Inspired by a dress and scarf that I always had trouble matching, I decided to put together a gorgeous wrap with hues of grey, black, silver sparkles, and blue. The results were wonderful and surprising… what do you think? What colour combinations have you tried that surprised you?
A beautiful, light, summer style!
I am loving this waterfall twist wrap that I recently did a tutorial on (see the tutorial here). It is so easy and elegant! And it’s easy to make it even more fancy by adding a thin scarf/sash to the wrap. Check it out!
(Please note that these photos were taken post 15 hour bus trip and pre makeup, which is why I look a little more tired than usual 😛 )

Congratulations to Eliana for winning our Judith de Paris giveaway! This was announced on Sunday on our facebook page. Make sure you “like” this page in order to receive these updates! This giveaway was so successful – 115 entries describing what the entrant is grateful for right now. I high recommend reading them if you need a lift and smile! Sooooo… what do you think, ladies? Should we do more Wrapunzel giveaways?
On Sunday I gave a talk and demonstration at a hair wrapping extravaganza in the Young Israel of Philadelphia. This was my first time speaking beyond the “hows” of covering and getting into the “whys”. The event was very well put together; I had an inspiring time, was smiling all the way home and look forward to doing many more events like this in the future! AND, I got to meet Judith of Judith de Paris in person!
If you’ve been following these posts, you have likely seen that I have a deep appreciation for Israeli tichels. This name is referring to the solid-coloured, thin cotton scarves that have lines of silver thread running through them. On the streets of Jerusalem, you can often find them in various small shops for under 10 shekels. I have used them as full hair coverings, scrunched up as volumizers, but mostly folded up as sashes. I find they add a perfect splash of contrast and sparkle to most other wraps. Here it is in black, used as a sash accent! (Click on photos to see in detail.)
I was wearing a grey skirt and mauve shirt… what scarf could possibly match? For some reason, I dug through my “give-away” pile of scarves, and uncovered this beauty, which matched my outfit perfectly! I think that I had it pegged to give away because it is a little dark for my skin tone… but still! It was almost *too* perfect in terms of matching, know what I mean? Anyway, I tied a simple long scarf bun with it and added a small pin; Does anyone want a tutorial on how to tie a bun with a long scarf?
I have shown you this wrap before using my sparkly gold scarf; Here it is using a brown one! It’s so easy, looks elegant and matches almost everything!
Lots of scarves, lots of layers, lots of volumes, lots of colour! This wrap is simply the wrap of lots! I’m loving it… what do you think?
I tried a very very layered wrap with two different pink scarves. Here is the result:
What do you think? Too much pink or just the right amount?
A viola student said to me, “Miss Andrea? You should wear red… like… dark red. You would look really pretty in dark red!”
Well, when 9 year old violists give me fashion advice, I listen! 🙂
Hello Everyone! Here is the tutorial showing how to do the new fancy tie that I just featured!
… and you can look forward to two more videos tutorials of requested ties that I made today! They will be posted this week!
A dear friend of mine gave me a stunning scarf as a gift; Upon receiving it, I had no idea how I was going to incorporate it into a hair wrap, because it was small and triangular, see-through, with fringe! Little did I know that it would allow me to create one of the most stunning wraps!
(This is the “new” wrap that I was speaking about before – on my tutorial list! It has a four tail braid with the fringe poking out.)
It’s amazing how the same wrap can look drastically different with different scarves. These are both scarves that I’ve showed you on this site before. The first one is yellow and made of a very thin cotton:
The second one is a thicker pashmina-like scarf, that had large vertical stripes and intricate texture. Vive le difference!
This is proof that you only need to master one wrap and then try it with different scarves to get a myriad of different styles! The wrap used for both of the above examples is a Regal Wrap.
Happy Wrapping Y’all! ❤
Hi Everyone, I apologize for my lack of daily posts! The reason was that the Jewish holiday of Shavuot came right in the middle of the week, and of course, since I don’t use technology on these days, taking photos of head wraps wasn’t possible. I did, however, create a new style that I’m very excited to share (and will hopefully take photos of this weekend)! For now, here is what I wore on my head for the eve going into the holiday. My husband gave me the cream/grey/black scarf as a holiday present, and I added the teal to match my skirt. The tie is a double twist. Since the scarf is multi-tonal, it looks like I’m wearing a lot more than two scarves (especially in the twist part)! Thank you to my lovely friend who snapped these photos 🙂
It’s super beautiful and hot outside today, so I am dressing accordingly!
I love this scarf. Mostly because my husband got it for me, but also because it is so versatile and makes it look like I am wearing more than one. And the colour. Of course the best thing is the colour. Keep an eye out for scarves with wide vertical stripes like this!
In these photos, I am wearing a basic regal wrap with a brooch added for a little extra sparkle.
