Vogue tells us that the scarf is the accessory of the season. Extra large scarves and wraps were seen on the runways draped over chic designer coats. This edit features high and low pieces that will elevate your own look, while keeping you warm and all wrapped up. 

Extreme Fringe Scarf

At 137 inches long and fringe for days (and nights), this scarf will elevate any look! $54.

Ombre Print Wool Scarf

Fabulous! The colors. The size. I really love it. Think what it could do for your black coat.

Bajra Cashmere Wrap

Designed by the woman that discovered the pashmina. It's a lovely look that is so wearable. Pricey, but you will have it for years.

Neiman Marcus

Sofia Cashmere Lightweight Cashmere Leopard-Print Scarf

I think we all agree that a leopard print is now a neutral. Wearthis with your camel, white, and grey coats.

Neiman Marcus

Cuddling Brown Stripe Wrap
Love this! It's a real budget buy, too. Wrap it over a black coat, LBD or sweater. You can also fold it to make an oblong scarf. It's fun with a lot of style for the money.

Lulus

Cashmere Travel Wrap

Be ready for anything with this cashmere travel wrap. It's the perfect thing to cover your legs and torso while traveling on a plane. It can easily be folded to create a long scarf, it's very generous in size, and  comes in a huge array of colors. What a fab gift idea for the frequent traveler.

White + Warren

Burberry Fringed Cashmere Scarf 

It's expensive but it is also reversible. So it's like getting two scarves for the price of one. And it is long enough ( 6 feet) to make a real statement,

Saturdays At Shop This: Remembering Queen Elizabeth

What a sad week this turned out to be. I just started watching The Crown last month, and to say that I am enjoying it, would be an understatement. But now, I know the ending, and I don't like it one bit.  So for this Saturday, I am forgoing the normal weekly wrap up of quick links. Instead here's some fun and fashionable facts about Queen Elizabeth. It was good therapy for me. I hope that you enjoy it, as well.

June 2022

Lucky Paddington Bear. He had tea with the Queen last June. It was the most adorable promotion ever! The little bear would make a wonderful new baby gift, or a present for any child. Harrods has one made exclusively for them. It's an instant keepsake, and you can order it HERE

Marmalade French Toast Sandwiches

The Queen shared a marmalade sandwich with Paddington Bear. This recipe looks even better than the one that The Queen whipped up. (wink, wink )

Taste Of Home

Tea With The Queen

The Queen, my friend, Mollie, and myself have something in common besides our penchant for cocktails. We all consider Earl Grey our choice in tea. Her Majesty's brand was Twinings. It's quite affordable at Amazon

Scents of a Queen

One of the characteristics I loved about the Queen was her femininity. In "The Crown," you see her having her makeup done, and watch her nightly skincare ritual, that she did herself. Floris London created a very special fragrance for the Queen's Jubilee in June. It's called Platinum 22. The fragrance takes its' inspiration from the flora of Her Majesty’s beautiful gardens which surround Her UK residences. We can experience the fragrance, too.  Find it at Bergdorf Goodman.

Guerlain L'Heure Bleue'
According to Vogue, the Queen's personal favorite fragrance was from the House of Guerlain. Though I have not had the pleasure to try this scent, I do know the House of Guerlain. Fun fact, during a  stay in Paris in a special suite at The Ritz, the bathroom came equipped with a full size bottle of Guerlain for me. I loved it!!! You can find this fragrance on line at Harrods

Headscarves At Balmoral
Known for her colorful matching hats, even off duty, she covered her head often. Her signature printed scarves were sourced from the likes of Hermes and Burberry. Be sure to check out Vestiaire Collective for some vintage finds at great prices.

The Queen's People
Royal lovers will enjoy this most beautiful book I have ever seen. It's a"magnificent collection of photography that brings Queen Elizabeth II and important members of Her Majesty’s court to life as rarely seen before. " Find it for a King's ransom at 

Assouline

Launer Handbags

The Queen's signature handbags were custom made by Launer London. I wonder how many she actually had. At the price of these chic and proper purses, much of England's debt could be wiped out with the sale of them. Of course, the bags are made in England with unmatched craftsmanship. You and I can have our own and order from 

Selfridges

The Queen's Cocktail

It's no secret that her Majesty enjoyed a tipple or three every day. Her drink of choice was a Gin and Dubonnet. Find the recipe at Food and Wine, and toast the Queen this weekend. Cheers!

Farewell, Queen Elizabeth. You did good. I respected you.  Live your best life everyone. Tomorrow is not promised.
