chic & chunky wool scarves

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!
I love supporting indie designers, and Etsy is full of fantastic, trendy designs - check out this hand-knitted wool cowl by […]

one of a kind accessories from Hoakan/Helga

I was just recently introduced to the design company of Hoakan/Helga and their unique collection of jewelry, bags & scarves.
They specialize in one-of-a kind designs, with vintage, re-purposed and hand-dyed accessories, like this “Long Scarf“:

It’s 100% silk, dyed with natural dyes and then rusted - too cool!
The “Eva” bag is made from vintage leather, hand-printed […]

Wear your love of letters on your… neck?

I think the laser-cut microsuede scarf from Little Factory is just too cool!

It’s made entirely of letters - they also make a “numbers” version, or if you want to be really emphatic - all upper-case letters :-)
(Thanks to Boing Boing)

new scarves from Anthropologie

I’m loving this new crocheted scarf from Anthropologie!

fall previews

Ah, the joys of the fall/winter collection… especially when it’s sweltering hot outside :-)   Even though it’s more like bathing suit weather, it’s still fun to check out the yummieness that’s in store when September hits!

This cute knitted cap is from Vivenne Westwood.

Classic, elegant & perfect with a pair of toasty-warm corduroy pants & a […]

cute cover-ups for spring evenings

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 […]
