THE Simplest Long Scarf Wrap!

Ok – this one is for when you are pressed on time but still want to look awesome!  The wrap is almost the exact same as the “Royal Twist”, except… no twist!  This works with all kinds of long scarves… thick, thin, longer, shorter, silk, wool, textured, smooth, solid, or patterned.  This is my current go-to wrap, and can be done super fancy or casual, depending on the scarf you choose.  Enjoy and happy easy wrapping!


(Yep, half my earring came off in the middle of this video, though I didn’t figure it out at the time… no worries, it is fixed!)

Pashmina Tutorial :)

Ahh… the illustrious pashmina.  So soft, warm, and elegant.  Most ladies who live in climates that dip below 10 degrees Celsius own at least a few of these to keep cozy in the winter months.  Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could wrap them on our heads as well?

However, sometimes using pashminas as headscarves can leave us with residual feelings of itchiness, slippiness, manuverability complicatedness… and most of all… that dreaded BULKINESS.  Now, I for one admire those rare women that can pull off a wide and volumous pashmina wrap, but it takes a lot of guts and the right face shape.  So where does that leave the rest of us?

Have no fear, Wrapunzel is here with a pashmina video tutorial!

Bring On the Colour!

Brrrrr!  It’s cold outside where I’m living, so, armed with inspiration from today’s “Lady Wrap Star”, Elizabeth (see post here), I decided to don a bright square scarf, add another bright long scarf and finish it off with twists!  My awesome husband also took these photos, which resulted in much nicer shots than the ones I take of myself 🙂

I hope that everyone had a lovely weekend and is looking forward to a productive week filled with beautiful moments, surprises, achievements, special connections and of course, gorgeous head wraps!

Today’s Wrap

I’m feeling colourful today!

Yes, that’s a scrunchie that you see holding this silk scarf in place.  First time wearing a scrunchie since the age of… 8?  Well, with this scarf, I think it looks cute as a side “ponytail”!  What do you think?

Here is a view from the side:

Thursday night! (and FYI)

For those of you that have asked about how-to videos, there is a list of pages on the right sidebar which is all of my 2012 content from youtube and my previous site.  The same links are located in dropdown menus/submenus right beside the “home” button, above.  You’ll find tons of videos and photo tutorials, as well as thoughts, experiences and FAQs.  As well, hank you so much for all the new suggestions so far!  I’m really looking forward to making them happen so keep ’em coming!

Here is the scarf that I put on tonight!  (Please note, I will likely not be posting this many updates in the future… I’m just super excited about this new site!)  I was meeting some very important friends, one of whom is getting married this weekend – mazal tov! Here I am wearing a medium silk scarf (with the non-slip velvet headband underneath, of course), and a beautiful flower pin which was given to me by a friend.  My earrings are from the open marketplace in Jerusalem 🙂
