6 Uniquely Chic Ways To Tie A Scarf

If you have ever been baffled at how to tie your scarf, Studio 1220 is here to help. Don't just keep throwing one end over your shoulder, learn some fresh new ways to create different knots and designs, to keep you looking stylish and warm.

THE BOW TIE
Wrap the scarf around your neck and make sure both ends are even. Then, tie the scarf just as you would tie any bow. You need a longer scarf for this one.

THE CLASSIC NECK WRAP
Although it looks complicated, this scarf style is easy to tie. Just double up the scarf and wrap it around your neck. Take both ends and thread it through the loop.

DOUBLE THE TROUBLE WRAP
Start by putting the scarf around your neck so that the ends hang in back. Then wrap the ends around to the front and loosen the section of scarf around your neck. For extra flair, add 2 knots at the ends.

WILD WEST STYLE
Take one end of a wide scarf and place it on your shoulder. Take one corner from the other end and make a little knot on one shoulder. Leave the last corner free to give the triangle look. 

FORGET ME KNOT
Tie a loop at one end of your scarf and leave it loose. Slip the other end of the scarf into the loop and tighten it to taste.

THE NECK ROSETTE
Take a skinny scarf and wrap it around your neck. Start twisting the scarf until it curls and then start wrapping the scarf around itself. Tuck in the ends.

Autumn By The Sea... California Style



Living in coastal towns and cities has so many perks. You get the oceans, beaches, and cool sea breezes. Although people think that living by the beach in California means hot, sunny weather, that is not always the case. Come fall, it starts to cool down quite a bit, the beaches get less crowded and just like everywhere else, we need to break out our favorite sweaters, boots, and scarves. Since so much of the summer and spring by the beach is full of bright colors, flowing tops, and sandals, it's fun for us to be able to do the exact opposite during fall and winter. Showcased for Autumn at Studio 1220 we feature browns and colors of the sea!

FALL LIP TIP
We all start to loose that summer glow come fall, so find other ways to brighten up your face with coral colored hues on the lips. This color looks great with all the more somber brown, black, nude and grey tones in your sweaters and jackets you'll be wearing this fall. The orange tint in coral lipstick is also a great subtle nod to Autumn. Put a dab on the cheeks and rub it in for a beautiful blush too.
