November 2009

Brisk air, apple cider, pumpkin patches…it all screams November. The only thing missing is a scarf. But not for long. Scarves are always fashionable and always fit, so they’re worth splurging on- a good scarf will last your lifetime and then some. If you’re not sure how to tie them, here’s a primer and feel free to email me for more options.

Ann Taylor

Drape ruffled scarves around your neck instead of tying them.

James Perse

If you’re all thumbs when it comes to scarves, an infinity scarf simplifies the whole notion.

Lucien Pellat Finet

A dose of irreverence becomes a splash of color on a scarf. It’s your very own inside joke.

You don’t have to be a comic hero or gothic heroine or slink around in a cloak of darkness to wear a cape. (Unless, of course, any of those appeal to you, in which case go for it.) They’re cozy, glamorous and one of the oldest clothing styles known to man. As the temperature drops, bundle up in a dramatic cape.

Spiegel

A wool cape can stand in as a suit jacket or an evening coat.

Auburn Wills

Rustic plaid lends a ‘country home’ air to a cape. Try it with jeans and boots.

Forever 21

Not sure if you’d wear a cape? Try a jacket with a capelet detail instead.
