Wraps Are Hot, Hot, Hot!
Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008Scarves aren’t just for bundling up in winter anymore. They’re getting greedy and busting onto the summer scene, too! Scarves and wraps have hit fashion hard and they’re everywhere right now. I walked into American Eagle yesterday and found one on just about every mannequin. Maybe they were chilly.
Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m embracing the summer scarf, but I must admit that it feels a bit forced. Who in their right mind wants to put a scarf or wrap on in 95-degree weather? C’mon, seriously. I’m looking to the fall to really start rocking this trend hardcore. I’ll at least be able to viably justify it then.
As I mentioned, AE is pushing these scarves right now. They have them in almost every color. My favorites are the AE Windchill Scarf in Bright Mango/Pink Heart and the AE Crinkle Lurex Scarf in Grey. According to them, they “fall perfectly tied any way.” Both are sold for $19.50 online or in stores.
Another scarf that’s superfun is the Lulu Lurex Scarf in Coral Silver from Buckle. Like the other scarves highlighted, this one is light and flowy, perfect for early fall. Theirs is only $14.00 and can be found online or in stores as well.
Delia’s offers some more youthful scarves, with music note, floral, and star patterns. My favorite happens to be their Star Scarf in Blue Multi for $16.50. It’s more a fun, casual scarf, not so polished. This scarf says, “I’m going to the movies to see James McAvoy’s hot self in Wanted.” Mmm.
Perhaps, while sitting in the theater, waiting to watch Wanted, the guy next to you, equally excited for Angelina Jolie’s apprearance, strikes up a conversation. The conversation will most certainly lead to a date since you’re hot. For such an occasion, you may want to wear a scarf like the Crinkle Silk Scarf from Arden B. It looks like a silk bandana- tre chic! It may look more refined, but you get what you pay for. This scarf, offered in Pumpkin and Scuba Blue (my fav), will run you $68.00. The Arden B. scarf has embroidery and beading details, along with the fringe that the other scarves offer.
The contest winner for hottest scarf or wrap has to be Free People’s Patchwork Scarf. It takes style, confidence, and a love of pink to rock this wrap. For those with an aversion to pink, they have it in yellow, too. As per their description, it boasts “raw seamed edges, fringe trim, and beaded appliqué detail.” Oh, it’s fun. Unlike the others, this scarf is a perfect square, so you have to know how to wrap your wrap. For $58.00, this is my pick for the most bang for your buck. It packs a punch! Go to Texeresilk for every possible way to fold and mold your scarf to fit your style.
If you’re wondering where in tarnation you’re going to store all of these scarves, I have the solution for you. In college dorms, it’s a well-known fact that you have virtually no storage space. To store my massive collection of scarves, and I mean massive, I went out and purchased two Overdoor Cap Rack. I have toted them along with me to subsequent apartments and I have them stored on my closet door as we speak. It’s a perfect solution! If you want to try it out, you can head over to Organize.com and get a set of two for only $10.99 by Jokari.

Floral Trim Cami

During the summer, I like finding clothes pieces that are light and flowy. The Floral Trim Cami from Arden B is a simple summer top with some details that make it perfect for a night out. It’s a babydoll top with slight pleats along the bodice. The top and the straps are lined with a floral trim. You can pair this with some capris or a pair of jeans and some hanging earrings and you will have a great evening look for the warm weather.

Damn Deals: 75% Off Arden B.’s Clearance Event
Wednesday, January 16th, 2008We all love saving a little money and that is why we all go crazy over a great sale. However, a sale isn’t truly a sale unless the store is willing to give you more than 50% off! That kind of discount means business! Well, Arden B can commit to having a great clearance sale with their clearance event of items up to 75% (yes 75%) off! For all those non-math wizards, that is more than half, which is breathtaking in the shopping world. Now, this is what we call a sale. Choose from all kinds of shirt, dresses, accessories, outerwear, pants and much more. And this isn’t the type of sale that only offers you a few items to choose from, browse through racks and racks (or pages and pages, for those who will shop online) of endless items. Sales like these don’t happen too often, especially at such a classy and fashionable store as Arden B. Get the discount price, but with the upscale look, what more could you ask for in the shopping world? When there’s sales like these, it makes us wonder why we’d ever pay full price!

Animal Safari Print Halter Top
Thursday, August 2nd, 2007
A little animal print never hurt anyone. The Animal Safari Print Halter Top is not your typical animal print. It’s a yellow, white and brown halter that ties behind the neck and has a cinched seam at the bottom of the shirt so it blouses out and fits looser throughout the bodice. For some added sexiness, it has a deep v-neck with an empire seam and a peek-a-boo opening. You will roar with this shirt!
