AS YOU MOST likely know by now, the chunky knit and silk/satin skirt combination is a classic. We've written about it several times here and every year, around this time, the look becomes relevant once again...
ONE OF OUR favourite Mini Trends of the moment is the very chic pairing of a pair of flared blue jeans with a silk scarf tied in the hair, which is set in a pretty half ponytail. It's pretty and romantic and perfect for these October days when paired with a soft cardigan, cableknit jumper or even a puff-sleeved blouse or white t-shirt if it's a warm day.

Read recently that hot rollers were making a comeback, but for me, they never went away.

OF ALL THE CURRENT spring trends, the silk scarf is one of our favourites. Pretty and versatile, you can wear it in your hair or adorn the handle of a handbag or wicker tote; wear it around the neck or the wrist, or channel Audrey Hepburn and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and wear as a head-covering with oversize shades. Whatever your preference, nothing is quite as chic as a silk scarf this season (or anytime, really).
