Shabbat Kodesh

On By Andrea GrinbergIn Uncategorized8 Comments

I rarely wear pastels… but Shabbat always inspires me to wear light colors to help get in touch with my elevated self.  I truly felt like a queen in this ensemble.  We had an super special group of people at our table on Friday night… who weren’t afraid to be intense and deep – very inspirational!

I’m wearing a sky blue 2 in 1, and a white shiny-licious, with a vintage beauty headband 🙂

Wishing you all a wonderful week ahead!  This is the hardest week on the Jewish calendar, but it holds the potential for a type of connection that we cannot experience during the rest of the year.  May we all use this difficult time to grow closer to our creator and ourselves.

Love, Andrea

My New Favourite Wrap!

On By Andrea GrinbergIn Daily Scarf Creation27 Comments

I came up with this awesome wrap right before Shabbat and loved it so much that I wore it the next day.  It’s a perfect princess-y wrap that is great for the summer weather.  And you don’t need any volume at the back to do it!  I love how it’s casual and fancy at the same time… definitely a go-to for me!  It’s a pretty easy wrap to do, but let me know if you want a tutorial!  I love how the first scarf hangs down the back, peeking through the Lovely Lace!

This was Friday night!

And this was Shabbat day (Saturday)!

Here’s how:

Ooooo just so perfect for summer!  Love it!  Let me know what you think!

The DT – Double Twist!

On By Andrea GrinbergIn Daily Scarf Creation9 Comments

Check out this new ‘twist’ on The DB (double braid!)  It’s so easy and loved how the colors blended together with the twisting technique!  And for those that don’t braid on Shabbat, this is a great solution!

I wore this to a family reunion so these are a few cropped photos of how it looked on me!  Wearing three 2 in 1s in turquoise, brown, and teal 🙂

What colors do you think YOU will try this with?  Can’t wait to see your gorgeous blended combos!

Being Silly!

Good morning to you all!  Thought I’d switch it up and post a goofy photo of my tichel today.  I’m wearing my Watercolor Dream (seriously, am I ever gonna get tired of this tichel?) wrapped up in a Yael ‘do.  I love how you can really see the wrap with this scarf… definitely gonna do this again!

Some Fun Outfits!

Before Shabbat came in, my husband said, “I love your outfit!  Don’t move!”  And then he snapped this picture.  I loved how the Watercolor Dream looked with the light teal Shimmery… and the lace shirt and lace skirt.  I felt so myself in this!

Loving these colors!
Loving these colors!

And on Sunday, I was inspired by another Wrapunzel lady to wear my signature skirt as a dress!  So much fun!

Naomi Rose’s “Twist” on the Yael!

On By Andrea GrinbergIn Tutorials!3 Comments

Naomi Rose has created an awesome twist on the “Yael” wrap!  In it, she uses two scarves instead of one, which highlights the angles and twist more than if you’re using just once scarf.  LOVE IT!!!

Zahava’s Gold Chignon

Zahava's Gold Chignon Wrapunzel

Zahava is one of the women that makes the Wrapunzel Fangroup so wonderful.  Her gentle smile, inspiring stories, beautiful style, and encouraging words are something that many of us look forward to every day.  We even named the Empress Circlet after her!  A few weeks ago she posted a new style; “Tichel Chignon” she called it.  Many of us tried to figure out how she did it and couldn’t get it!  So I just had to invite her over to make a tutorial together.  We got to spend a little time getting to know each other as well.  Beyond her quiet demeanor, Zahava is a proud mother of 11 children, and grandmother of over 20 (and counting, Gd willing!)  She just returned from a trip to Israel that her kids surprised her and her husband with for their anniversary.  Let’s all bask in her infectious glow, and learn how to tie the “Zahava’s Gold Chignon” together.
