Scarf Knot...Flower

First attempt- Flower knot
Hermes Scarf
Gold Cameo Necklace from Italy
 
I'm using a 45cm Gavroche
Step one- Lay scarf right side up, fold two corners together
Slide the remaining corners under the knot, pull tight
Flip around and adjust center(flower) to desired pouf
You can wear with ends rolled like the first photo or opt for a more casual look with the ends loose. I prefer to wear mine off centre, tie in the back and voila!
 
Happy Knotting!

Mai Tai Collection...Scarf Rings


Safe Arrival
Individually Wrapped and Labelled
My favorite of the bunch- Grande-light Mother of Pearl


My Verdict: While recently browsing Chocolate Cookies and Candies I came upon Mai Tai Collection.
I immediately placed an order and it arrived the following week. Tres happy with the service and shipment and IN LOVE with the products! Highly recommend if you're looking for something to add interest to your scarves. I purchased one of each size to accomodate my scarves and shawls.

Mai Tai also has a wonderful blog, and youtube channel showing different scarf knots and here's one of my favorite knots...

Tres excited to start knotting! Will update with some photos...

Fifty Shades...Trilogy

Thank you Stef for my birthday present!
 
My Verdict: Praiseworthy. In keeping with the PG13 view, I won't divulge too much.  I received the first book as a gift, which I felt it was a smidge hard core for my liking. But naturally my curious mind wanted to know more. Out I went to Book Warehouse to purchase the last 2. I will say my favorite of the 3 books is the last one, Fifty Shades of Freed. I love how there's a bit at the end in Christian's pov...
 
If you've read the first book and was turned off, do read it to the end. It's definately worth it! IMO however I could do without book 2...but who wants a 2 book series! More Christian Grey I say!!!
 
In other news...If you're obsessed with Fifty Shades as I am (I've read it 4 times since owning it...) you'll be happy to hear there's a Classical Album coming out...
 
Purchase the trilogy here...

Aritzia Warehouse Sale...2012



FYI tomorrow is the last day of the sale...
Aritzia
My tips to tackle the sale...


Readers anyone pick up anything?

Recent finds...Homesense

Not sure how practical as it can get tangled if you have more than 1 necklace/bracelet hanging...
Plus if there was more than one item, it would get annoying if the item you wanted was the first on the loop...
Love that this swivels
This would be a perfect makeup storage system...adding a brush holder on top would be like a cherry on top! voila!
Alexander McQueen-esque?...
Amrita Singh $49.99! It's reversable!

Left with this...

I have been loving the Chevron lately...

And found what I was looking for...
 
 
Non-slip hangers...
