MAZAL TOV MY BROTHER GOT MARRIED YESTERDAY!! (Well, two days ago if you don’t go by the Jewish definition of day which starts at sundown.)
Yes, his wife is already lined up to be a Lady Wrap Star!
Here are some unofficial photos what I wore! Aqua is the bride’s favourite colour 🙂
Wearing a layered regal wrap with a twist and flower today! I am loving the flower in a deeper shade – what do you think?
A lovely weekend and shabbat shalom to all those that are celebrating!
Can anyone come up with a better name for this wrap?? I’m not a fan of the one I came up with above…
Here is the tutorial that you have all been waiting for! This particular wrap is a match makers dream! I know it’s sometimes hard to match tichels… but keep trying and don’t be afraid to incorporate something new into your wrap!
Sometimes I get so scarf happy that I forget that one scarf can look incredible on its own! Check out this forest green scarf, wrapped in a basic regal wrap and accessorized with a simple bow clip. Practical and beautiful!
Baltimore’s fall colours are UNREAL today! Seriously, I had to stop while walking because I was in shock – the sky, the clouds, the trees, the leaves… WOW!
So obviously the weather outside subliminally inspired my tichel choice! This wrap was done using two long scarves of the same length, braiding the ends into a 4-strand plait.
Have external elements ever influenced your tichel choices in a very obvious way? Tell us about it!
Hello lovely ladies! Here are two similar outfits that I have worn that I thought you’d like! It’s wonderful how wearing a scarf with multiple colours allows you to incorporate those colours into your outfit, and instead of clashing, they now match!
What do you think? How has covering your hair inspired what you wear?

So… you all know Rivka Malka Perlman, right?
If you haven’t heard of her, run (don’t walk!) to her website right now. This woman is one of my greatest inspirations, and I am proud to say, now also a close friend.
ANYWAY – she recently gave me a stunning teal wrap skirt, and I had been itching to wear it, so I decided to save it for a special occasion. Last Shabbat seemed like the perfect opportunity.
But then the weather was FREEZING! Much too cold to wear such a fluttery skirt. I thought the skirt may have to stay in my closet and wait until the spring.
But Shabbat is a time of miracles, so I had an idea and did what any proud head scarf wrapper would do; I turned it into a tichel!
And it subsequently became one of the most beautiful tichels I have ever tied!
I know. And all this was done without damaging the skirt – so it can be worn both ways.
Maybe Rivka Malka and I should start marketing skirts as tichels! Who wants a tutorial??
I have been experimenting lately with combining many textures and colours with lots of layers and twists. It’s the kind of fun that I highly recommend trying out!
Here it is in magenta, navy and tan:
And in candy colours and stripes:
And in pastel salmon, blue and white!
I am loving this look, and find that it really stays put all day (of course, you have to be wearing the proper equipment underneath). What do you think of it?
I often get asked, “Do you ever get bored? Do you ever run out of new ways to tie your scarves?” The answer is, gratefully, “nope!” Even if I owned 10 scarves (believe me, I have quite a few more than that!), there would still be an infinite amount of tying options.
So here is a new style that I came up with yesterday! It is surprisingly easy. Who wants a tutorial?
And here is another variation on the criss-cross that I have tried, with only one scarf:
It’s a beautiful day outside, so I asked my husband to snap some outdoor shots of my tichel! Not bad for his first time with my super fancy camera, eh?
Here are some beautiful contrasting colours for you to enjoy!
A very generous reader all the way across the ocean thought of me while shopping, and sent me this stunning beaded band in the mail! It’s such a perfect hair wrapping accessory; I decided to wear it for the holiday of Sukkot paired with a green, flowered scarf. Thank you!!!
(Yep, these photos were snapped pre makeup and earring almost falling out – there was so much cooking and running around to do before the beginning of the holiday!)
The dress I wore was a gift from my husband! It is one of those “covers all” dresses that I don’t need to wear anything else over in order to be comfortably modest. It’s from the vintage section of etsy (very affordable!) and is perfect for the nippy weather!
Sheer, jewel-toned knitted cotton, and patterned, dark green silk. What a beautiful combination!
But times have changed! Here is the dark yet warm yet neutral outfit that I paired with the wrap! (Excuse my “Zoolander” face – I haven’t figured out the timer on my camera yet!)
This past weekend, the Jewish people celebrated Yom Kippur. There is so much to say about this holiday (it’s my favourite – wrote about that here) but in terms of hair covering, many people choose to wear all white. I found that wearing all white with a white tichel is a challenge – it’s easy to enter bathrobe and towel zone! Here is what I came up with!
The wrap consisted of two scarves and one lace sash (thank you hubby!) They were layered and twisted over my head (for the second day of the holiday I did two twists – I liked that more!) and tied in the back:
I found beautiful light and sparkly earrings to match, as well as a big gold flower to hold the wrap together. (This was the only colour in the whole ensemble.)
The white clothes were a beautiful cotton dress, with a white shell and ruffled white skirt underneath.
And of course, white shoes!
For those of you that celebrated, I hope that you had a cleansing, cathartic, and connected day. Much love to ALL of my readers. You are such an inspiration!
It’s always a challenge to find hair wraps and clothing that allow me to live life with freedom of movement, while remaining dignified and elegant. Believe me ladies, I know how hard it is!
Here is my latest helmet-friendly cycling wrap (aka no volume at back):
And the outfit that went with it! (Bicycling, office, cello, and home friendly!)
For those of you celebrating, I wish you an elevating, clarifying, connected, inspirational, cathartic, and all around incredible Yom Kippur. Kol tuv!
