Wrapunzel’s “Most Popular”: Everything you Ever Wanted To Know!

We often get emails with questions like, “What is the difference between a Shimmery and a Shiny-Licious?”  “What does the Lakeshore Bliss really feel like?” “What’s so special about your Israeli Tichels?”  And “What exactly is at 2 in 1 and how does it work?”

Enter tutorial maker extraordinaire Rachel to save the day!  Here she shows you all the tichels that have stood the test of time and are in the “Most Popular” category on wrapunzel.com!  With stories about how we found them and cute tidbits you don’t want to miss!

Perfect Performance Tichel

The concert series that I co-founded had its launch recital last night!  We had a gorgeous set up for the hall: the quartet facing each other and the audience all around us, so the back of my tichel got a lot more attention than usual!  You can bet that I spent some time on it!

Our colors were teal (of course!), silver, and black!

Here’s my tichel!  I used an old applique headband (note to self – try to find more of these for y’all!), my teal shimmery and a new teal shiny-liscious that I’m hoping to get for the store!  Oh, and yeah, one of our sponsors is a makeup artist and did my makeup for the show!  Amazing!  (And shameless plug – please let me know if you want to become a sponsor.  We are a non profit aka tax deductible educational organization!)

Here is a shot of me taken before going to soundcheck!

And here are some action shots!  LOVED playing in this setting… so so grateful that we were able to put this together, yet another dream come true! Can’t wait for round 2!

And now, after all that (phew!), time to rest my hands and cuddle up with hubby & baby and watch some Star Wars 🙂

#WrapunzeledInPurple !!

IMG_8642Hi world!  Here is my first entry for the #wrapunzeledinpurple week!  I love this tichel sooooo much!  It’s the pashmina from the truffleberry kit, an ombre sparkle 2 in 1, and a sequin headband.  Felt SO ‘me’!

IMG_8640

My outfit was simple; an old swishy sweat skirt that I got in Israel (perfect for rehearsals!), a purple top with a white shell underneath… and my highschool era fuzzy jean jacket!

Hope you’re all having as much fun being #wrapunzeledinpurple as I am!

Love, Andrea

 

Shabbat Shimmery Twisted Yumminess!

Here are two outfits that I wore this Shabbat and last Shabbat!  Can you tell that I’m feeling the Shimmeries and the twists lastely?

This Shabbat I was soooo excited to wear my Mulberry Shimmery with one of the new Empress Circlets… did my classic two shimmery wrap (tutorial here) and was good to go!  Happy!

Wrapunzeled in Silver! (Plus: Next week’s color revealed!)

Hi everybody! We had a great time this week #wrapunzeledinsilver! This was a challenging color, since lots of us don’t have solid silver-colored scarves, so we opened it up a bit: pewter, grey, scarves with silver detailing, or even just silver accessories. It was great to see all the creativity that went on as ladies figured out how to work silver into a wrap. Someone even did a spoof wrap using aluminum foil!!! Can you spot it in the collage?

New for this week, we’re going to roll our round-up post and next week’s color announcement into one! So after you peruse these lovely photos, you’ll find next week’s adventure (and hashtag) listed at the bottom of the post. To join in the fun, come on over to the Wrapunzel Fangroup and share your pictures there, or email them to us with “Color of the Week” as the subject line! We’ll be back on Friday with next week’s round-up – stay tuned!

Woohoo! Thanks everyone for your wonderful submissions!! And without further ado….. next week’s color is…. PURPLE!! Please join us on the Fangroup or share your pics via email, using the hashtag #wrapunzeledinpurple! Wrap in purple with us on Tuesday (or later in the week is fine, if you can’t make it by then) – solid purple is great, of course, but feel free to pair it with another color, or experiment with purple accessories! For your picture to make it into next week’s blog post, we will need to receive it by Thursday. Can’t wait to see what you create!

A Fancy Ruffled Waves Pouf!

This morning I had a photoshoot with my friend Khadijah for her book, so I got all decked out!  I recreated my previous Shabbat outfit and wanted to share with you how I did the whole ruffled waves pouf on the side!

Here is a not high quality photo… will post photos from the photoshoot later!

And here is the tutorial!

‘Magic’ Square Scarf Flower Tutorial!

Here’s how to do an awesome flower with a square scarf!

As you can see in the photos above, this technique can be used to cover your whole head with a scarf (1st pic) or to use as a fancy sash!  The last one shows how to put a pin in the flower to make it flatter 🙂  Enjoy!  Shabbat shalom, world!

Burgundy & Brown

Maybe it happened in a dream, but I seriously remember doing a post about burgundy and brown in a past post!  Didn’t I?

Well, since I can’t find it, I’ll just have to do it again!

Wrapunzel Burgundy Brown Tichel Andrea Grinberg

My family had a crazzzzy wacko day.  It started off with my phone refusing to work so I couldn’t do my scheduled calls/meetings, then became a day that we needed to take off our regular work schedules because my husband is in search of a better violin (if anyone has gone through this process you can imagine how much more time consuming it is; we were prepared for this, but not prepared for how much more time consuming it is when you’re no longer a student and have a baby), then lo and behold my husband’s phone decided to also go loco while in the suburbs of DC and we got majorly lost, only to get back on track, charge phone, go to the violin dealerships (Shalomy loved it!) and then have his phone fizz out again in the middle of an unfamiliar neighborhood in Baltimore.  We just got back home at 10pm with new phones thank Gd, both of us wondering at what Hashem was trying to teach us during this odd, obstacle-y, ironic, fun, and gratitude-filled day.

Anyway, my outfit today made me happy… love this color combo!  I also loved pairing some new accessories together; the plaid headband and the new flower pin looked great with the lakeshore bliss and the burgundy 2 in 1!  I had a super cozy sweater that I wore most of the day when it was cold, but my husband snapped these photos when the sun was out 🙂

Here are some photos of my tichel in a violin shop!  (You can’t see here, but Shalomy is crawling at my feet 😛 )

Hope you all had a great day!

Some Fun Fall Outfits!

Remember back in the day when I used to post my wrap/outfit more often?  I need to start doing that again!  Here are some outfits that I’ve worn over the last week!  My camera has been in for repair, so apologies for the sub standard photos!  All of these outfits have hints of black in them (yes I’m searching for a theme) 🙂

This is a jacket that I’ve had since I was 16… and I just found it at my in-law’s during our trip to Israel!  SO happy to be wearing it again!

And a pretty grey dress, white jean jacket with a tichel to match!

And here is my fave… I really enjoyed the jean jacket with the lace top! I’m off to teach some littlies in this photo. I LOVED this tichel!  It felt so ‘me’!!

Hope you enjoy!

Love, Andrea
