I am SO giddy to share this post with you! So last weekend I walked into Restoration Hardware for fun and immediately started daydreaming of all the beautiful things for my future home...as you do in Restoration Hardware. (Hey, a girl can dream, right?!) And then all of a sudden, in a store filled with breathtaking home furnishings, I see these Luxe Faux Fur Scarves right next to all the lush Faux Fur Blankets. I froze for a second. I assumed they must be way over $100 for the quality and almost didn't want to even tempt myself by trying one on. (Sometimes when I see gorgeous pieces in an expensive store, I have to put my horse blinders on and walk away. Otherwise I will fall in love too fast and in the same breathe be heartbroken that I can't afford it.) BUT THEN I see that these scarves are on sale for $12.99!! What?!? I jumped for joy right there in the store! (or at least I did in my head!) I almost bought out the whole inventory to give as gifts!! Seriously though, guys, these are amazing. Every color is so elegant (I had the hardest time choosing).  It feels like a blanket wrapped around your neck. Does it get any better than that? Oh yes it does, they are $12.99!!

In these two pictures I am wearing my lynx faux fur as a scarf but you could easily wear it as a stole (wrapped around your shoulders or just hanging around your neck over a coat, dress, or top). Anthropologie had a similar style this winter that I was obsessed with! It's such a glamorous, vintage look that can dress up any outfit. I also love that it keeps me extra warm and doesn't mess up my hair!! (That's been a serious concern for me in the winter. Does that happen to anyone else? You put a chunky scarf on and all the time you spent curling your hair is now pointless? Well not anymore!!).

Run...do not walk....to grab one of these beauties before they're gone! (or shop online!)

Kimonos have been such a fun trend this summer and are perfect to take you into fall. A really affordable way to create this look is to take one of your favorite scarves and wear it over your shoulders and arms like a shawl. When it's positioned this way, it gives the illusion of a kimono. If you're rocking a crop top or short shorts, it's also a great way to balance the amount of skin you're revealing. This boho chic style will definitely update your look. Plus I'm a big fan of wearing old things in your closet in a new way! This floral scarf is from Target and I'm completely obsessed! I get so many compliments when I wear it and I love to tell people this gem was only $14.99! Woo hoo! So either run out the door (or go online) and get one for yourself or find a vintage scarf hidden at the bottom of your drawer and give it new life!
