Silk Road

Hey there lovebugs,
As spring tries to inch it's way into our lives, we can start to put away the wool and start to test out the silk. Today, I'm talking about scarves. I just love a silk scarf for workwear because it adds something much more than a necklace ever could. Let's take a look at some not full-blown-spring but rather appropriate in between silk scarves.

C Wonder, Diagonal Stripe Scarf, $68

The versatility of this pattern really makes the price worth it. You can use this around you neck, tied to your purse, in your hair or popping out of a blazer breast pocket.

Nordstrom, Lauren Ralph Lauren Infinity Silk Scarf, $45

A beautiful pop of chevron for right now is just perfect in any color. This comes in pink, blue, orange and black.

Banana Republic, Lana Dot Scarf, $49

How about this for a neutral? So chic.

Fossil, Cindy Signature Scarf, $39

How about the vintage quality and pattern of this scarf, it would go beautifully with so many colors.

I love a great silk scarf for work because it's a fabulous way to dress up a plain oxford or a tired cable knit.

Be fabulous today!

Color me Vibrant

Everyone has their own color taste- some people like pastels, some prefer neutrals, and some just love saturated and vibrant colors. Today we're going to look at some vibrant scarves that are a perfect addition to your spring collection.

Ralph Lauren, Patricia Paisley Square Scarf, $78

How perfect are these colors together? The pops of light blue really make it.

 Kohl's, Paintbrush Square Scarf, $28

A little drama on this scarf. This would even work tied to your work tote as a pop of color.

Nordstrom, Juicy Couture A Place in the Sun Scarf, $68

Other than the fact that this model looks so sad to be here, the scarf is beautiful. 

Ralph Lauren, Silk Floral Large Square Scarf, $78

This sophisticated glamour is just beautiful. A great addition to a bright white button down shirt.

Scarves are such great, versatile pieces because you can tie them 684 different ways, you can tie it to your purse, or use it as a headband. The possibilities are endless!

Scarves can keep your man warm when you’re not around. Consider this versatile collection for holiday gift-giving.

Forzieri, Paisley Print Wool and Silk Reversible Men's Scarf, $98.00

Silk scarves aren’t just for the theatre or the opera. They not only add an element of je ne sais quoi, but they’re surprisingly warm. Treat your man to one!

This is a great scarf for almost all occasions. It comes in two colors, and both go with everything!

L.L.Bean, Irish Cashmere Scarf, Tartan, $59.50

Every man needs a casual plaid scarf. The small tartan plaid isn’t overpowering, plus it’s cashmere!

Wrapped up in Warmth

Scarves are tough.  When you think about gift giving for a stranger or acquaintance what do you think? Scarf.  And as well you should; they're functional, warm, cozy, and usually reasonably priced.  But what about the scarf you pick out for yourself? That's right.  You time.

For me, a scarf is a very important accessory.  I don't like to collect scarves, I limit my closet to maybe 3 not including pashmenas.  So, it's tough to make the scarf cut in my house. When I find one I love, I wear it pretty much everyday.  Especially right now when it's colder than the North Pole with a leaking freezer.

LL Bean, lambswool scarf, $19.99

Ok bear with me, its not sequined, sparkley or bright colored but its warm, chic in a suburban class kind of way, its lambswool, AND its $19.99.

Ann Taylor, Knit endless metallic scarf, $34

This beauty is just cozy-tastic.  I'm not much for the "infinity" scarf craze but this one does it with class

Target, Muk Luks Nordic Long Scarf, $29.99

I just love these colors and for some reason I picture Jill GG wearing it with her Ugg clogs!

Nordstrom, Michael Kors Rugby Scarf, $78

I love chocolate anything, I love this sporty take on the scarf and the hardware is just beautiful.  And apparently it has pockets? Not sure where but I never say no to pockets!

Gap, Fair Isle pocket scarf, $29.50

If this doesn't say December I don't know what does!
