I hope all of you had a very Merry Christmas. My clan sure did. I just wanted to share with you all, my bestest gift this year.

It is always good to laugh and to be able to laugh along with family is even better. This year my daughter, husband and brother-in-law got together and made this video for me. If you haven’t seen one of my videos, you might want to do that first here…it will make this one even funnier.

#1 Fashion Accessory: Scarves!

Posted by Luanne | Posted in Tips & Trends, Tuesday's Tips & Trends | Posted on 16-12-2008

If this is a surprise to you, you really do need to get out more! This summer, I know…summer, there was a craze for scarves. This winter it continues on and off the runway.

The Loop scarf style
This one is so easy and results in a sleek and casual look. Take any scarf and fold it in half to create the longest line possible. Wrap the scarf around your neck with the loop on one side and two ends on the other. Now, take the two loose ends and “thread the needle” so to speak. Put the ends through the loop created when you folded the scarf in half. You can wear this look in front or over to the side.

 

The Muffler scarf style
This is the hottest look going. Fold a large scarf into a triangle and place it over your décolleté like a bib. Tie it loosely in back and bring the ends around to the front. You can let the ends hang loose or tie them loosely under the bib or over the bib. Turn it a bit to the side and off you go.

The Tie scarf style
An oblong scarf works really well with this one but a square scarf can also work. Simply drape the scarf around your neck with the two ends hanging down in front. Don’t worry about them being even; remember the look is casual, tossed on. Now take one end and tie a loose knot. Take the other end and slip through the knot similar to a men’s tie. This knot can easily be adjusted to lie higher or lower.

You don’t really have to tie it, or knot it, or loop it. Just throw it around your neck and go.

Try it, you’ll like it. Don’t try too hard though, have fun with it. Keep it casual too. This trend is not meant to be a stuffy look. Send me your pictures and tips for this years #1 accessory!

Kisses!

 

OK, It’s me again, but I have to tell you that I have been whining for a week because I lost the scarf that my Mom made me. My FAWESOME husband just found it!!! I am soooo  happy. I heart him. I heart him. I heart him!

I just did all the cool knots. Love it!! If you know anyone who crochets or knits, ask for one for Christmas. Make sure it is long….they must be very long.
