How do I love my velvet headband…

… let me count the ways!

I got this super silky scarf, and my [almost] sister in law expressed her concern for how it would slip off easily!  Enter the velvet headband!  With it, I can wear the slipperiest scarves for hours and hours, and I don’t even need to check on it!

As well… check out this scarf!  It’s much less colourful than my usual, but is elegant and looks beautiful without a complicated tie or volumizer.

Wrap du Jour!

Here is today’s wrap.  I felt like I was doing something quick and simple when I wrapped it in the morning, but every time I looked at it I was impressed with how well it matched my outfit (I had on a turquoise skirt).  Just goes to show you that a patterned shirt can bring together clashing scarves!  Hmm… maybe this is a key to world peace!

Casual Scarf Made Formal

This scarf is one of the first tichels that I purchased.  I love its versatility, but had never worn it in a formal setting.  I decided to try it out!  Who knew that with a little extra height and a sparkly pin, this scarf could be just as fancy as the rest of ’em!  The elastic in the scarf kept everything put for the whole night, and the pin held everything together with a little extra security.  I will definitely be trying this one again!

New Sari Scarf!

If you have been following this blog for a while, you may already know about my love for the “sari scarf” that I own.  For those of you that don’t, a sari scarf is a scarf made of recycled sari strips.  It’s beautiful, and with one easy knot makes it look like you are wearing a myriad of scarves on your head.  I wear mine whenever I need to pull off something fast and formal… so when I found another one in thrift store ($3!) of different colours from the one I already own, I decided to get it.  Here it is!

And here is the tutorial on how to do this wrap!

Once New, Now Classic

This wrap was so “new” to me a month ago… now it’s one of my most used styles!  I wore it for the whole day today and it took me from a formal occasion to heavy lifting to nannying to grocery shopping… and all the way back home!  This picture was snapped when I walked in the door, so you can see that it hasn’t budged since the morning (thank you velvet headband!)  Yes, I know it looks complicated, but the four tail braid is super easy once you get the knack of it 🙂

Extra Oomph Waterfall Twist (and updates!)

I am loving this waterfall twist wrap that I recently did a tutorial on (see the tutorial here).  It is so easy and elegant!  And it’s easy to make it even more fancy by adding a thin scarf/sash to the wrap.  Check it out!

(Please note that these photos were taken post 15 hour bus trip and pre makeup, which is why I look a little more tired than usual 😛 )

Congratulations to Eliana for winning our Judith de Paris giveaway!  This was announced on Sunday on our facebook page.  Make sure you “like” this page in order to receive these updates!  This giveaway was so successful – 115 entries describing what the entrant is grateful for right now.  I high recommend reading them if you need a lift and smile!  Sooooo… what do you think, ladies?  Should we do more Wrapunzel giveaways?

On Sunday I gave a talk and demonstration at a hair wrapping extravaganza in the Young Israel of Philadelphia.  This was my first time speaking beyond the “hows” of covering and getting into the “whys”.  The event was very well put together; I had an inspiring time, was smiling all the way home and look forward to doing many more events like this in the future!  AND, I got to meet Judith of Judith de Paris in person!

Same Wrap with Different Scarves!

It’s amazing how the same wrap can look drastically different with different scarves.  These are both scarves that I’ve showed you on this site before.  The first one is yellow and made of a very thin cotton:

The second one is a thicker pashmina-like scarf, that had large vertical stripes and intricate texture.  Vive le difference!

This is proof that you only need to master one wrap and then try it with different scarves to get a myriad of different styles!  The wrap used for both of the above examples is a Regal Wrap.

Happy Wrapping Y’all! ❤

Shavuot Night Tie

Hi Everyone, I apologize for my lack of daily posts!  The reason was that the Jewish holiday of Shavuot came right in the middle of the week, and of course, since I don’t use technology on these days, taking photos of head wraps wasn’t possible.  I did, however, create a new style that I’m very excited to share (and will hopefully take photos of this weekend)!  For now, here is what I wore on my head for the eve going into the holiday.  My husband gave me the cream/grey/black scarf as a holiday present, and I added the teal to match my skirt.  The tie is a double twist.  Since the scarf is multi-tonal, it looks like I’m wearing a lot more than two scarves (especially in the twist part)!  Thank you to my lovely friend who snapped these photos 🙂
