Scarves for All Seasons

December 4, 2014

Since we had so much fun yesterday thinking about our "official" or self-determined seasonal palettes, I thought I'd pursue the idea a bit more today. While I've been quite lucky to have been told by trained color evaluations that I'm wearing the right colors, I can easily sympathize with those who get conflicting advice, or who like other colors. Ultimately, I really believe that the happiness that you radiate from wearing colors that you love will overshadow any possible lack of compatibility between you and the garment.

Jewelry for All Seasons, and a Giveaway from Novica!

But lower-priced jewelry exists, and can be an extremely good thing to search out, for a number of reasons.

If you're test-driving a new style or type of jewelry, and it doesn't make sense to spend a fortune on something that you're not sure you'll love. If you're buying jewelry to wear with just one specific garment or outfit, and you know that you aren't going to want to keep the piece forever, or, if you're going ... View the Post

Hermes Knotting Cards – Today’s Monday Morning Giveaway!

Leave me a message telling us all about your very favorite winter holiday food indulgence (remember, this ranges all the way from Thanksgiving through Valentine's Day - my definition of winter holiday is VERY generous...) to be entered to win these knotting cards! I'll let you know next Monday who the luck winner is. Don't need knotting cards? These would be an excellent candidate for "regifting", you know.

Still sealed, so I can't honestly tell you what the cards will be like, but I know that they can be a source of inspiration for a new way to tie your scarves (not just for Hermes, of course!), or they can be a source of laughter when they suggest wearing a scarf ... View the Post
