If you have been following our blog, then you will already know that this season I am completely and madly in love with scarves. Some day I hope to be a rich woman so I can buy a scarf for everyday like Jessica Alba does. LOVE her! It seems that in all of her celebrity shots (other than red carpet) her outfit is completed by some amazing ‘pièce de resistance’ tied around her neck!

A scarf for all seasons:
When you mention a scarf what first comes to mind is a warm, wooly necessity for the wicked wind of winter. Not anymore! There are so many fantastic fabric options; there is a perfect scarf for anytime of the year. During the summer, lightweight jersey and cotton scarves are great for cooler mornings and even colder air conditioned spaces. They take up so little room and are such a tremendous life saver. Moving into cooler weather, options abound! Scarves range from traditional wool gifts from grandma, to pashminas, to fashionable finishes, to elegant ensembles!


Scarves for your outerwear:
Select something that works well with your coat. You need not worry about what outfit you are wearing underneath as you will remove your scarf when you arrive at your destination.
Pick a COLOUR. Your scarf is the closest thing to your face. A pop of colour can be as effective as an extra few hours of sleep. Beige may be safe but it makes everyone look like they have the flu!

Scarves indoors:
This is the fun part! Typically a scarf you wear inside will be less bulky/ large and a lighter weight than your outdoor scarf. After all, it is not designed to help protect you from the elements. Rather, this piece should compliment your outfit. It can be that finishing touch that pulls your look together!

With so many fantastic options available, now is the perfect time to fall in love. Not sure where to start? Come visit us this Saturday October 2 from 12 – 5. We will have Ali the stylist on location to help you pick from scarves of all shapes and sizes. We’ll get the perfect one for you!
