turban it up.

well hello there darlings...

Prada's been playing up the turban since 2007... in a beautiful rich array of colourful silks... but it wasn't until the idea began to show up in less formal fabrics that I began to become fascinated. Well because... ummmmm.... I'm not really too "formal" of a person....;)

Turbans have been around forever.... obviously among cultures in the middle east, but also in contemporary fashion scenes off and on over the last century.

There is something so pretty about the shape they create on the head... as opposed to a regular beanie or sloucher hat... (or tuque! as we call them in Canada!) The shape is feminine and really frames the face. I love this look paired with a little faux fur coat.... low back over sized t-shirt.... or even a billowy blouse.... and of course.... big chunky gold jewelry. As mentioned in yesterdays blog.... this is one of those pieces you gotta just own it... you either love it or your dont.

ummm.... I love it. xo.
