We heart Polaroids...ON SCARVES

I remember when I used to play with my mum's Polaroid camera in front of the mirror as a kid. Things haven't changed now that I am a bit older so instead of playing I am in hunt for the same camera around antique shops. What- If Rachel Zoe has it, I have to have it too.
Joking apart, when Polaroid manufacture announced no longer production back in 2008, the photographers didn't feel very well, nor designers too- fashion shows could barely function without polaroids. But thanks to The Impossible Project, new techniques, Urban Outfitters, Lady Gaga's partnership with corporation, finally we can have a sigh of relief. And to heal the sadness we were feeling, we need to celebrate with every single polaroid. So except I celebrate with Andy Warhol, who is my one of favorites related to fashion polaroids or Jeremy Kost, few months ago I fell in love with those that Antonio Barros snaps. I'm sure if you are reading misslikey long enough you noticed that obsession of mine on the header of blog. Sometimes I just like to imagine everything as polaroid image, even myself, so you can imagine the happiness I felt today I bumped on collection of polaroid scarves on Reborn shop pages. Yes, you did understand well- Printed polaroid images on pure silk, luxurious and soft scarves. You don't know what to do with them first- to hang them on the wall or wrap around your neck?!

Chèrie.

small silk scarf

In some cultures symbolizes sanctity, character, modesty and religious attire. Fashionistas consider it as luxury and keep it in jewelery box. Lot of people wouldn’t borrow it to their best friend because there is story that is keeper of your personality and scent.
Even the simple outfit can be improved with neatly picked scarf. Since we lately love lot of long scarves, leopard print, McQueen’s skulls, Etro’s royalty bohemian rhapsody, seems that we forgot about Riviera chic; small silk scarf.
The distinction of the silk scarf is really in its size, so classic Hermès measures 90cm and weighs only 65 grams. Geometry on the side, small silk scarf really turns out that luxurious effect to make mystique diva of the girl. Since Hermès carré is nobility among the scarves, some believe that girl didn’t make in her life as long as she doesn’t own her own carre; picked in Hermes Paris. So you can touch it and feel it or smell it just like Vogue’s paper. Some are paraphrasing same story about Pucci cognizable prints on small piece of fabric.
What is common to scarves of Hermès, Pucci, Lacroix, Versace, Casol or Ferragamo is their uniqueness. Whether the story on the fabric or memories and moments you will create wearing the same fabric.
Some people frame their Hermes scarf like fait du art or sleep on it instead of pillow .I believe in more creative ways. Tres chic as headband, belt or enveloped around straps of your top or like a bow on the back, isn’t it?
When I was looking for scarves online I must admit I am amazed by vintage 80s collection from nastygal. Also I found some alternative but still beautiful buys on the budget.

p.s. scarf is like a final touch of the outfit, like a fragrance so it’s not the sin to spray a few drops of your personality on it. Never know where you might leave it. Unless you wear Hermès. In that case pay attention.
