{Giveaway} Win this FOTINI Romanov Print Scarf ($275 value)

IMG_1116Since first meeting fashion designer, Fotini at her design studio in NYC, I have been completely enamored with her designs — and prints! For spring her collection was very feminine and pretty with soft, floral tones and elements of lace and then for fall she kept the feminine silhouette but added in a whole level of sexiness and mystery that’s beyond. And as part of her fall collection she created a custom Romanov print which was used as part of a gown (pictured below). She also used the silk chiffon print to create a limited edition scarf ($275 value), that I’m wearing in the photo above and am so excited to give away! It’s so limited, it’s not even on her site! Tie it, wrap it, it can be worn in multiple ways. It’s actually quite long (I’ve wrapped it around several times) and so elegant, that even matched with a basic white tank and jeans, it can make (and glam up) any outfit.

WIN IT!! There are 3 ways to enter:  Each option counts as a separate entry. 

  • Follow @Fotininyc on twitter & tweet her using the hashtags #FOTINI #giveaway. SAMPLE TWEET: RT and Follow @FotiniNYC for your chance to win this custom ($275 value) scarf: http://bit.ly/HZiz2C/ #FOTINI #giveaway

Style Mondays: Mixing Prints and Textures

Timo WeilandFor the past few season’s prints on prints, mixing textures and colors has been all the rage. And you can read all the articles about “how to do it” but my best advice is to just experiment. Sometimes you’ll hit the jackpot and other times it will be an epic fail. It’s just the nature of
