"The secret of fashion is to surprise and never to disappoint."
Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton



The scarf....the statement! I love scarves! A scarf is the easiest way to update an outfit, add a touch of color, texture or femininity. When shopping for others, the scarf is the best idea to give! I find a scarf to be a wonderful form of self-expression and flair reflection of the wearer.

Between the upcoming Holiday season, and the Trunk Show next week, I have been busy creating, styling, and designing lots of variations of scarves. Here are just a few samples to be seen next week!

Included in the selection is my favorite, Chiffon scarves. My sizes range 22" x 90" to 18" x 72". This year I have several color choices, some that are fairly solid in color with bits of metallic splashed through or a touch of a design to an edge. When wrapped around the neck the look is amazing and the softness of the chiffon perfect. I have a few that I "over-dyed" with a touch of opaque colors resulting in an amazing iridescent color blend.

Of course, I still carry the famous, never failing Charmeuse scarves. My favorite size, 22" x 90" or 18 x 72. I have several varieties to choose from, most with a festive watercolor effect.

To compliment the season, I have included this year a few Silk Cut Velvets! Truly lovely pieces that hold their hues incredibly. The added fringe makes these around 76".

Last, I am venturing into a new look. Using 100% Habotai Silk, cut a generous 45" x 108", this scarf has endless possibilities. Lightweight enough to be worn as a typical scarf, generous enough to wear on those lovely tropical vacations as a wrap, or, stay truly on top of the "in crowd" and you have the perfect yoga scarf for meditation. They are so unique!! The colors shimmer, and the feel is remarkable.

Come see everything next week!! I am sure you will find lots you want for gifts...and maybe something for yourself! Plus, I will be taking orders if that special color scheme isn't found! Remember, Abide Studio, Nov 18 - 21, for more information contact me or www.deborahgall.com
