LOVE DESIGNMarch 16 2015

What would the world be without design and art?  

Literature, paintings, opera, fashion, architecture, the list goes on and on and on.  

In this very noisy world it's nice to keep it simple sometimes and just adore the beauty of contribution of art and design from people.  

Here is some EMKY contribution with our weekly feature, see here.  

Cheers to a happy week:)


Pump Up Your BasicsFebruary 18 2015

A pair of denim jeans and a neutral top is a great base for any outfit, especially on the weekends.

Are you looking to take your outfit to the next level?   Distressed denim jeans, a neutral top, and a print will bring that great base to an amazing look in a matter of seconds.  Of course, we're biased, but for the print portion of the outfit, we suggest an EMKY fashion scarf.   This look is perfect for walking through the city, running errands before a dinner date, or heading to happy hour.  There is just enough color that pops well against the black base to give this outfit an extra wow factor.

 

Look up, not down.  Check out another way we styled this scarf here.

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:

Style Tip #3: Wrap Those Locks Up With a...September 24 2014

Style Tip #3 is all about wrapping your hair in a scarf.  Anyone can do this!  You can have virtually any length of hair for this to work. 

This look is perfect for:

1.  A bad hair day. 

2.  When you don't have time to wash your hair (Whoops! We won't tell! Shhhhh!!).

3.  When your roots are growing out or you need a trim.

4.  If you just feel like trying something new to spice up your look.

5  If you feel like your outfit is a little on the boring side and you want to add a stylish element or A PRINT!!  A printed accessory is always a good idea.

Wrapping your hair in a scarf is a perfect way to add instant style to your everyday look. It's easy and quick to take your look to the next level.  The scarf we used in this post is one EMKY's many fashion scarves, Striped Irony.  Side note and fun fact, this was not a very popular scarf at first, but has quickly become a staff and customer favorite!  It's always interesting how opinions change over the design to production phases!  This particular fashion scarf is 14" X 72",  super light weight, 100% silk chiffon, and is  PERFECT to wrap in your hair.  You can tie this effortlessly  in many ways around your hair and head and it will stay put.  Simply fold in half twice and tie in a double knot at the nap of your neck. 

Here are 3 ways to wear:

1.  Tie it around your hair and let the scarf drape over your shoulders.  Try leaving your hair down for this look.  But if you prefer you can...

2. Tie your hair in a loose pony tail using the scarf.  You can also use an actual hair-tie if your hair is too thick.  Style the scarf like a headband.  Then try wrapping the scarf around your hair like a hair tie at the nap of your neck a  couple of times in a single or double knot depending on the thickness of your hair.

3. Tie that hair in an oh-so-popular top knot!  Easy and very little fuss required.  You can leave the scarf hanging down your back or you could also tie it in a loose bow if you don't want it to drape as much.

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.
