Our quest for the wierdest scarf on the planet continues.


The search for the strangest scarf on the market continues this week with this skinny little acrylic Crime Scene Scarf available from Target stores in the US. An ode to the football scarves that are currently available- this little number embodies the same use of naff material and scary colours only with a crime (no pun intended) of a slogan emblazoned across it.

We're not quite sure if it's the garish yellow and black colours or the wording which makes us squeamish...I guess on the plus side you'd never go unnoticed in a crowd.

Boobie Scarves.



Just when you think you've seen it all... During the shows at London and New York Fashion week there have been some statement accessories but none quite as shocking as Japan's statement scarf of this year-the Boobie!
Possibly the wierdest and most hilarious thing we've ever seen. Move over Lily and Lionel... we have a new scarf rival in town.
Somehow, I think it's safe to say these won't massively be catching on. Priceless!

Ski Season.








The ski season is upon us and when coming accross these delightful black and white old school ski pictures I had to share them with you. This is what it was like to ski in the 40's it seems... Pure fun and games. You've got to love how the ladies are managing to attempt to hit the slopes in their bra's-true girl power at it's best (not to mention the brave/insane topless guy in the first image).
In true signature style, Americal Apparel have sexed up their vision of Apres Ski. Their idea of post skiing wind down time basically translates to bedtime play... Good on them, it certainly looks more fun than a glass of mulled wine!

Possibly the most beautiful image?

This is by far and away the most beautiful shot we've come accross in a long time- The stunning Lily Cole modelling this unbelievable Dior couture dress- the swathes of fabric combined with the detail of the staircase is a photography marriage made in heaven.

Happy 20th Birthday Photoshop!


Call it cheesy, chavvy or just tounge in cheek we kind of like this fun image of our Beach Print Scarf.
We got a bit carried away on Photoshop and made quite a few-trust us, this is by far and away the least offensive!
What beter way for us to wish Photoshop a happy 20th birthday?

Dream Outfit


Now this is the perfect outfit for a day around London town. A mixture of the ultimate YSL bag, Rick Owens leather Jacket, Isabel Marant skirt, oh... and our Tree Printed scarf. ;)
We can't take any of the credit for putting this wonderful ensemble together- it's the clever people at Stella Magazine we must salute.
