Moon Cats Blue Velvet Shawl

The trend is toward incorporating more scarves and shawls into our wardrobes than ever. They are functional besides lending an exciting fashion element to what we wear.  When Moon Cats, the scarf company, reached out and asked if I would be interested in reviewing something from their collection, I was more than happy to oblige.

With all the beautiful possibilities at their website, I had a challenge.  I debated between one of their lightweight scarves that I could tie like their Principessa to drape stylishly around my neck or a shawl.  I thought the long scarf would look spectacular to dress up a pair of jeans or basically anything.

Then, my eyes kept drifting back to their lovely shawls.  Honestly, all styles in that section appealed to me, but my top choice was between the Aztec Blanket since that design is quite the rage now and the Blue Velvet shawl. 

Finally, I selected the Blue Velvet because I love black as well as that glittering royal blue detail woven through this shawl and its finished scalloped edging.  It also looked cozy.  This shawl is 100% acrylic, washable by hand,  and is also a shorter length at 56" over the 78" Aztec Blanket with a wide cape-style sleeve.

I was pleased when I took my shawl from the box and got a good look at this piece.  It really was lovely with nice workmanship for a $49.95 shawl.  The even nicer part was cuddling up in it because it was soft and warm to grab on a chilly winter day.

If you’re hunting for new scarves and shawls, I think you would like what Moon Cats has to offer.  In fact, you can save 20% on all their scarves from now until January 15, 2015 when you enter NUTSFORSTUFF20OFF.   Scarves and shawls do make a great gift as well so check their site out!

FRAAS Spring-Summer 2014 Collection Dottie Scarves

What woman can live with just one scarf?  An eye-popping scarf can be the perfect fashion accessory you need for Spring.  A beautiful example is the latest Dottie Scarf collection from FRAAS for what it can do to update your wardrobe and sense of style.

Measuring 28 x 76-inches, these white, dotted polyester scarves can be worn several different ways from just draping around your neck.  You  can wear them as waist wraps, shawls, head wraps, sarongs and fashion into a halter top, if so inclined. 

The colors available are fresh and vibrant such as turquoise, yellow, pink, and green in the somewhat sheer polyester, fitting for the warmer weather. 

Taupe is the last shade, and the one I requested, which is more neutral.  In the photo, taupe appears practically an orchid.  In reality, taupe is a soft gray with a hint of brown.

A Dottie Scarf retails for $32.  FRAAS products are sold worldwide via department and specialty stores as well as online retailers.  You may also order from the company by calling 212-575-0191. Select styles are available on fraas.com and amazon.com

My Luxe Find for the Holidays--FRAAS Metallic Zebra Scarf From Their Fall-Holiday 2013 Collection (Review)

FRAAS Metallic Zebra Scarf

Now is the time to sparkle when it comes to dressing up your wardrobe for the holidays.  Accessories such as a stunning metallic scarf can help steal attention, adding a bit more sophistication to your look.  My suggestion is looking into a FRAAS Metallic Zebra scarf like the gorgeous gold one I received for this review.

This scarf is from their new Palace Grandeur line, which weaves different yarns and patterns to embellish an opulent effect.  The Metallic Zebra that I got uses metallic yarns mixed with acrylic and viscose against an animal print so it has just the subtle shimmer to make it eye-catching and not gaudy. 

This is a big scarf (12 x 80-inch) that you can do a great deal with.  Use it as a wrap or simply as a scarf to fancy whatever you choose.  You won't need to spend a fortune or worry about something this ornate that needs to be dry-cleaned.  

This scarf retails for just $35 and needs only to be hand-washed to care for it!  I really loved this scarf in gold, however, the Metallic Zebra also comes in white or black.

AFRAAS Fall-Holiday 2013 scarves

FRAAS the Scarf Company also has a Country Etiquette (rich autumnal shades) and a Nouveux Generation line (bold looks with bright colors) as well as the Palace Grandeur for the 2013  Fall-Holiday Collection. 

If you're confused over what to buy that special woman in your life, I think any lady would welcome this FRAAS Metallic Zebra scarf to top off her wardrobe.  I know that I do love mine.

You can find FRAAS scarves at their website or at Amazon.
