Master List of Scarf Wearing

While browsing Pinterest, I came across a post which I immediately felt the need to share. Scarves can spice up any outfit and as long as you pay attention to the pattern, colors, and material, they can be worn all seasons. Scarves provide options and versatility for our wardrobe so why not expand on that versatility and mix up the way we wear them? The Scarf Knot Master List found on Scarves.net (or Scarves Dot Net) is a plethora of knots! There are tutorials to aid you in recreating the knots - some videos and some picture-by-picture.

In addition to scarf wearing, you can browse and shop for scarves by season, shape, trend, color, length, and material. Sounds like a site I will be returning to often!

"Give me a head with hair, long beautiful hair. Shining, gleaming, streaming, flaxen, waxen."

Hair. We all have it. Well, most of us have at least some of it on our heads. But I never really know what to do with mine. When I came across these two posts, one from TheBlush.com and the other from a Pinterest post, I had to share because I know there are others out there who feel like me. TheBlush.com is having a photo challenge where readers post pics of their own hair. Some are boring and others are amazingly intricate braids or beautiful up-dos. It is definitely worth browsing for some new ideas.

The Pinterest post led me to Amy from the music group Karim (They sing "Brokenhearted". Most likely, you know the song: "See I've been waiting all day, for you to call my baby, so let's get up, let's get on it, don't you leave me brokenhearted tonight".) Anyways, she has gorgeous hair and in the posted YouTube clip she shares how she curls her hair to give it a natural, full of body look. It is really pretty simple, I just never thought of doing it that way. This is perfect for us gals with straight hair.

Summer is the perfect time to play around with your long flowing tresses or short easy-to-deal with do. With weddings, showers, trips to the beach, picnics, and long days or nights outdoors, step outside your comfort zone and try something new!
