Words are awesome. Scarves are awesome. Together they become a beautiful accessory that warms the neck and stimulates the mind. Ready to get crafty? All you need to make your own is a simple scarf, fabric pens, and a favorite quote, lyric, or poem (excellent penmanship also comes in handy). Love this as a gift idea for a sister or best friend — just grab a (fake!) pashmina in her favorite color and a few lines from her favorite song. Check out the tutorial over at Stamp 48.

I’m slightly jealous of this video as I, the resident scarf expert at The Frisky, had planned to make my own scarf tutorial. Harumpf. I hate this girl and her scarf expertise, but I am mature enough to set my feelings aside. I would not begrudge you, stylish people of the world, the chance to wear scarves like a pro. But for the record, mine would have been funnier. [Fashionably Geek]

The Saddest Sad Etsy Boyfriend

Our friends over at Urlesque compiled a list of some of the saddest guys on Etsy. You know, the guys who were forced to don really stupid hats or clothing items for their wives’ or girlfriends’ Etsy stores. The worst offender? This guy, who is sporting a strange one-armed sweater contraption, and tights! Sorry, guy, you are probably a really nice boyfriend, but a really terrible model. [Regretsy] Keep reading »

Move Over Jeggings, Here Comes The Necklush

During the winter months, I’ll wear scarves non-stop: while working, out at night, in my apartment. For me, it’s more out of necessity to stay warm rather than a fashion accessory. But some scarf lovers even purchase lightweight options to wear during the summer. Stephano Diaz and Troy Mattison Hicks saw the attraction, and decided to cash in on the accessory love. The pair combined a scarf and a necklace to create yet another combination fashion item: the necklush. The designs range from $42-74 and come in a variety of different styles and colors for both men and women. Some options are more necklacy than scarfy, but each and every one could be the perfect update to any simple outfit. If you’re feeling this, that is. [Lucky] Keep reading »

Is This Half Snuggie Genius Or Fugs?

Designer Eryn Brinie is a fave of Rachel Zoe, Cameron Diaz and Jessica Alba—she’s got this vaguely Euro style going on with her clothes and focuses on basics. Well, I’m not sure if this is one basic or a combo of basics, but Eryn’s sleeve muffler scarf, with its multifunction personality, can be worn as a scarf, shawl or cardigan. It sort of looks like the travel-sized version of the Snuggie, but in a good way. I’m always finding that my arms are the body part that let me down; they get quite a bit colder than the rest of my body (must be that whole core versus extremity thing). But things change once I get inside whichever overheated place I’m headed. At that point, I don’t need the extra arm coverage anymore and I just want a scarf—which is my security blanket in the winter; I wear one every single day. (I don’t care if the pashmina is uncool. I still have a giant collection of them I use as scarves!) But, perhaps, my pashminas have seen their last days? This multi-use scarf/cardi solves all temperature problems. Is it fugly? I can’t tell. Would you wear it? I should say it costs a C-note, so it ain’t cheap. [Eryn Brinie] Keep reading »

This Winter It’s All About the Snood

When the winter chills and winds come around, I’ll do just about anything to stay warm. Ear muffs, turtleneck, piles of scarves — I’ve tried it all. This winter, I have a new look to try which is actually a vintage throw-back. Missoni and Burberry pulled out an old trend for their fall 2009 runway show, in the form of the snood. What’s a snood you ask? Mix a scarf and hood, and there you go. It looks a bit silly upon first glance, but once you realize the warmth factor and protection from the cold, you’ll be a convert as well. Besides, it’s kind of a chic look, no?

Want to try the trend but aren’t ready to shell out designer prices? Head to H&M where they’re selling the snood in three different colors — cream, light green, and gray — for a very reasonable price of $5.95, or um, just make your own using an old scarf. [British Vogue] Keep reading »
