This outfit was so gorgeous and functional!! When you put two colours together on your head, the outfit combinations are endless! Featured here are olive green and light navy!
(Wearing an olive and navy 2 in 1 plus the lovely peacock pin my sis in law gifted me!)
Wishing you all a splendid week! Can’t wait to hear how you’re doing!
At the beginning of this week, we celebrated the tremendous gift of being able to free ourselves from everything that binds us, and plant the seeds for a beautiful 49 days of growth and nurturing of the soul. For our second year, my husband and I hosted Pesach seder, and though it was our first one without family, we felt as though everyone we love was with us. 13 people from every kind of different background, a beautiful table, probing questions, going on a wild journey that lasted until the early morning hours. A miracle.
My husband bought me a gorgeous lace top (it’s traditional for husbands to buy their wives gifts before the holiday) which I wore with a silk skirt and matching tichel. I loved the outfit so much that I insisted on running outside before candle lighting to take pictures for you!
My tichel was my lovely teal 2in1 with a teal Shimmery, paired with a piece of lace and enhanced with a pearl headband! Earrings are also a gift from my husband. You can’t really see in the photo, but the twist on the side is both scarves together:
Hope you are all having a fabulous week! Sending you lots of love!!

Today is such a gift! We hosted a vibrant, bustling in-person Wrapunzel event this morning at Rivka Malka’s house – it was so much fun bonding with all these beautiful women and teaching them how to wrap! We also have a very rare, pre Pesach sale at the Wrapunzel Store happening only today (yes, right now!)… it is our first time doing something like this so we were uper duper excited! It has been so much fun watching so many creative orders come in and maintaining the site as the day goes on! I also had a very intense chamber music coaching this morning as well as a rehearsal later… and tonight is our dress rehearsal for a big concert next week! Whew! All in all, this has been a wonderful day so far! And I had to make sure when I got ready early in the morning that I wore something that could take me through the whole day! Here it is!
My tichel is a lovely warm combination of turquoise, white and brown… yum!
My outfit had to be nice enough to do a tichel show, comfortable enough to clean the house for pesach, practical enough to walk through some muddy bits to get to rehearsal, with a wide enough skirt to play the cello! I’m so happy with the results!
And of course, the clothes are meaningless unless they reveal your inner essence, which I really feel like these clothes do today. I am so thankful today to know each and every one of you! Wishing you a gorgeous, productive, and meaningful week!
Love, Andrea
Oh wow! Has it ever happened to you that you get a scarf and you just know that it will NEVER be folded up and put away nicely because it will become your new “most-worn”? Well, something magical happened when I found this scarf, and I just knew! It’s so soft and glorious! These end of the day photos simply don’t do it justice, but I tried! The teal and orange… yum! I think it’s my new favourite colour combination!
(Worn with a dark teal shirt, neutral sweater, and patterned turquoise/green skirt.)
(And yes – I have a feeling you’re gonna love it as much as I do so we’re working on getting it for the store!)
What colour combinations are you loving lately???
Here are two fancier wraps that I’ve been experimenting with, both with the same pin! The first is using a sari scarf and a very thin Israeli tichel underneath!
The second was using a green silky scarf and some black, sparkly sashes that I simply love! It was a new discovery to see how the pin secured everything together!
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 🙂
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??
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 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!)
A beautiful, light, summer style!
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.
I really wanted to wear my mustard yellow cardigan and couldn’t figure out a head covering to match! So then I figured, why match? Therefore I paired it with a teal/black/blue scarf and wore it with a teal shell and black skirt. And of course my beautiful tichel tiara. Awesome!
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!
Oh teal, my favourite colour. So beautiful. This time, I paired it with a warm brown:
My favourite colour is turquoise/teal tones, so today I was definitely wrapped in my colour of choice!
This wrap was done in a hurry, and is a haphazard version of the layered volumous regal wrap style, except I only used two long scarves. Even though the look is sloppy, I got many smiles and compliments throughout the day!
