Luxe Fashion Meets Decor: Scarves As Art

In my opinion, artwork is one of the most challenging aspects of home decor.  I often find it difficult to come across unique, original and affordable art.  Ideally, it would be great to have a beautiful collection of original artwork...but until the bank account allows, I need to get creative and mix it up! Lately, I've been noticing beautiful silk scarves, framed and used as art! Brilliant!

Check out some of the amazing pieces of art...I mean scarves out there right now!

ECHO DESIGN

A few weeks ago I celebrated my 30th birthday.  Joe, my husband (and a particularly great gift giver), presented me with a beautifully, iconic orange box...Hermes! (Thirty isn't so bad after all!)  I was ecstatic to discover a beautiful silk scarf inside! Along with it came a box of suggestion cards on how to wear/use the scarf.  I never realized how many wonderful uses there are for scarves!  But I got to thinking...even with all the great options, I might not use it or admire it nearly as much as I'd like...Unless, however, I framed it!!! Then I could enjoy my beautiful gift all the time!

I still need to pick out a frame and matting option but stay tuned for the finish product!

Resort Chic: Echo

Over the years I've had several great beach coverups from Echo but it wasn't until recently I discovered their website! Stumbling upon it, I felt like I had found a hidden treasure!  How did I not know about this?! Not only are the fun, bright colors and prints so perfect for our Palm Beach wardrobe, but the prices are ridiculous (ridiculously good, that is!)! Nearly, everything on the site is less than $100!

I had to restrain myself from putting one of everything in my online shopping cart!

Their scarves are great! Very Hermes inspired, but a fraction on the price!

Any of them would be so chic as a head scarf or tied onto a handbag. 

Their caftans, coverups and pareos are amazing!

Makes me want to book a vacation!

And the beach accessories are the cutest!

Can't wait to sport my new Echo purchases! Maybe over the Fourth of July weekend!!
