Link Love Friday

Hello all you scarf cats! It’s the end of another week and time for our weekly scarf wrap-up. This weekend all of the girls in the scarf office are heading to downtown Indianapolis to see the Super Bowl Village to check out the draaaastic changes in our beloved Circle City. We’ve also planned to scope out all the “Super Scarves” like the one Sarah’s wearing in the photo above.

The “Super Scarves” are scarves knitted by folks all around the world and then donated to all of the Super Bowl volunteers. The Super Bowl Committee’s original goal was to have 8,000 scarves knitted and donated, but there are now over 13,00! With that kind of scarf enthusiasm, how can we avoid heading downtown?!

A couple fabulous Super Bowl volunteers wearing their “Super Scarves.” They also told us they knitted some scarves to give away as well!

Even the Civil War reenactment guide dug our blue pashmina– we love scarves, we love Indianapolis!

Have a wonderful weekend everyone! ♥ ♥ ♥

Sisterhood of the Traveling Scarf: Sarah and Tieka

Our Traveling Scarf has been trekking around the country, being passed from blogger to blogger. We’re excited to say that cute and crafty additions are being made to the scarf, and it’s being styled in lovely ways. Here are the scarf’s adventures with the latest gals of the Sisterhood:

sisterhood of the traveling scarf sassy stylista

We knew the scarf would be in good hands when it arrived on the Sassy Stylista’s doorstep. Sarah added a cute, glittery heart to the scarf, and she wore it during a downtown photo shoot. We hear her adventures with the scarf also involve fish tacos, but we’ll let her tell that story Read it here.

sisterhood of the traveling scarf selective potential

And from Indiana, the scarf journeyed to visit Tieka from Selective Potential. Tieka donned a pretty purple vintage frock and posed with the scarf in front of The Metaphorest Project mural in downtown Grand Rapids, Michigan. Check out more sweet shots from her scarf shoot here.

We’re happy to report the scarf is currently en route to the East Coast to visit Amy of Stylish Year.

And then around it goes — where it stops, nobody knows!

Scarf Obsession Confession

Hello scarf senoritas!

The ladies of Scarves Dot Net have an itsy bitsy problem today…We are going crazy!

Now, before you call a doctor or dismiss us for doomsville as those crazy cat ladies (what? there’s nothing wrong with our feline fascination!), we’ve got a perfectly good explanation for our madness. You see, while moving into our fancy new nest, we fell head over heels for a few of our scarfalicious new arrivals and fan favorites. And maybe it’s the dreary winter weather, or just the typical lull of a Tuesday afternoon that’s tipping us toward the loony bin, but this fond admiration has turned into a full-blown scarf obsession.

Here are a few that are making us pounce!

cheap scarves

polka dot scarf · green infinity scarf · orange scarf · turquoise scarf · ruffle loop scarf · heart scarf · striped pashmina · pink scarf · tribal pashmina · yellow scarf · floral spring scarf

GAH! You see what we mean? Too much adorableness for us to handle!

Have a wonderful day mates, and beware of catching our case of the scarf crazies

Decode Your Scarf Color Personality

Have you ever wondered why that lovely pop-of-color scarf made you feel a little cheerier, a little sassier, or a little more inspired? Aha! Besides the fact that the scarf itself makes us feel like a million bucks , we’ve always wondered if the color choice could quite possibly affect our mood, too!

After some investigating, scarf styling, and overall soul-searching, the gals at Scarves Dot Net have uncovered the inside scoop to why a particular scarf hue can make you feel more, well, YOU. Browse the scarf dye chart below to decode your color personality. And while you’re at it, we’ve teamed up with our scarf stylist to bring you a bevy of new ways to loop, knot, twist, tie, and wrap your scarf to perfection. For a little scarf “wearapy,” pick your fave color and tying technique, and embrace that new pep in your step. Why? Because you just colored yourself happy.

	Red: A red lady is strong and passionate, she wants what she wants, when she wants, where she wants. She is competitive and courageous; she’s always the first person people pick on their team. She’s never scared to pursue her dreams and goals, and she makes happiness and love the major priorities of her life. A red girl sings in the shower, eats chocolate every day, and takes sugar with her morning coffee. She always makes sure that her loved ones know they are loved, and her enthusiasm for life is contagious. How to tie the half bow. Are you this hue? Get wrapped up in our selection of red scarves!
	Orange: Just as there’s no other word in the English language that rhymes with orange, there is no one quite like an orange girl. She’s warm, optimistic, and extroverted– she’s the daring girl who everyone loves to be around. She is assertive instead of aggressive; an orange girl maintains an air of light-heartedness wherever she goes. (She adores loud concerts and spicy salsa.) The orange girl is a social butterfly who feels energized by all types of people. She knows how to expose her inner wild child while maintaining the respect and dignity she deserves. How to tie the rosette neck wrap. Are you this hue? Get wrapped up in our selection of orange scarves!
	Yellow: When a yellow girl walks into a room, people can’t help but smile. Her positive, sunny demeanor is contagious, and her energy and warmth radiate through every relationship she nurtures. She is highly imaginative, optimistic, and spiritual — and her creativity and artistic abilities inspire others to get in touch with their craftier sides. The yellow girl is powerful and strong. She loves to take on new challenges, all while keeping that cheery disposition and reliability everyone loves about her. How to tie the layered knot. Are you this hue? Get wrapped up in our selection of yellow scarves!
	Lime: Like a scoop of sorbet, a lime lady is smooth, tangy, and oh-so-sweet. She’s strong-willed, enthusiastic, and very goal-oriented, which makes her the perfect party host or team leader. While she’s a lover of outdoor adventures and on-the-go schedules, she gives off calming vibes that boast good health, tranquility, and renewal. She’s a breath of fresh air to everyone she meets and inspires others to be spontaneous and shoot for the stars. How to braid a scarf. Are you this hue? Get wrapped up in our selection of lime scarves!
	Green: For Kermit, it might not be easy being green, but for the strong green gal, she can endure and rise above any curve ball thrown her way. Like mother nature, she is naturally beautiful, an animal lover, and doesn’t surround herself with materialistic things or thoughts. The green gal is ambitious and carefree: She thrives in a productive, soothing environment (and loves naps and bubble baths:) ). Her friends and family appreciate her stability, harmony, and ability to make everyone feel secure and loved no matter what. How to tie the fake knot. Are you this hue? Get wrapped up in our selection of green scarves!
	Turquoise: A turquoise girl is calm and cool on the exterior, but on the inside she’s a creative dreamer with her eyes on the future. Whether she daydreams about winning the state championship swim meet, or earning the coveted corner office, a turquoise girl has her personal goals outlined and she knows what must be done to achieve them. A turquoise girl is a great leader, she’s never labeled “Seniorita Bossypants” and she never rules with an iron fist. Instead, she lets her instinctive influence wash over everyone to help them become the best person they can be. How to tie the slip knot. Are you this hue? Get wrapped up in our selection of turquoise scarves!
	Blue: A blue gal is reliable and and steady, just like the ocean tides. She is a great friend to all because she is so dependable and trustworthy — she hates to cause trouble and is sensitive to the needs of others. A blue girl loves direction and order, and she can’t help but cry during those sad Lifetime movies. Her favorite vacation spot? The ocean, of course! How to tie the loose knot. Are you this hue? Get wrapped up in our selection of blue scarves!
	Purple: Although she is not literally Princess Kate, a purple girl is royal on the inside. She’s a multi-tasker who has an aura of intrigue, mystery, creativity, and individuality. A modern Holly Golightly, a purple girl knows that being happy is a way of being wise. With her spunk-yet-refined attitude, a purple girl understands how to stand above the crowd while remaining classic and classy at the same time. How to tie the French knot. Are you this hue? Get wrapped up in our selection of purple scarves!
	Pink: A pink lady is the epitome of femininity and fabulousness. Her dainty-sweet nature is reflected in her style: ruffles, bows, hearts, and glittery-goodness. Her adorable, charming attitude makes friends for life and leaves everyone she encounters tickled pink. The pink lady is the queen of loyalty, harmony, and innocence, making her the go-to gal for long, heartfelt talks or a mani/pedi outing with the girls. And when her flirty, romantic side surfaces, one bat of those lashes always seems to steal a few hearts. How to do a fancy scarf braid. Are you this hue? Get wrapped up in our selection of pink scarves!

♡ Who knew that one fabulous hue could say so much about your inner you?

♥Happy Friday all you scarf luhhhh-vas! We had SUCH an exciting week this week, with our nouveau website and revamped scarf store! Jiggity jig for our new scarf digs!

Other eventful news, some of the scarf girls went downtown to see what all the Super Bowl fuss was all about– did we mention we are are super scarfy in the Super City for the Super Bowl? Oh yeah. We wore our Super Bowl-themed scarves downtown to ogle at the gigantic numerals. See the Frenchman in the photo? He saw us taking our scarf photo and insisted to join our photo. He asked where we were from, we said, “Here!” He said, “Oh, I’m from over there!” He motioned to France.

Scarf love feels no continental borders, my friends.

And a few of our favorite links for the week:

♥ Oh my gosh Sidewalk Ready has the most incredible braided scarf tutorial.
♥ These leather clutches by KSladeMade are InCrEdiBle!

Project: Time Capsule 2012!

Hi, scarf lovers!!

How is 2012 treating you?? We’re loving it so far at the Scarves Dot Net HQ, and we want to keep the love alive by creating a 2012 Time Capsule!

I know, I know… it’s still pretty early in the year, but there’s a lot that we want to remember! We’re putting together our own internet time capsule of things we’re currently obsessing over, from celeb crushes to our favorite websites. We’re also doing this to help us remember what Scarves Dot Net was like at the beginning of 2012 — because big change is a comin’!

Hurry and check out what we’re throwing in, because we’re about to bury it — for five years! (Once the ground unfreezes a bit…)

monkey and puppy

Internet trends

How many times has Facebook changed since you signed up? I know I can’t count, so I’m including a screenshot of my Facebook page in the time capsule. It’ll be pretty cool in five years to look back and say, “Whoa, I totally remember when they launched Timeline! It seems like so long ago…” I’ve also thrown in “New New Twitter,” and our beloved AffordableScarves.com and Scarves.net homepages. ♥

internet loves

Maggie V is crazy for SEO Ryan Gosling. Actually, we all are!!
Maggie T is showing off the new Facebook timeline. What will it look like this time next year?
Molly’s loving Atlantic Pacific, and of course, fashion mags!

Sarah Stacie time capsule

Sarah H is showing off her super cute, super cool blog, TulleandTrinkets.com.
Stacie loves a lot of things, and some of them are her blog Stars for Streetlights, HelloGiggles.com, and the adorable Zooey Deschanel (and today is Zooey’s birthday!!!).
And Maggie still can’t stop photobombing

Current Celeb Crushes

Since we’re knee-deep in fashion trends all day, every day, you better believe we’ve got some serious celeb crushes around here. To help us remember, we’re adding these to the time capsule too!
