Fashion Scarf Trends: Neon Colors

In 2011 Fashion Trends, Fashion Scarves, Get the Look, Pashmina Scarves, Pashmina Shawls and Scarves, Summer Scarves, Women's Scarves on June 15, 2011 at 8:40 pm

Probably the hottest summer trend and our personal favorite, neon colors are taking over wardrobes everywhere. Whether we’re talking about neon dresses, neon nail polish or neon accessories, this trend is everywhere!

Celebrities like Kim Kardashian, Cheryl Cole and Jessica Alba, just to name a few, have made headlines with the fabulous neon colored dresses they have worn to the latest red carpet events.

While we love neon dresses, let’s face it, not everyone can pull them off. Head-to-toe neon orange or neon yellow, on its own or paired with other neon shades, is not easy to look good in. However, for lovers of the vibrant neon colors, the trend has extended to fashion accessories: jewelry and scarves.

We already did a fabulous feature for this season’s hottest neon jewelry trends so naturally, we’re going to focus on neon fashion scarves right now.

The best thing about neon fashion scarves is that not only they look amazing, but they’re also really easy to pull off by mostly anyone thanks to their versatility. Not to mention they can really bring any boring outfit to life.

Trending right now: neon pink, neon yellow, neon orange and bold combos of these colors.

Neon Pink Pashmina Shawl ($24.95)

Lemon Yellow Pashmina Shawl ($24.95)

Neon Orange Pashmina Shawl ($24.95)

Reversible Yellow and Neon Pink Shawl ($29.45)

There are tons of great summer looks you can create with neon colored scarves from wearing them as cute cover-ups at the beach, glam turbans or combine two of them into one fashion-forward scarf!

What do you think about neon colored scarves: Hot or Not?

The Reason Why We Love Scarves

In About Scarves, Fashion Scarves, Pashmina Scarves, Pashmina Shawls and Scarves, Summer Scarves, Women's Scarves on May 27, 2011 at 4:16 pm

Happy Friday everyone!

This started out as a great day for us here at La Purse headquarters as we came across a fantastic article entitled “Scarves Succeed as the Ultimate Fashion Multitaskers.”

Knowing how much we’ve been telling you all how scarves are the most versatile fashion accessory and how you ladies can wear them any way you’d like and pair them with everything else in your wardrobe made us feel like maybe we were being a bit too insistent. So we decided to take some time off from promoting the versatility of the scarves and focus on other fabulous fashion items. And so we did. But this morning we discovered this article in the New York Times and couldn’t resist sharing the news with you.

Needless to say, we agree 100% with the author. Scarves were, are and will forever be the most versatile fashion accessory. And that’s exactly why we love them.

Don’t belive us? Grab one of your scarves or a pashmina shawl and experiment a little.

Turn your scarf into:

1. A headband. And a series of other hair accessories like bows, for example.

2. A turban.

3. A waist belt.

4. A sarong.

5. A beach cover-up.

6. A cowl neck.

7.  Halters.

8. A Shrug

9. Even a sexy halter dress!

10. Nursing blanket.

11. Bridal shawl.

12. Evening shawl.

And much more!

Already feeling inspired? Go ahead, take an oversized scarf and start twisting, looping and knotting and re-create all the above and more.

Who knows, maybe you’ll come up with a new scarf trend!

Do you agree that scarves are the most versatile fashion accessories?

2. We have been so lucky to have met the lovely Jacin Fitzgerald via The Charity Wedding Giveaway hosted by another great lady, Alicia. Jacin was one of the winners of the giveaway and we got to send her one of our infinity scarves. Not only was she kind enough to send us pictures of  her wearing the scarf, but she also interviewed us for the Examiner!

We’ve talked about starting the business, future collections and many more interesting things. To read our interview with Jacin, entitled “Bridal Accessories: La Purse in San Francisco!” , click here.
