The World's Longest Social Scarf

Wrapped in Merino is oh so social now, and is on a mission to set a new record. As an irresistible bonus, they are giving away Net-a-Porter gift cards every week!

Check out my addition to the scarf (I'm in the purple) ;)

Billion Dollar Babes - Society for Rational Dress Knitwear Sale

Billion Dollar Babes is a new website (but not new to the fashion scene) that holds three high end designer sales per week. Here I am featuring a few knitted pieces from the Society for Rational Dress sale going on right now.

"Structure Vest" - an alpaca/merino blend yarn. The vest features two leather and chain link closures at front. The collar is a fold over that covers the upper shoulders in the back. It is a very stylish cabled design.

"Pleated Jacket" - this over sized sweater drapes nicely. It has a bubble hemline, and comes in three natural looking colors. Also made of alpaca and merino.



"Cropped Wrap Jacket" - unique wrapped effect accomplished by wrapping the floor length front around the body. You cannot duplicate this look with your regular jackets. (only available in XS).

All of these items are on sale. The sale ends in one day, and eight hours. Register and join Billion Dollar Babes today.

Autumnal Knits for Men

Masculine off white cable knit sweater, Banana Republic's Monogram collection.

Personally, I like the red detail at the collar and cuffs. This sweater is made of merino wool and needs to be washed by hand. This is available in regular sizes as well as tall sizes.

Juicy Couture Cable Knit Sweater


This all over cabled pattern is perfect to use for various outfits. You can dress it up or down easily. This one is available at Neiman Marcus.


More knits to explore:


Alexander McQueen Bubble Cardigan - This one is very unique, so wear it to be different and stand out in a crowd. Don't be alarmed, the "bubbles" are not huge stand out bubbles, but are more of a textural fabric effect.
Maison Martin Margiela Happy Tweed Cardigan - This sumptuous wool/cashmere blend sweater is classic and minimalistic in style. It is perfect for anyone.
Y-3 Wide Collar Sweater Jacket - This one is extremely textural, with a high collar for windy days. It is on sale right now but only available in XL on this website.

Yarborough Fiber Jewelry


Innovations are popping up all over the knitting/fashion world, and this is one of them. These beautiful bracelets and bangles will leave you lusting for more and more luxurious yarns to add to your stash. They would also be great conversation starters. I can even see crafty fashionistas coming up with their own takes on this idea. Imagine the endless posibilites! At first I didn't think the pairing of the textured bangle over the texture of a knitted sweater would work, but it seems to look perfect in the first image I have provided (via shopbop.com of course) here. Feel fabulous and glamorous this holiday season, in whatever fiber you choose to surround yourself in :)


Here is a short designer bio taken from shopbop.com:

"Former book editor Elizabeth Yarborough studied literature and writing at Vassar College and the University of St. Andrews. In the spring of 2006, she left the corporate book world, embarking on an arts and crafts spree in her East Village apartment, an adventure which evolved into her jewelry line. With humor and an eye toward deconstruction, her designs subvert traditional wardrobe staples, reintroducing them in innovative, surprising ways. Her jewelry has been featured in Vogue and Vanity Fair."
