FRAAS Scarf Review!

I can’t believe it’s already September and fall is practically here. You know what that means, cooler weather and Halloween. One of those is a thing I love, the other…not so much. Take a guess which one.



Just kidding, cool weather isn’t too bad. Fall in general does have some other pretty cool things too aside from Halloween, like pumpkin flavored everything and the fashion. I love sweater weather and fall accessories including scarves, which is why I was pretty excited when FRAAS contacted me to review one of their newest scarves.



Their newest scarf line is 060607, it is an ideal style to celebrate the fall season. It reverses so that two distinctive looks are possible and comes in four flattering shades: petrol which is a teal/green color, dark red, purple, and black. It is a super soft mix of viscose and acrylic. It is also 14 x 72 inches big.

I received their scarf in purple and I really love it. I know it looks more blue than purple but it's a kind of indigo, purple color and really lovely. As you can see, the main theme of the scarf is polka dots. One side is solid with multi-colored (but still in shades of purple) polka dots and on the opposite side it’s multi-colored with solid polka dots. I’m not a huge fan of polka dots but the multi-colored side is really eye-catching. The colors are bright and so pretty but still goes well with practically anything. Also, the fabric is really soft and not itchy like some scarves can be.

Overall, I really did like this scarf, it is very lovely. I can definitely wear it in the winter, too. Also, if you’re looking for a simple gift for someone this would be perfect. Definitely check them out!

Buy It! These scarves retail for $40 and you can purchase them via phone by calling 212-575-0191 or check out amazon.com!

Scala Wool Crusher Hat Review!

Hey everyone1 My next review is for Scala's new Wool Crusher Hat. Perfect for the chilly winter season we have coming up now or are currently in (depending on where you are)! I received the hat in black.



While, in my opinion, it is not the prettiest hat it may in fact be the warmest.

Women's Wool Crusher Hat by Scala - a division of Dorfman Pacific Cloche Hat for Ladies is created from 100% wool to keep your head warm on cold days Rolled brim helps to shield eyes from wind and snow. As the website says: "Fabulous, easy-to-wear winter cloche from the Scala Pronto Collection made of soft, shirred boiled wool in seven great colors."

It's a really great hat because you can pack it easily without having to worry about it losing it's shape, hence it's name "wool crusher." It is also very soft for wool and comfy on your head.

It's a very simple hat but it can go with anything, also it's pretty easy to add a little flower or ribbon to it to spice it up. I actually gave this hat to my roommate and she added a pink flower and it looked really, really cute.

Definitely check it out, it makes a great little gift for the Christmas season coming up. Even a stocking stuffer if you have a fat stocking!

Alex Blake Tights Review!

Hey everyone! My next review is for Alex Blake. Alex Blake is an awesome website that has a various selection of fabulous tights from all price ranges. I was given the chance to review a wide assortment of their great opaque tights which are great for this fall season! Alex Blake was insanely kind and sent me six different tights to review!



The tights I received are:

Jonathan Aston 40 Denier Opaques in Aubergine - Sold for $9.75, they come in loads of awesome colors. But this Augbergine is like a nice grayish purple, it's a super awesome color that goes with practically everything. A great alternative to black. Also the most transparent of the tights and least thick.

Pamela Mann 80 Denier Opaque in Chocolate - Sold for $9.89, also comes in loads of awesome colors. They also have 50 denier and 120 denier sold in same shades. There really aren't many nice brown tights, or I haven't seen many, but this one is great. Brown is such an underrated color especially with tights and I plan on rocking these out.

Levante Suede Matte 50 Tights in Blumarine - Sold for $11.25. Super dark color, almost black, to be honest I don't think I noticed it was blumarine until I read the label. Nice, smooth, and matte. Nice dark color, also a great alternative to black but if you still want to stick to just dark colors.

Falke Seidenglatt 70 Tights in Black - Sold for $38, they're about to get more awesome color on their site, too. These were the first pair I tried on and they're so smooth and soft. I think they may be my favorite ones. They're just so, so comfortable and look great on. They're shiny opaques too which I think are awesome.

Pretty Polly 60D Lustre Opaques in Redcurrant - Sold for $13. This picture really does not do these tights justice. They look super bright but they're a nice dark cranberry color. They actually look really awesome with that dress but the flash kind of ruins the picture. I love the color and I can totally see myself rocking them with a black mini skirt.

Aristoc Microfibre 80D Tights in Black - Sold for $29. New to the Alex Blake site, they have 3D technology which makes them soft and stretch in all directions. They're similar to the Falke ones but not shiny, but matte instead and a great classic black.

Pretty Polly 120 Modal Tights in Black - Sold for $17, these are also new on the site. These are really thick but super comfortable, perfect for those crisp cool fall nights. These are also up there in my favorites just because they're so comfortable. Plus you don't see thick tights that often.

As you can see above, I took various pictures of the tights in two different dresses but the blacks look very similar on picture but feel and look very different in person. Plus they feel different too. Some are thicker while others are smooth. Some are matte while others are shiny. I actually think the various thicknesses are great to have because fall is always a tricky season with weather. Hot one day, cold the next, eventually getting colder for winter.

I found all of the tights to be very well made, some were a little tight and I was worried I'd rip them but they stretched perfectly. It was great to see the price ranges and how the texture seemed to change with the price. The more transparent ones are cheaper but the thicker and smoother the pricier, which is totally understandable. I felt myself more comfy in the thicker ones, especially the thicket Pretty Polly ones, they were like amazing sweatpants. I could wear them all day then just hang out in them all night.

Overall, Alex Blake is a great website with a great selection of tights for various prices and styles. Definitely check them out, especially their wide selection of opaques. Fall is tight season and you definitely have to check out this awesome tight site!

Buy It! Head on over to Alex Blake's website and browse their awesome selection! You won't be disappointed!

Fraas Scarf/Shawl Review!

Hey everyone! My next review is for Fraas. If you recall they sent a scarf and shawl to me in the past, now they sent me a combination of the two of them!



This combination scarf/shawl is really, really cool. I'm going to go out and say it's definitely my favorite Fraas product so far. It's huge and covers your body so well and is super warm. Lately, the east coast has been getting quite the cold wave and, as I just received this yesterday, I've been rocking out with it on allll yesterday and today. It is so incredibly warm, soft, and all-around cozy.

This is a perfect addition to add to your new fall accessories. It's a great switch from the regular scarf. It's in the shape of a small cape, which I think is really cool and unique, but you can still wear it around your neck, across your shoulders, however you usually wear scarves. It'll keep you nice and warm. I also love that it's in black because it goes with practically everything. I just love basic colored scarves because it's easier to wear them with everything. Usually when it's winter I'm too cold and tired to color coordinate, haha.

What's great is that Fraas has accessories for both men and women, what's not so great is that they're German and it doesn't look like their very available around the US only online. But they have a huge variety of scarves for both men and women, definitely check out their website!

Definitely check them out! I haven't seen this scarf/shawl online anywhere, but keep on the lookout because this one is sure to go fast!

Buy It! Head on over to Fraas' website and browse their selection or Amazon.com.
