I LOVE scarves. If I had one that didn’t overpower or clash with the printed headbandish-tie I am wearing, then I would soooo be keeping my neck warm right about now! Southern California weather will do that to you – allow you to invest in cozy accessories when need be.

And depending on your personal style, a splash of holiday flair may be just what your outfit, or your loved one’s outfit, could use. Whether you prefer to wear a scarf with a matching beanie or hat, wear it strictly for practicality to and fro in the cold, or prefer a splash of cozy, chic style – scarves are a must-have for any gal.

Can you believe that among my 15 + scarves hanging in my closet, I don’t have a velvet one? I am actually surprised myself. My Chic Things, one of the most trusted online boutique-blogs that Beauty Chat can’t get enough of, offers a Velluca velvet scarf that is “plush, lush, and fabulous!”

Handmade in the U.S. with imported fabric, it comes in a variety of brilliant colors that will brighten up any drab winter day, such as garnet red, hunter green, sapphire blue, and chocolate.

You can order soft, velvety goodness by visiting MyChicThings.com. Now that’s a great holiday gift idea, if I don’t say so myself!
