense colors of summer?  Too much bold yellow and bright turquoise?  How about trying some summer whites?  Soft, elegant and very wearable when the mercury starts to climb…

Okay, so it’s technically almost summer (and feels like summer for lots of us but evenings can still be a little cool sometimes. I don’t always want to wear a jacket – so what’s a girl to do to keep her shoulders from getting chilly?

How about a silk stole from Banjaras?

Or this lovely embroidered vicose wrap from Blu & Blu.

This silk-blend jacquard stole from Etro is lined with velvet – definitely good for cool spring evenings!
