Your weekly hand picked trend

Recently, W Magazine declared that bright striped tops were a must have trend for the summer. The LA Made Marina cami in Light Bright Yellow fits this trend to a T! Wear this top with shorts for a day time summer look, then for a night look, pair it with the J Brand 23110 Maria High Rise Skinny Leg Jeans in Mazzaro, Meile Bianco Riley Envelope clutch in Blush and some heels and you’re good to go! 2 looks for one top! Don’t you love it when you get more than you bargained for? : )

Your weekly hand picked trend

Hats are a must for summer, especially with all the dangers of skin cancer that have come up a lot more in the media. Your head is the hardest place to check for abnormal moles and freckles if you have a full head of hair! You could go the route of applying the spray kind of sunscreen to your scalp but that just gets oily and gross. Wear a hat instead! Pair the Randle Hat in grey by Coal with the LA Made Clothing  Jessika Henley in Vanilla Bean and Paige Premium Denim Jimmy Jimmy Jean short in Sardinia, the Trove Tkees  Foundation leather sandals in Razzle and you’ve got the ultimate causal summer outfit!

Get the Look: Reese Witherspoon

Reese Witherspoon shows off Kut from the Kloth's jean jacket, one of this Spring's hottest must have items, in People's Style Watch feature below. We want to copy all the looks, but are loving the laid back, simple style of the middle one and how easy it is to replicate it from items at your favorite Portland shopping boutique, Shop Adorn!

All you need to do is pair the multi-use KUT from the KLOTH Jean Jacket with the KUT from the Kloth Audrey Skinny Jeans in Adversity wash. We'd spice it up a bit and pair it with the Obey Women's Tiger Sketch Tee in Heather Grey and finally top it off with the Fluxus Nomad Scarf in Horizon and a cute pair of flats.

New Fluxus Nomad Scarf Review

The right accessory can make or break an outfit, we know this! It's been ingrained into our girl consciousness since most of us were wee little things, which explains our obsession for the Nomad Fluxus Scarf. It's the perfect accessory to throw over any outfit to add a pop of color, more depth to what may otherwise be a bland outfit or to just keep us warm. How to wear your fluxus nomad scarf is entirely up to you- loop, knot or just drape it around your shoulders, the effect is the same. If you need more in-depth directions, check out our How to wear your Fluxus Scarf blog. Below we offer a fluxus nomad scarf review of all the new colors we got in stock yesterday and the classics.

How to wear your Fluxus nomad scarf

Now that Oprah has featured the Fluxus nomad scarf we have scarves on the brain. While it’s clear how fashionable scarves can be and how they can add some razzle dazzle to just about any outfit, some of us don’t know the different ways to wear this must have accessory. Luckily at Shop Adorn we’re here to guide you towards three of the more common looks- the knot, the loop and letting it hang.

The knot (as seen with the pulp colored scarf)
This tried and true look can be accomplished in a flash on your way out the door and looks best with a blazer, cardigan or over a simple shirt. Hold both scarf ends in one hand and hold the looped end in the other. Hang around the back of your neck and then thread the loose ends through the looped end in front and viola you’re rockin the knot.

The loop (as seen with the purple, blue and black scarves)
Just as simple as the knot and a great way to add some depth to a tee, sweater or dress. Hold an end of the scarf in both hands and drape the scarf around the front of your neck. Wrap around your neck two or three times, depending on how much slack in the scarf you prefer. You can leave the ends hanging in the front, or back or tuck them up in the loops. You can also simply loop it once around your neck and let the ends drape down your front for a tighter look.

Letting it hang (as seen with the ivory scarf)
This is by far the simplest, but looks fantastic with just about any top or jacket that hits below the waist. Just drape the scarf around the back of the neck and let the ends fall loosely down your front.

These are of a few classic ways to wear a scarf, but we want to hear how you like to wear one in our comments section below!
