Neck Scarves

Bonjour!
You all should be very jealous...because my working week is oover...AND IT'S A THURSDAY! I had monday off due to labor day, tuesday off due to illness, and now friday off due to this school celebration called welcome day! It's basically a morning filled with welcoming the new freshies to high school. Each grade picks a theme and are banned from telling anyone...we try, we really do. This year my class is Tea Party Tenth Graders which translates into Alice in Wonderland theme. Then there's Super Smash Bros Seniors, Ferocious Freshmen, and ____ Juniors (those juniors are tough to crack). Speaking of themes, you can tell the theme of this post is neck scarves. A classic silk scarf has so many different uses, each one being irresistible. You could tie it around your head like Audrey Hepburn, wear it around your neck like Marc Jacobs, or tie a prestigious Hermes scarf onto your handbag. They polish off any outfit and are a must have for Fall. Anyway, I have to go as I have to cook (god forbid) some fettuccine alfredo for tomorrows potluck.

Me in San Fran!

Bonjour!
I just got back from the beach! Oh, Labor Day weekend is such a glorious thing! I've done nothing but lounge around soaking up the last of the Summer sun...much like a cat. The only difference is that a vicious sunburn has taken hostage of my back and face >.> I beat my brick high score! Level 11, CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?! Ah, I digress -j'ai la tête dans les nuages- I've been keeping an eye on that red American Apparel beret for quite some time. I've been saving up my allowance so that I can eventually claim it as my own. Berets have always reminded me of England (i know, ironic) because when I was little my mum bought me this adorable navy coat with a matching beret. I used to trot through London wearing my hat proudly during the Christmas holidays. I'm hoping to revive the beret in my wardrobe as they have a real charm when worn CORRECTLY. Note how I stressed "correctly". It never fails to amaze me how many people mess this one up. Don't put all of your hair up in to the beret or you'll just look daft. Instead, leave your hair down and let it frame your face. If you still can't quite master putting on the standard beret then try a knit one as they are less stiff.
