Celebrities We’d Love To See Wearing Our Scarves

In Fashion Scarves, Pashmina Scarves, Pashmina Shawls and Scarves, Summer Scarves, Women's Scarves on July 15, 2011 at 6:55 pm

One of our guilty pleasures is keeping an eye on what celebrities wear, especially the scarves they wear. After years of observing celebrity scarf styles, we feel like we have a good grasp of the scarf style some celebrities love.

Here’s a list with the celebrities we’d love to see wearing La Purse scarves and the scarf we’d pick out for each of them.

1. Jessica Alba

We’re 100% sure that Alba owns an impressive pashmina and fashion scarves collection. The actress is rarely spotted without a scarf on her neck and for this reason she’s number one on our wish list.

The scarf we’d pick out for for her: the Vibrant Red & Pink Stripped Lycra Viscose Scarf. Alba would rock this scarf, especially if she would pair it with a cute maxi dress and gladiator sandals.

2. Nicole Scherzinger

The former Pussycat Doll loves wearing animal print so naturally we would suggest the Blue Double Layered Animal Print Silk Scarf for her.

3. Kim Kardashian

The Keeping Up With The Kardashian starts is another celebrity with a passion for fashion scarves. We got to see Kim wearing some fabulous scarves over the years and we’re sure she would look amazing if she wore Double Layered Light Colors Print Silk Scarf. The scarf would go perfectly with her skin tone and let’s not forget her passion for nude colors and feminine fabrics.

4. Jennifer Aniston

Remember the famous light pink pashmina the actress wore a year ago? Well, we’d spice things up a little and suggest she’d wear the vibrant Neon Pink Pashmina Shawl.

5. Sarah Jessica Parker

If there’s one celebrity we’d love to see wearing our bold satin ruffle scarves, that’s SJP. She would look incredible with the Ruffle Scarf Teal Blue!

6. Hilary Duff

We’d love to see Hilary wearing our Grey Holes Scarf .

Other celebrities that are constantly wearing fabulous scarves are Selena Gomez, Victoria Beckham, and Nicole Richie.

We had fun scarf-styling all these celebs for this post and we’d love to know your thoughts:

Which celebrities would you style with our scarves?

How To Shop For The Perfect Scarf For You

In 2011 Fashion Trends, About Scarves, Fashion Scarves, Pashmina Scarves, Pashmina Shawls and Scarves, Summer Scarves, Women's Scarves on July 6, 2011 at 3:57 pm

Women’s scarves can easily turn an otherwise lifeless outfit into a fashion-forward look without having to spend a ton of money on pricey accessories or anything like that. It’s easy to put on a beautiful scarf and come up with a breathtaking look!

However, shopping for the perfect scarf that suits you in every way: style, color, and fabric, has to be done a certain way. You should know that a scarf can make your look but it can also break it. Meaning that if you buy a scarf just because it is trendy; without paying attention to any other details, chances are you’ll end up ruining your look.

Scarves are usually worn very close to your face so you must check to see if the color is flattering your skin tone and if the style suits your personality. The most important is that you feel comfortable with your newly purchased scarf.

Here’s a set of useful tips to keep in mind when shopping for fashion scarves:

1. Go For The Basics

You can’t  go wrong with a stylish basic scarf, such as cashmere pashmina shawls, in a solid color like black and white or neutrals such as beige, walnut or ivory cream.

These pashminas are timeless pieces that will get you from winter to spring and look well with pretty much anything else in your closet. Sure, they are a safe choice, but better be safe than sorry.

2. Shop For Fashion Scarves To Update Your Collection

If you are a scarf collector, chances are you’re always searching for the latest fashion scarves. As you’re shopping for new scarves to add to your collection, here are some important things to keep in mind:

- Don’t over do it with colors. If you plan to wear a colored outfit, don’t pair it with a multi-colored scarf because it’s just too much. Opt either for a multi-colored scarf to go with a simple outfit, or choose a scarf that features only one of the colors of your outfit.

- Shop for a neon colored scarf to add that much needed pop of color to your look!

- Do a little bit of research before you hit the stores and find out which designs are trending right now and choose the ones that suit you best.

3. Fabrics To Shop For: cashmere, cotton, silk, wool, mohair or viscose. Opt for fabrics that not only look good, but also feel good. Remember, you’ll be wearing the scarf close to your skin.

4. Shop For Colors That Complement Your Skin Tone

5. Expensive scarves aren’t always the best ones, so search for affordable high quality. There are plenty online stores that offer a wide range of quality fashion scarves at great prices.

Happy scarf shopping!

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?
