Navy and Mint!!

On By Andrea GrinbergIn Clothing Ideas & Inspiration13 Comments

Lately it hasn’t been very often that you’ll see me wearing one scarf… I’d forgotten how beautiful it can be!!  Yes, layers are incredible, but sometimes you just want one scarf to shine… and this Navy Shimmery certainly did that beautifully.  I added a necklace and that was it!  The wrap I did was a waterfall twist (with an extra little twist) and it stayed put all night long with no adjustment needed!  Since I was wearing a black shaper underneath, no other scarves were needed except the one!

The outfit I wore was another lucky Goodwill find!  I almost didn’t buy it because I thought it would be hard to match, but then remember I had a mint shell and a navy skirt that would work perfectly with it!  This was one of those fancy but super comfortable outfits that I know I’ll wear again!  I hope you enjoy it!

I hope you are all having an inspiring, healthy, cathartic, and grateful weekend!  Sending you much love and light!

Love, Andrea

Today today!

Hi everyone!!!!  Here’s what I’m wearing today.  Thanks for all the enthusiastic responses to yesterday’s post – I will definitely show you more outfit combinations now!  Hope you enjoy today’s tichel as well.  It has a lot of texture and patterns (even for me, lol) but the darker, subdued colours make it work!

And if anyone is wondering about the weird earring placement accident, I invite you to take a guess about why I have two holes in one ear and one in the other!  (Hint: has to do with playing the cello!)

Wrapunzel in the Kitchen!

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?

Warm & Connected

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!

Wrapunzel Tichel Andrea Grinberg

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?

The Tichel Makes the Outfit!

You know what’s so cool about hair wrapping?  An outfit that on its own would be mismatched looks incredibly coordinated when paired with the right head scarf!  Check it out!

Grey, purple, and sky blue? You wouldn't think it works, but with this tichel, it's the perfect combination!

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 🙂

It’s a new year (the Jewish year of 5774 just began), so what better time to start creating some new wraps!  You may have noticed in the last tutorial that I am experimenting with gathering the scarves at the side of my head instead of the back; this one today is no exception.  I started off doing two long twists dangling at either side of my head… but then my husband walked by, tried to hide his laugh, so I decided not to go out like that… it did look funny! (Maybe an idea for Purim?)  So I undid one twist, wrapped the remainder around my head (creating a really neat knot at the side of my head) and let the other twist hang.  It’s  interesting how twisting at the side of your head completely changes the shape of the wrap!  I am not sure that this one works so well for my face shape, but I am sure that it will work for others!  As soon as I master the side gathering thing, I will make a tutorial!

A Silk Wonder!

On By Andrea GrinbergIn Daily Scarf Creation1 Comment

This scarf, given to me by my mother-in-law, is one of my summer favourites.  It’s made of crushed silk, so it’s light and low maintenance.  The colour changes on the scarf make it look like I’m wearing more than one when really, it feels so light – like I’m barely wearing anything!  For this wrap, I am not wearing the volumizer… just my hair tied up high and the velvet headband with the scarf (it’s hot outside!)

The Non-Braided Braid

On By Andrea GrinbergIn Daily Scarf Creation2 Comments

My favourite colour combination!  When wrapping these two scarves, I was left with the brown ends being much longer than the blue/brown ones.  To help even them out, I held the blue/brown ones straight, and then criss-crossed the brown ones around it, making the ends even at the bottom!  To fasten, I just wound one of the brown ends around the bottom and tied.  The brown and gold antique pin tied the wrap together perfectly.  Enjoy!

Let’s get fancy

I am loving this multi-tonal, sparkly, sheer scarf that I recently found!  To achieve the braid at the back, I put on the white scarf first, then the black over, and then blue one on top.  All the scarves had one end short and one end long.  Once they were all tied back, I braided the longer ones and brought them over the bun, securing them with an elastic to the shorter ends.  Then I covered the elastic with a pretty flower pin!

Green & Blue

On By Andrea GrinbergIn Daily Scarf Creation5 Comments

Y’all encouraged my colour experiment with light green last week, so I am wearing the green scarf once more!  I contrasted it with my blue flowered scarf and wrapped it into a layered wrap, which was surprisingly easy to do, given how long I’ve gone without tying one of these!

So the conclusion is: for those of you that may have had trouble with the “Layered Look” wrap, just be persistent!  Once you get it, you won’t forget it!  (The one difference between this wrap and the one in the video is that I tucked the ends into themselves instead of underneath the wrap, and left one of the green ends hanging down.)
