Shop Blast: Hair scarves

Remember my little hair scarf phase I went through a few weeks ago regarding music videos? Yeah, I barely do too.

Here are some more inspirations from street style photographers Scott Schuman (the Sartorialist) and Tommy Ton :

 

... and I gotta admit it was a bit tough finding some silk scarves online.

Feel for some animal print and a subtle advertisement? Coach has you covered in this ocelot print for $68:

So do all silk scarves come with logos? FENDI says "si" with this fun yellow "5 Star" scarf for $185.  By the way, only 2 left! If you want it, act quickly.

Hermes, Hermes, claro que si.  Ahem, I mean absolument! If you can’t find a vintage silk scarf, you can get a vintage-inspired design that they stock… It will run you about $305. I really love the comic-inspired print - the French love comics!

For those of you who can cut a straight line a hand-roll a hem, you can cut a piece of fabric to suit your head size and go to town with whichever print at your local fabric store.  Silk is better for your hair because it does not cause breakage, but here are two cotton ideas.  The most iconic fabrics come from Liberty of London and Marimekko.  Liberty prints are usually pretty small and you can get knock-offs at your local fabric store.  Marimekko fabrics are mostly for quirky wall art, but there are some small prints, such as the poppies.  I used a larger poppy print for a skirt that I love.  You can either leave the border unfinished to toughen the look (still stitch all around to prevent as much fraying as possible) or roll the ends under by hand sewing.
