I figured it out!!!!!!!

On By Andrea GrinbergIn Daily Scarf Creation35 Comments

Those of you that have been following my sari scarf saga (which started before this blog and even andreagrinberg.com were even in existence) will understand how OVER THE MOON I am about this sari scarf discovery!  Last Shabbat, my hands did something miraculous when tying my sari scarf – they figured out how to cover my entire head with the sari scarf (it’s normally not wide enough to do this!)  And then I did it again and again!  Look!andrea grinberg wrapunzel sari scarf

I know!  Can you believe it’s actually possible?  I almost couldn’t believe my eyes and am SO happy!!  Anyway, after doing this the first time, I proceeded to wrap this style on every woman I encountered thereafter who was interested in wearing a sari scarf!  (There were many workshops last weekend – check out the Wrapunzel store page for pics!)  So now I have to ask; WHO WANTS A TUTORIAL?

Hope you’re all enjoying this beautiful (and brisk where I live) evening!  Love love love!!!

First Try with Pearls!

On By Andrea GrinbergIn Daily Scarf Creation23 Comments

This wrap inspired by a dear friend (you know who you are!) who has been wrapping for only a few short months and has quickly become a wrapping superstar!  (I’d love to feature her as a Lady Wrap Star!  Soon, hopefully!)  Her signature look is adding beautiful pearls to an already gorgeous wrap, and I’ve been searching for a nice pearl headband to try it with!  Finally found one!Gold green pearls wrapunzel andrea grinberg

I started off with a green pashmina, then added my favourite gold shimmery scarf (will I ever get tired of this tichel? I hope not!) – then topped it off with the beautiful pearls and green pin.  What do you think?

Sending love to you all!!
Andrea

 

You’ve seen this scarf before… but I’m obsessed!!

On By Andrea GrinbergIn Daily Scarf Creation17 Comments

Hi ladies!!  Check out this new way to wrap your sari scarf!  It’s a normal tie, just with the lines on an angle… and then the pin is placed at the top of the head instead of the side like I’m used to!  Yay happy experiments!  What do you think?

And do y’all think it’s about time I got myself another sari scarf?  😛

Hope you’re all having a beautiful day!
Love, Andrea

Wedding Wear! Mazal Tov!!

I went to a beautiful wedding yesterday; the daughter of an incredible family we are close with got married!  It truly was an occasion.  Of course I made sure to take some photos of outfit and tichel inspiration!  First I want to show you this dress that I got from eshakti.com… a lady on the Wrapunzel facebook page recommended it and I was very impressed!  (Nope, I’m not getting anything from them for making this post – just want to share the awesomeness!)  A lot of their dresses can be customized to all kinds of modesty standards, and they really value their individual customers – a truly special website!  I’m going to share this post with them to encourage more dresses that a customizable for different tzniut (modesty) standards, so everyone please leave a comment on this post telling them that this would be a good idea!!

Here is the dress!  (With the % discount they had featured and $25 first timers discount it came out to a whooping $30 with all the customization!)

And here is the inspirational Rivka Malka!  We are loving this dress she has… she got it in Israel.  We really want to just make it in every single colour… maybe in the future this dream will come true!  Both of our outfits were just made to move in, and if any of you have ever been to an orthodox Jewish wedding you’ll know that crazy dancing is essential!  We always make sure that our outfits and tichels can withstand lots of this!

And of course, some close ups of our tichels!  I’m wearing two “THE Shimmery” scarves – the gold one that you’ll all recognize from my collection that I’ve had for years, and a new navy one – they all WILL be available on the new store site!!  You can imagine how ecstatic I was when we found them for you!  And Rivka Malka is rocking the leopard print with a sparkly headband and sash!  Awesome!

What do you wear to weddings?  We want to hear from you!   And please also leave a comment here telling eshakti.com that we would love more modest dresses from them!

Love, Andrea

Post Shabbat Tichel Snap!

On By Andrea GrinbergIn Daily Scarf Creation5 Comments

I’m wearing my favourite sari scarf again… I just can’t get enough of it!  Also super excited about this new sash (yes it’ll be available in the store) that just takes everything up a notch without any effort.  Notice how different the sari scarf looks when I’m wearing a thicker scarf underneath – more volume at the sides and back!  (Try comparing to this post.)  

Also notice the sparkly brown scarf underneath… another one of my all time favourites!

Shavua tov everyone!!!  Looking forward to a beautiful week!  ❤

Oooo New Trick!!

On By Andrea GrinbergIn Daily Scarf Creation10 Comments

It’s always so exciting when you learn a new trick!  Someone posted this awesome rosette trick on facebook recently and I just had to try it!  This is my first time… so need to try it with other materials but am excited to make a tutorial sometime soon!   It’s done from a simple square scarf, and can also be used as a sash!  Neat!

Wrapunzel in the Kitchen!

On By Andrea GrinbergIn Clothing Ideas & Inspiration, Daily Scarf Creation8 Comments

My husband snapped this photo as I did dishes at the end of a busy, magical day.  I was very happy with this outfit choice!  (Earlier in the day I was wearing a shorter light blue skirt, but switched to the grey later for cello playing!)

The tichel I wore was a happy experiment!  I am really enjoying using pins to create interesting drapes and poufs with the ends of scarves.  This one was no exception!

Hope you are all doing well!  Are there any new looks or ties that you’ve been experimenting with?

Fancy Wraps!

On By Andrea GrinbergIn Daily Scarf Creation15 Comments

Here are two fancier wraps that I’ve been experimenting with, both with the same pin!  The first is using a sari scarf and a very thin Israeli tichel underneath!

The second was using a green silky scarf and some black, sparkly sashes that I simply love!  It was a new discovery to see how the pin secured everything together!

Warm & Connected

On By Andrea GrinbergIn Daily Scarf Creation15 Comments

There is something just so… warm about this wrap!  The soft fabric just works and something about it feels so natural!  I can’t put my finger on it, but I know this is one of my new favourites that will be worn again and again!

Have you ever had that happen to you?  Have you ever created a wrap that is just so *you* and you can’t quite figure out why?

Gorgeous New Scarf Trick!

On By Andrea GrinbergIn Daily Scarf Creation, Tutorials!21 Comments

My sis-in-law Naomi (remember her as a Lady Wrap Star?) posted this super cool wrapping style she created yesterday, and I just HAD to try it!  I wanted an simple around-the-house-doing-work style for today, and this one is as easy as she makes it sound… and guess what – I’m not wearing a shaper/volumizer!  Just a scrunchy!
IMG_6784

Here are her instructions on how to do it!
Take one long, lightweight rectangle. Tie at the nape of the neck (ends hanging at equal length. Tie a series of 4 single loose knots with the ends. Wrap up and over the bun. Takes two minutes, looks so complicated!!
Just make sure you use a really long scarf so that even after the knots you still have long enough ends to go all the way over the bun and tuck in.  For a shorter scarf maybe 3 knots would be better 🙂

Thanks Naomi for the inspiration!!  Here is a shot of her wearing it (with a longer scarf so therefore tighter knots and a shaper/volumizer underneath.)  See how tiny little “details” change the whole look?  Imagine with a sparkly scarf – it could even be formal wear!

An Update!

On By Andrea GrinbergIn Daily Scarf Creation, Updates14 Comments

You may have noticed my daily Wrapunzel posts haven’t been so daily lately!  Between much travel (all for simchas, thankfully!) and setting up The Wrapunzel Store (which will be opening Gd willing in 1 1/2 weeks – ahhhh!), I have been tad overwhelmed.   I also had to get a new computer and lost access to my photos, but that’s another story!  Rest assured, as soon as this preparation phase is over, I will be back and posting as much ever.  There will be a very exciting Lady Wrap Star featured tomorrow and I am receiving even more zig zag criss cross photos from different ladies!!

Right now I would love to share with you a photograph from our photo shoot yesterday!  It was super cold outside but with this gorgeous tichel I was smiling brightly!wrapunzel andrea grinberg store

Love you all SO very much!  Thank you for all your support in this new venture.  This is ALL for you!!!

Bold Patterns!

On By Andrea GrinbergIn Clothing Ideas & Inspiration, Daily Scarf Creation13 Comments

Here is some outfit inspiration for all of you!  Who says you can’t wear patterns in our outfit and on your head at the same time?  This skirt is VERY bold for my normal wardrobe, and I usually just wear it with a black top and simple wrap.  Never realized it could look so good with more colour added!

This wrap is a basic twist wrap – check out the tutorial!  Have you tried this wrap yet?

Signature Colours!

On By Andrea GrinbergIn Daily Scarf Creation15 Comments

So in case y’all haven’t heard yet, a Wrapunzel Store will be opening soon!  Your demands have been heard – yay!  For now, the blog and the store are being kept separate (most of you requested this) but since Rivka Malka‘s and my life right now is revolving around setting this baby up, many of my wraps are done using our new scarves!

Tichels are generally a hit and miss … and since we will only sell what we wear ourselves, (and for a price we would pay – this one is a toughie!) searching for perfect scarves has been quite an adventure!  Recently one particular scarf arrived which made us gasp in shock and excitement because the colours were simply EPIC!  I wore it yesterday and couldn’t wait to post it!

It’s a one scarf wonder!  What do you think?

We also just sent one of these out to the lucky winner of our recent giveaway.  I can’t wait to see what she does with it!

Side view of colour epic-ness!

It’s like, all of my favourite colours at once!  And this wrap was so easy to put together (did it without a mirror in much haste!)  Enjoy!

One Scarf Many Ways Part 2!

On By Andrea GrinbergIn Clothing Ideas & Inspiration, Daily Scarf Creation15 Comments

You loved seeing one scarf tied in multiple ways in the last post… so here is another!  This green silk scarf was a gift from a woman who makes them (I posted about it in one of my first Wrapunzel posts) and it often makes an appearance on my head!  This day was full of bike riding so I had to take my tichel off and tie it again a few times… here goes!

The first tie of the day!

The outfit that went with it (sorry for the fuzziness - haven't figured out my camera for these kinds of shots!)

The next tie was an experiment… I have seen gorgeous ties with lots of detail at the top and wanted to try it!  This one was beautiful and I got a lot of compliments, but I personally feel like it didn’t suit my personality and face shape.  Hope that someone else is inspired by it!

And last but not least, I needed to tie something on my head quickly when I got home at night… here is a simple wrap using this stunning silk scarf:

ahhhhh simplicity!

One Scarf – Three Ways!

On By Andrea GrinbergIn Daily Scarf Creation, Wrapping Photos3 Comments

I am so happy with this scarf!  It’s light, colourful, and can be worn in so many ways!  Depending on how you fold it before wrapping, it creates a myriad of layers.  During my recent trip to my brother’s wedding (!) I didn’t pack enough scarves to wear during the week (I had tons of scarves from the new Wrapunzel Store, but not for myself… go figure).  However, I did pack this one and made sure to wear it with different wrapping techniques.  Here they are!

Way #1 – Regal Wrap with Hanging Tail and teal colour at the front:

Way #2 – All tucked in Regal Wrap and navy colour at the front with a turquoise sash added for fun! (and husband 😛 )

Way #3 – Simple Elegance with pink pattern at the front and flower pin!

And yes, this is one of the scarves we will be selling!  Now tell us, what are some new scarf discoveries you have made lately?
