Chic and sophisticated, the silk scarf is an impeccable fashion accent. This timeless accessory adds instant style impact, and is available in sleek prints, bold monochromatic colors, and silk-blended textures to complete each look. For flawless styling, tie a silk scarf in your hair, around the strap of your favorite handbag, or knotted to perfection at the neck. Just be sure to save your favorites through the winter – Ferragamo, Emilio Pucci and D&G all showed creative takes on the silk scarf for Spring 2012 during Milan Fashion Week.

Spring break may be over, but it’s never too late to pack up your bags and go! Whether you are heading to far off places or simply fantasizing about your dream destination, travel can be a great source of fashion inspiration. Personally, I have always envisioned trekking the trendy streets of famous locales around the world. This week, London is calling! It may have been the recent loss of Alexander McQueen that has sparked a British invasion in my closet. Images of the Union Jack, Savile Row, Burberry, Vivienne Westwood and the effortlessly cool Kate Moss immediately come to mind. Not to mention, the British influence on my iPod (The Clash, The Beatles, The Who and Spice Girls, of course).
