Are you looking for some new ways to style your hair? Well then head scarves are for you. There are so many different ways to wear a head scarf. You can go for a funky, fun look or try something more elegant. Either way, a head scarf is bound to make you and your hair look good. Are you down with head scarves, but not quite sure how to wear them? Well, don’t worry. We had the lovely Terryl model five ways to wear a head scarf:
You can wear your scarf as a simple headband. To mimic this look, just fold the scarf until you have the desired width you want for your headband. It will be easier if your hair is up when you do this. Then put it where you want it to lie on your head, wrap it around and tie securely underneath. This would look great both with you hair pulled up or with it down as Terryl’s is. This hairstyle used the Summer Breeze Scarf .
This style is done using the Kendra Striped Scarf. Terryl simply wrapped the scarf around her head leaving a thick strip in front and tied it on the side letting the scarf hang down with her hair.
For this style, fold your scarf into a triangle. Wrap it around your head as you would a bandana and tie in the back over your hair. It might be easy if you have someone hold the top of your scarf in place while you tie it tightly in the back, as it easily slips down. This picture features the Amy Nautical Square Scarf.
This style is another one that will be easier to achieve with your hair up while tying, and then you can take it down once its tied. It looks really complicated, but it’s not. Start with the middle of the scarf in the back of your head under your hair. Take it around to the top of your head, cross the two sides and tie on bottom. It creates a really cool look and no one will know how you did it. This style used the Sally Crinkle Scarf.
This style, the rosette, is done using the Shannon Polka Dot Scarf. To achieve this look, wrap the scarf around your head until the two different sides meet. Then, twist the ends together until long and taunt. Next, slowly bring the twist toward your head and allow it to coil as you do so. Tuck, the loose end into the coil and voila!
Though those are only five ways to wear a head scarf, the possibilities are countless. Just get creative with your scarf and let us know if you come up with any cool ideas!

Memorial Day has come and gone, signaling the start of summer. For you this may means packing up your ski jacket, and grandma’s holiday sweaters to make room for shorts, and flip flops in every color. You may even be thinking about boxing up your scarf collection. But before you do, I’ll let you in on a little secret: summer scarves aren’t just for sailors anymore. That right, it’s time for you to step out of the box and into the sunshine with your favorite accessory.
While not every scarf is a friend of the June heat (for example I wouldn’t recommend wool for a day at the beach) you do have a number of options to choose from. My personal favorite? The versatile, lightweight, square scarf. And just like a square has four equal sides, here are four equally stylish ways to wear your square scarf this season.
The Bandana
Beat the heat with this western inspired look by first folding the scarf diagonally so the corners match up, forming a triangle. Position the scarf on your chest with one angle point towards your feet. To finish off the look, wrap the ends around your neck and tie them in the front underneath the triangle. Giddy up cowgirl, you’re ready to go.
The Belt
Who says belts can’t be functional and fashionable? Twist a large square scarf so that it resembles a rope and pull through your belt loops. Tie the ends in a bow or tuck them in neatly for a smoother appearance.
The Headband
Fashioning your own headband is a great way to keep the hair out of your face or an even better alternative to the dreaded elastic hair-tie. To transform a square scarf into a fashionable hair accessory, fold the scarf diagonally so it forms a triangle. Next, fold the scarf over itself (at the width of your choosing) until it resembles a ribbon. Place the center of the scarf at the crown of your head and double knot the ends at the base of your neck.
The Purse Bow
Let your favorite purse and favorite scarf join forces to create the ultimate summer bag. First fold your scarf as you would for a headband so that it looks like a ribbon. From here, drape the scarf around the handle of the purse. Take one end of the scarf and form a loop. Repeat with the other end. Next you will cross the two loops, creating a hole between them. Pull the top loop through the hole, pull tight and voila!
These are just four of the countless ways to wear square this season. So now that you’re thinking outside of the box, how are you going to reinvent the scarf this summer?

A scarf is so much more than just a rectangle of fabric to wrap around your neck. Instead of being a one-trick pony, a scarf can be your most versatile accessory. While you’ve most likely seen the innumerable ways to tie a scarf, let me take this time to introduce you to how to use a scarf in delightfully unexpected ways.
Watch and learn as I take our Monet Floral Scarf… 
…and turn it into three fabulously usable accessories.
A necklace: Use the Monet Floral Scarf as a rosette choker necklace by twisting the scarf and then wrapping it into the shape of a rose. Use the ends of the scarf to create the “petals”. This rosette necklace will help add an element of sophisticated drama to your outfit.
A shrug: Wrap the Monet under your arms and tie in the back. This is a perfect accessory on chilly nights. Scenario: You’re on a date whilst wearing a dashing dress and your Monet Floral Scarf but there’s a chill in the air. Do.Not.Panic. Simply remove the Monet from your neck and wrap into a shrug. Viola! Warmth and style.
A Belt: Wrap the Monet around your tummy (leaving the end in the back) and secure with a chic skinny belt. Pair this look with a jacket for a more complete ensemble and you’re in business, sister.
If florals aren’t your style, grab the Toni or Shannon scarves to achieve these three looks.
Tip for photographers: Don’t limit yourself. Be curious, experimental, do research and become inspired by it….and then photograph it.
Happy Photographing!
