MOD SQUADApril 03 2015
Compared to clothing, accessories are particularly unique because they never go out of style if you, the stylist, are wearing it up to your standards. This scarf has a chameleon like quality that seems to match just about anything.
The mod look is coming back in full effect this year and we couldn't we more thrilled. This look screams spring, beach, and frolicking in the sunshine.
Style Tips:
- Wrap this scarf around your neck to expose your arms and shoulders. Tie your hair out of the way in a top knot.
- Add simple gold or silver dainty jewelry to your wrists and fingers to add an extra special touch.
- Not into this top? No problem. This look works really well with a simple tank, light blouse, or even a casual, fitted tee with clean style lines. We recommend tucking your top into the skirt to take advantage of the button and seam details. These lines will elongate your figure.
- As always, play around with the various pieces in this clothing story. This outfit would also look great with cute flats and a simple tank tucked into the skirt.

How To Tie A Fashion ScarfNovember 19 2014
It's so chilly outside!! New weather means new ways to wear your fashion scarves. EMKY fashion scarves are meant to be worn in all types of weather and styled with all types of pieces. We want you to use your creativity while wearing these scarves. The silk scarf featured in this post can be seen here and is 14" x 72". Here are some new ways to tie your scarf- remember, play with accessories, color, and different layers in your closet to create a look up to your standards.
#1 Way to tie your scarf is to wrap it around your neck loosely one time so it flows over your chest and shows off that gorgeous, colorful print!
#2 Way to tie your scarf is to drape it over your neck and secure it with a belt at your waist.
#3 way to tie your scarf is to fold in half and loop the loose ends around the enclosed end of the scarf. Pair with a sweater for an extra cozy look!
#4 Way to tie your scarf is to drape it very low and loose around your neck and tie in a single knot. This style also looks amazing with a feminine cut blazer or loose blouse!
#5 way to tie your scarf is great for an evening look. Loop this scarf around your neck twice and let one end of the scarf fall on your chest and the other end of the scarf fall to your back.

5 Ways To Wear A Fashion ScarfOctober 23 2014
Imagine this: you wake up after hitting the snooze button, holding a cup of coffee peering into your closet, blurry eyed, trying to figure out what to wear. Hmmmmm, what to wear? It's mind boggling sometimes! But there is a quick fix. Well, we may be biased, but accessories are the perfect way to put together a gorgeous outfit-quick.
Simply pick out some neutral pieces, for example black pants and a cream top, then throw it together with a scarf that suits your mood. It could be bright and bold or have a monochromatic print-whatever suits your mood. Then top off your look with some earrings or a simple necklace, and go face the day!
Here are some ideas on how to wear a fashion scarf:

Print Spotlight: Tour De EmkyJune 26 2014
With head quarters in San Diego, out door activities are occuring around the clock all year long. This particular fashion scarf was inspired by all the biking that goes on in Cali: on the board walk in our numerous beach towns, downtown SD, even on hiking trails! This scarf is so loved because it is reminiscent of biking across town for a gorgeous day on the beach. The blue colors represent the sky and the ocean. The bike imagery speaks for itself. This print was executed with watercolor paint( love when scarf designs start as paint!). Here is the print and a great way to wear it:
Pair this scarf with dark colors or light colors! Wear over your shoulders, in your hair, or knotted like a necklace like it is shown here. Shop this look here!
Have a great day!

Hi emky readers! Is it springing forward yet where you are at? It seems to be springing forward pretty consistently year round here at our HQs in San Diego.
How are you updating your look as the warmer weather hits? We recommend playing around with pieces you already have in your wardrobe and incorporating new warmer weather pieces, if your budget allows it, of couse.
Here's a simple look to incorporate our sixteen bit fashion scarf with pieces you most likey can find in your closet.
Here are three ways to wear a variety of emky fashion scarves:
1. Pair the one of the fashion scarves with cut offs, a blouse(we love this colbalt blue one pictured!), and some gold toned bracelets. Play around with how you style the scarf, wrap it around your neck loosely or let it drape over you back.
2. ALL BLACK! Can you find some black pieces in your closet? How about a strapless dress or black pants paired with a pretty black top. Then top of your look with the one of our fashion scarves!
3. Light jeans and a white top. Go casual with this look and let the scarf do the talking by draping it over your shoulders.

emky Secret #2January 24 2014
Hey there and Happy Friday!!!!
Care for an emky secret this week? No? Yes? Sure, why not?
We want you to understand our brand better and how it effects you so you can value it as much as possible. This secret, as is last weeks, is pretty obvious to us, but may not be to you unless you really dig through emkyshop.com.
emky Secret #2....
We are dedicated to producing product in the USA. Yes, it's more expensive and can be a lengthy process, yet can simpify things at the same time. Just an FYI, if you don't know, it can be pretty cheap to produce goods overseas, but it's a rather complicated process. Our brand was designed and developed on US soil, so why not produce our goods here too? We think it's important to keep things in the USA to support our country and its work force-we believe in utilizing the resources businesses in the US have to offer.
Be mindful of what your are purchasing, try to support made in USA product when it is possible!
Check out emky secret #1 here:)
Thank you for listening to our secret and have an amazing start to your weekend!!
emky Secret #1January 14 2014
SSHHHHH!!!!! We want to tell you something...
We like Tuesdays at emky. Yes, it's no Friday. It's CERTAINLY no Saturday, but if you're doing something you love, what's the difference?
Since this is a fairly new brand and we have just started the viewing process and fashion can be a bit overwhelming, we'll be sharing a new fact every Tuesday about this brand, emky. We hope you follow along, and if there's something you'd like learn about us or would like to see, please shoot us an email, info@emkyshop.com, we'd absolutely love to hear your two cents.
emky secret #1:
We love, love, love prints. LOOOOVVVEEEEEEE prints. Let's spell it out: emky=prints.
Have you perused our shop online? We'd love for you to take a gander and tell us what print you could see yourself wearing. Or if your a guy, would you wear one of these scarves? If not, what scarf would you like to see a lady wearing?
We design everything and we knock nothing off. PROUDLY. The designs you find on our scarves are designed by emky's owner. We didn't purchase them from a studio. We didn't shop the market to find them. We didn't google "amazing prints" and send the file to our printer to create the scarves. We didn't take the concept from another brand or designer(hence, the term knock off). The designs aren't filtered through a lengthy design team. These designs are original, raw, authentic emky designs.
This means that these designs are inspired, painted, illustrated, sprayed, colored, and absolutely photoshopped(swooon, our favorite).
What's our favorite fashion scarf print thats in our shop right now? Hmmmmm, tough question. We would have to say Bugaboo Deux, In Pixelation, and Bluesy Stripes. Which were very popular picks on our contest on Facebook. Which, you should enter! It is still open, and you never know when a contest will have more then one winner;)
Thank you for reading our secret and learning a bit more about us. We look forward to sharing more next Tuesday. See, Tuesdays just got much better for us!! What are you doing to make your Tuesday more enjoyable?
Happy day and make it an awesome one.
Outfit PlanningJanuary 12 2014
Are you looking for an easy out when getting ready tomorrow morning? Mondays are a great day to try something new after a relaxing weekend. Why not freshen your look up with a scarf?
This particular look will work amazing in a creative or professional work setting. Try pairing this scarf with a dark blazer and dark pants and tie loosely down the front of your body. Try experimenting with color and shapes of scarves too-this look would also be great with indigo wash jeans and a lighter top.
Since you have a great look for tomorrow morning, now you can loose the stress, get dressed, feel amazing, and have more time for yourself to enjoy that cup of coffee or tea and not worry what to wear in the process.
Pictured is our Flamin' Cool scarf, which can be seen here.
Have a great day!
