In the Snood
Here’s something we never thought we’d get excited about: the return of the snood. After appearances of this accessory at Burberry and Missoni, we’ve been dreaming of bundling up in one of these big circular scarves for winter. Our hearts and our wallets lucked out when we found this cozy layered version for less than $35. Now there’s a treat to warm you up on a chilly day.  - Laura Wasson

The Many Ways To Wrap Yourself

On Elle Girl a wonderful slide show on the different ways to wear a scarf :) enjoy!!!

SLIP KNOT

Easy as 1, 2, 3. First fold your scarf in half, then wrap around your neck and pull the loose ends through the looped end. Voila, the super chic no-fail approach to tying scarves.

BOW TIE
A feminine take on a typically boys-only look. Wrap around your neck and tie a bow (just like your shoelaces) at the front.

REVERSE WRAP-A-ROUND
Messy dressing never looked so chic. Start by wrapping your scarf around your neck and towards your back (tips should hang down your back), then pull each end over the opposite shoulder. Let the lengths do their thing—this isn't about symmetry.

THE STRAIGHT HANG

No instructions needed!

TWIST'N'TIE

Take a longer scarf and twist tightly until it coils into a Twizzler-like shape, then loop around your neck and knot.

DRAG THE FLOOR

Make a statement without saying a word with a super long scarf.

SHOULDER TIE

Tie it in a large knot at the nape of your neck

SIDE NOTE

Let one end hang and tuck the other out of sight.

LOOP-D-LOOP

There's no rhyme or reason to this style. Just weave your scarf in and out and around your neck for an "Oh this old thing?" look.

REVERSE KNOT

Start by wrapping your scarf around your neck — the ends should hang down your back — then pull each side over its opposite shoulder and tie a knot.

THE KERCHIEF

Fold a square scarf on the diagonal, then knot in the back for a cowgirl-meets-punk look.

Hair Bows...

So in an effort to clean out some of the pieces of fabric I have laying around I decided to make some cute small hair bows =) I will be making them into bobby pins and ponytail holders =) I am excited! Here is my first one:

hmmm... now that I think of it... I do have a lot of ribbon I can clear out as well... We'll see I might make some ribbon ones as well =)

A Couple of Ideas to Wear those Bobbies =)

Ok, so here are a couple of pics of how you can wear those adorable button bobbies.

This first one is a little poof in the front and 2 bobbies are used to secure it:

In the following 2 pictures the bobbies are used as decoration on some hair buns:


This 3rd picture is the most common way you can use them. You can criss-cross them (which is usually what I do) or even use different colors:

And, this very last picture is of one of the many fabric flowers I have been working on. What I did was used several layers of fabric to make it and finished it off with a fabric covered button. Keep your eyes open because I will soon be posting them on my Etsy (I just have to take a picture of all of them).

Busy Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I have been a busy bee!

Here are some pics on new designs/creations I have been working on. As you can see they are simple. I love simple =) I just think they are so much cuter simple and honestly sometimes the fabric is so beautiful that there is no way that I can cover it up.

I will be posting them on my Etsy lil by lil. I really wish listing was much faster and easier... like maybe do everything on one page and just scroll down?? I don't know, but something easier and faster woule be awesome. So here you can see a pile of ALL of the bobbies I have created and then I am posting some pics of some of them a lil more organized so you can get an idea of what I have been up to. Some of the designs include super cute fabric my friend Blueberryshoes traded me for bobbies =) However, there will only be a few of these so grab them while you can.

I am also super excited. I received a package from my friend Blueberryshoes today with lil sample fabrics which I totally love (thanks Blue! I will send you your sets when I am done creating them... oh and let me know if you want ribbon on them or something).

Ok, so till later visit my store. I have been very motivated to even update my blog lol
