Celeb Signature: Jessica's Scarves

One accessory I can never get enough of is a scarf. They can be tied many different ways so they never get boring. Plus, they add a pop of color to an ordinary outfit. I love Jessica Alba's collection of scarves because she wears them so effortlessly.
In this first picture, Jessica wear a simple t-shirt with a thick scarf. This looks cute in the summer time with a tank top but can easily be worn in the winter with a toasty coat.

This Tolani scarf is seen tied three different ways with three different outfits. My favorite way to wear a scarf is with a t-shirt and jeans like her first outfit. A trendy way to wear your cotton summer is to twist a light scarf around your neck to add some punch to your dress. The scarf also works well in colder temperatures because you can just toss it over a long sleeved shirt.
A cozy scarf is perfect for looking pulled together at the airport without sacrificing your comfort. I like wearing scarves on a plane ride because they cut the air conditioning chill but still look super fab as you walk off the plane. (And a gorgeous leather bomber doesn't hurt either.)
I usually don't wear my scarves with a printed t-shirt because I don't want to take away the print by adding a scarf on top, but Jessica solves this dilemma by keep her shirt long and her scarf short.

Pressed for time? Stick to your classic t-shirt and jeans and throw on a loose sweater as you walk out the door. Loop a bright colored scarf around your neck and you're good to go!
The design on Jessica's scrf here is absolutely beautiful! I love the rich colors and intricate floral details. The stripes on the end are a funky way to keep this scarf from looking too stuffy. She expertly layers her scarf over a plain shirt so it does not distract the eye from the scarf. (How cute is her daughter in her teeny scarf?)
One of my favorite color combos is blue and brown. Here Jessica shows how a neutral color can be an excellent base for bold blue. This scarf is much thicker so I would only wear this one in the winter. You can wrap it over your coat for some added style and then wear it with your sweater underneath as well.
Pink scarves are my fortay! I wear them with every color and continually buy them in every shade. Jessica wears hers with a neutral gray and white ensemble to keep the scarf the focal point.

Celeb Signature: Nicole's Head Scarves

Nicole Richie is my fashion idol. I constantly look to her to find creative ways to wear my accessories. Nicole's signature fashion piece is a scarf and she has be known to wear them with anything. One of my favorite ways she plays around with her look is by changing up her scarves that she wears. Here are some ways Nicole wears her scarves as a headband.
First off, this hair design is my absolute favorite! Start off by taking 3/4 of your hair and putting it in a high bun. Tie your scarf around your head. Then take your bun out and tousle the layers over the scarf. Split the section of hair over your scarf in half and loop it through a half ponytail. It's quick and simple but it looks like it took you hours!
This is the classic Nicole look: skinny jeans, flats, big sunglasses, and a scarf tied around her wavy locks. I love the colors on this scarf because it turns an ordinary jeans and t-shirt into a chic ensemble. The gold bangles also add a touch of style to her outfit :)

Nicole has the whole hippie-vibe down pat. The maxi dress is a little plain to me but the rich blue hue of her scarf is so pretty! Throw on a big pair of sunglasses and some gold jewelry and you'll be looking great in no time!

Stylish at the beach?Definitely! Nicole adds flair to her basic bikini with a bold print scarf and trendy sunglasses. Here is the ultimate glamorous beach goddess! I am dying to recreate those waves that seem perfectly flowing out from her metallic scarf. With the previous bathing suit, Nicol chose a colored scarf with her neutral suit. Here she chose a neutral scarf with a colored suit. I think its a great idea to keep one thing neutral so you look like a modern hippie. :)
Again we see a t-shirt with a scarf and sunglasses, but what makes this outfit different from the rest is that the sunglasses are the center of attention and the scarf is just a fabulous accessory. (Note that the sunglasses are a neutral color but the size of them are not overpowered by the smaller scarf.)
By changing it up and wearing the scarf along her hairline, Nicole successfully makes each outfit a tad more unique than the last.
